And my wallet heaves a sigh of relief.

G had his first dental visit today after the Monumentally Expensive Dental Achievement of mid-2005, wherein I was handed a bill that had a dollar sign, a one, and three more digits after. So you can imagine my anxiety.

After a cleaning, x-rays, and a check by the dentist, G was pronounced in full dental health. I was very happy to pay that $141, let me tell you. Phew.
