[QUOTE]Originally posted by Albino_Eskimo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SayWhatYouSee: [qb] Sashyra, Americans can be spotted by their voices too! You don't think the deal I illustrated above is astonishingly cheap? Albino, ouch, I too have had a wisdom tooth removed, it is painful. I hope you feel better soon. [/qb][/QUOTE]No our quality of life is mostly privately paid for, Europeans have loads of basics paid for by the government while we pay for basics out of pocket. Our lifestyle is more expensive. That democracy for you, socialism is cheaper and better quality in the long run...... Anyway you look at it vacationing in Egypt is still more expensive for Americans than for Europeans. Same with the Australians. I have heard its common for Australians to take a "leap year" between high school and college to travel cheaply. Just leaving the country on a flight is staggering, so doing as much travel at once instead of staggered out over a lifetime is much more sensible. Americans can't often take this leap year because reputable colleges frown upon it, so forgo extensive travel and get into the dorm at age 18 or else. :( the wisdom tooth isn't out. he found that the impacted wisdom tooth has an extra long root which is curled in my jaw bone. he pulled up just enough to crush the tooth in half and make it easier for the next dentist to pull it. At least now the wisdom while impacted won't push on the entire lower left side of my jaw and cause excruciating discomfort. I was told by american dentists that I had to have my wisdome tooth surgically removed and at the same time it would be wise to break the entire mandible and have it straightened out. Been told this by dentists and orthodontists since I was 12 years old. Its not covered by insurance and its about $6000-$8000 USD to get done. Which is down from $14,000 USD quoted when I was 12 years old. My jaw is crooked, and having lower wisdome teeth pushing on the entire lower teeth is causing alot of tension and headaches from TMJ. I don't know what is going to happen, but the Denist said it would take 5-7 days for the gums to heal up. Its been 7 days and its only halfway healed. Now he's telling my husband (a safe distance from me of 6,000 miles he can fully vouch) that nerve damage will (and has) affected my speech some which will take an entire month to recover. My jaw is locked and will only open so far so I can't eat many solid foods. So its a liquid diet and people joking with me about my temporary lisp. I have dropped about 15 lbs and a entire jean size. I am forcing myself to eat and following all of the dentists orders, pain killers, medicated mouthwashes and antibiotics. Don't forget that is the normal course of treatment that American HMOs will pay for, not the jaw surgery. Sooner or later I will have to have the jaw surgery. Working overseas in either the Arab Gulf or Cairo I am hoping for international HMO which will probably cover the jaw surgery to straighten the jaw and remove the two impacted "curved" wisdom teeth of the law jaw. Its the only way I can afford to have it done before the age of 40 and it was suggested at age 12! Its bothered me my whole life and this is a temporary fix. I am grateful to the dentist for trying. 3 injections of novacaine and 3 hours of trying to pull the bastard tooth out, in addition to me passing out twice the guy deserves a medal. Sorry for rambling, but it hurts. :p [/QB][/QUOTE]
