The cost of a manicure/pedicure vs a dental appointment is DRASTICALLY different. I just paid $200 to take my 10-yr old in for a tooth check up and then $400 to have three cavities filled. I will pay another $200 or so to have sealants put on his teeth. I paid $30 for a manicure/pedicure. Okay, so people who would spend $30 or more every week for one of those and then whine about spending the $200 for a dental check up, I can see whining about them. Thus the reason I tell my kids they don't go to the dentist every six months. Taking them in for a doctor well check for a $25 each co-pay once per year is financially easier vs $400 for both of them to go to the dentist every six months. I get a manicure/pedicure just a couple times a year and tend to do my nails at home to save the money.<br> <br> Mind you, I DO look at how much we pay for our "health insurance" and wonder if it would be easier to just cut it and pay out of pocket. But most doctor's offices give you a HUGE hassle if you try to pay out of pocket. Not sure I could even get pricing to try and plan things out for well checks out of pocket. To say nothing of ending up at Quick Care for one boy or the other causing some problem.
