And it will be paid out of the Durham D’s pocket, because as we all know, teeth are not considered to be a part of the human body when it comes to covering dental procedures in the USA, and even the best dental insurance covers only simply procedures like cleanings.

Medical insurance in the USA has no problem paying out tens of thousands of dollars for surgeries and other procedures, as long as the teeth aren’t involved.
