It cost over $2000 9 years ago to get my wisdom teeth removed (4) but insurance paid 100% so it was ok.

A bit of a side rant here but what annoys me about Canada's health care system is that dental, vision, prescription drugs and a bunch of other things aren't covered (of course it depends on province). At some point we are going to have a bunch of toothless, blind people with cholesterol problems walking around.

You are absolutely correct. Basic dental should at the very least be included.

You will be far better off getting it done in the Philippines. A cleaning here costs $120 but in the Philippines its 300 pesos.

Hahaha.... Because my case is complicated, my impacted tooth is near my sinus, it's an invasive procedure and it's possible that I can be put into a general anesthesia.. :eek:

You're lucky to have a dentist sister in law.. :) Sometimes, I'm grabbing the opportunity to have a free dental check up and cleaning in the UP College of Dentistry. ;D

I agree Tagum. Before, every once in a while they will call up someone and ask for a plane ticket or, what was that letter called? Now, nothing! They just keep on sending out PPR's and get people like me excited. They like to get our hopes up. I bet most of our passports are sitting unopened in the mail room or something.
