And btw, this is about 3 years ago since I had about $4K worth of dental
work done. Replaced a couple filling, root canal and cap for one molar,
and the wisdom teeth removed.

The most interesting was the root canal. I saw an endodontist for that
one and it literally took 30 minutes. Yes it's expensive to go the
specialist route but they're damned efficient.
