DrDad’s answer: A huge treatment plan can feel overwhelming. I wouldn’t start by staring at the total dollar amount. I would organize the problems.
First: what is bothering you? Second: what is urgent and could become a bigger problem if you wait? Then work through the remaining treatment in a sensible order. You do not necessarily have to mentally or financially solve everything on day one.
What I Would Ask Your Dentist
What do we need to take care of first? What is urgent? What can safely wait?
DrDad Tips
Don’t be overwhelmed. Start with what’s bothering you. Take care of what’s urgent. Then keep going, one thing at a time. You’ll get there.
