Tell ya the truth I hate the dentist and I do the least amount possible.
And yes I have a fear of the pain.

She may be terrified of dental work...or in denial. Many people have a serious fear of the dentist and will put off a visit until a problem can no longer be ignored. Money can sometimes be the reason, but sensitivity and pain might be a bigger factor. Time can also be a problem. Having serious work done takes a bit of time.
I wouldn't be buying luxury anything if my next handbag purchase would mean I can't afford dental care.I work in a dental office, and recently we had a patient who came in with a toothache, she needs a root canal, and also has a few broken fillings which needs to be addressed as well before it's too late. She is carrying everything designer, LV bag, LV wallet, Chanel sunglasses, etc.
However, the lady only wanted to have basic/temp treatment to get her out of pain and do not want to address the other issues she is having which could potentially lead to something bigger and cost more, because she has to purchase a new wallet.
Realistically saying, if she can layoff one of the purse for later, she will be able to afford the treatment. I found it hard to understand because as much as I am a Louis Vuitton fan, i will never put off dental treatment first before anything, at the end of day, I would like to keep my teeth as long as possible.
In her words, she is no longer in pain, she doesn't see why we need to cap it for long term, and she is not going to die from broken fillings.
I am just wondering do most people not value dental health as it is not life threatening (unlike other medical treatments) and rather spend on purses.

When it comes to spending time with people, I think lovely teeth will say more about you than a lovely bag. I bought my bag for the year. My next little splurge will by two rounds of in-office whitenings. Guess I need to "pay the piper" for all that Pinot.
Well said!! I completely agree.On the bright side, she won't have to worry about her dental health once she has dentures.
I love Louis Vuitton, but it's not a priority - health and financial security are priorities.
This is so me...I'm absolutely terrified of the dentist. Will go for a simple clean up-not for X-rays, any serious work! Thank to my child hood memory of visiting a dentist for first time. I literally cried, been slapped twice for crying, taunted, slapped again for trying to kick the dentist for being mean. Been stuck with that fake *** dentist for years as a child...
Seems like she doesn't have her priorities straight. Obviously most people prefer a day out shopping over getting a root canal, but there is this little thing called being a rational and responsible adult. Neglecting your dental health will end up costing you way more than some wallet in the end anyway.
Did you ask her what wallet she was planning on purchasing though? That would make me kinda curious! Lol!
