• dental work estimate (sent to http://www.sbcglobal.net/~DTakeuchi), http : //www . sneakemail . com/~bccme

  During my last cleaning, I asked Deena to provide me with an estimate for dental work that will be needed (I think it was filling replacements). I never heard back from Deena. Could I please be provided with an estimate so I can set aside money in my Flexi...

  • Flex Spending, Robert

    I got a call back from my dentist. It looks like replacing the fillings will only cost $82. I also plan to get a new eyeglasses prescription next year. So, I'm setting aside $182. Is there anything else you are planning to do health-wise?
