| How much does your dentist cost? - CidCock on 11/28/12 at 10:55 am
I have okay dental insurance, but the dentist seems like a scam.
How much do you guys usually pay for a dental visit (cleaning, dentist check you over)? Also, why do they need to do x-rays every year?
ETA: My last visit was $120 out of pocket....insurance paid $80. Does this seem right?...

Don't get me wrong, I am excited about Carolina football and our domination of Clemson. However, we don't have any potential Bowl Matchups that excite me.
I would rather have a SEC/SEC Bowl game vs A&M or Bama, TBH. At least, that would be exciting...
