    Oh ABSOLUTELY yes sir! :yes2557: And that's the reason I wait soooooo long to have all that done here.... specially the dental treatment... I waited almost 5 yrs to have my dental treatment in Brasil instead of America. Not only for the price but because Brazilian dentists are MUCH MORE conservative than American dentists... here they do whatever they can to preserve the tooth rather than replace it with an artificial one...
    So far I have done 2 teeth with 4 canals each one + 6 restorations + 2 crowns with strong metallic base and this is the price they gave me... Notice, this dentist IS EXPENSIVE because she is VERY GOOD with 40 yrs experience....
    This is the estimate... 4.260,00 all in Reais divided by 4 and you have the price in dollars U$1065.00

    And the MRIs... $650,00 Reais each one... divided by 4 = U$162.50.
    I have already done 6 and may do a couple more... just to check on somethings... and keep the records for myself.... :D

    Mine just miraculously started working better than it has for a year. Before it would have at least 4 strokes a day. Just when I was ready to get serious and buy one of those great big log books that you can actually see.

    I started at 3:30 this morning when I started the truck, after about 5 minutes it finally decided to awaken, beeped at me, I waited some more, then got it to work, drove 6 hours through rain, my wiper motor decided to learn from the omnitracs and quit working leaving the wipers pointing straight to the sky.
    So after 30 minutes of getting soaked in cold Kentucky rain, I drive to Crashville get a new wiper motor in the downpour, extreme price of 350!
    And now sit at Birmingham in the rain.
    Load got cancelled for tomorrow that would have taken me home,
    Good Times today, at least its only raining and not snowing?

    Maybe I should go to Brazil and get the teeth taken care of. The last qoute reckons insurance times two dental policies will pay 2000 dollars for two sets of dentures, one temporary while the other permanent quality one is built to order. The final cost all in will be around 5000 dollars out of my pocket.

    That caused me to simply decide that some day I will have one tooth in life and I will shine it, gold plate it and be obnoxiously eating steak and taters with it at the 5 pound steak special in one hour down in San Antone.

    I know pricing has gotten extreme in America but that's a bit much. I think maybe I get a block of Ash wood and start carving.

    Well.. if all you need is cheaper dental treatment, consider having it done in Mexico.... much cheaper than flying all the way to Brasil and back... besides, consider hotel and food while you are there... at least 2 weeks depending on length of treatment... :confused:
    I wouldn't come to Brasil for only dental treatment.... but I was kinda "lucky" my teeth could "wait" till I had to travel and then have it all done with this dentist that I like so much....
     
    dwells40 and x1Heavy Thank this.
