One of the things that we were looking forward to this trip was to get all our kids to the dentist... The dentist is so cheep here compared to North America. We had in mind to get about 40 kids this trip. Now if you were to bring 40 kids from Canada you might expect about 60 or 70 cavities, I figured that here we might have closer to about 100 or 150, but we never expected what we have found... For example in the first 5 kids, we will need about 40 teeth fixed ... including 9 rout canals and one poor girl needs to have her front eight teeth Canalled and capped , along with extensive repairs to her molars.. The cost for her alone will be about $300 if we use the brass teeth... and will be $400 if we do the white ceramic teeth. Galbarche was surprised that she needs 4 teeth fixed ... she says that only two of them were really hurting her...
We will have to rearrange some finances here to see what we can do... It's great to bring them on outings , but we are finding serious health issues that are resulting from this...We are responsible for what we know, and now that we know..we will have to see this through. On the bright side.... Hummmmm Ok so I am having a hard time finishing that statement... maybe you can for me.!
