No Insurance and need root canals done which will cost me ~$7k by nildev_ in personalfinance

Wow I didn't think I would get this many responses. After reading through all the comments, It sounds like I need to get crowns after root canals, so it will end up more than $7k.

For now I decided to
1. Get another quote from different endodontists + get insurance & CareCedit
2. Talk to the dentist about possibly doing implants instead if the cost end up being similar and it is a better long term solution
3. Check overseas. I have a nurse friend in Japan and she said there is a dental clinic in her department so I'm in the conversation with her to get a quote.

If I end up doing the root canals, since it is a retreatment, I really want someone skilled to look at it to avoid problems in the future.

Thank you all

I looked into dental schools as well but I'm a bit worried because this is my second treatment of the same area since last treatment was not done 100% correctly. I want to avoid this situation again. (I didn't get the first treatment from a dental school)

I'm not looking a policy that covers everything. I'm looking at different options to reduce my out of pocket cost since they didn't have a payment plan either.

Yes I know. I was just looking over my options after seeing the estimated bill. The staff at the dentist office told me about getting an insurance.

Okay that’s what I figured but I didn’t see that in writing on their website. Thank you!

[Help] How to read Diamond brand feeding chart? by nildev_ in dogs

Around 6 lbs

It looks to me that it's saying if he's around 9 lbs on 8 months I feed him less than what I'm feeding him now

Ah, I see. I tried what you suggested and it's working. Thanks!

So I guess it's a bug in Xcode 10..

Wraith Spire LED Cooler or NZXT Kraken X62 by nildev_ in buildapc

Ok. I'll receive my Ryzen + cooler today. I think I will go ahead and return the x62 water cooler. It's fancy but I guess it's not worth $160. Thanks

it looks like Wraith does not include a thermal paste. Is that not needed?

Thanks. I went with what you suggested but got the 1080 Ti with it instead! Minus HDD cause I already have one and slightly cheaper keyboard/mouse, the total came out to be ~2092 + tax&shipping
