Halltribe, sorry to tell you that that is within normal range for dentistry, especially if your dh had a large filling. No, Medicare does NOT cover any of it. If you have private insurance with dental cover, then it will be paid (at least partly paid) by your health fund. sniff, I KNOW.

Girls I do NOT do canteen! any more, that is. I used to when I had only two kids! I tell everyone including my kids, that it's impossible with little ones. It's a violation of health rules to have them in the canteen anyway. Also I hate the way that it eats up (pun!) four hours in the middle of the day.
