Just got back from the tooth sadist to get my crown put on, I think would rather have my balls pounded flat with a mallet He got the temp off and I went through the roof Oh Joy I get to have a rootcannal sp?. Looks like 2011 is going to be a wonderful year:rant:
Ballz pounded flat NOOOOOOO F.N. You don't really mean that now do you Root cannalz iz ah piece ah cake Messin' with the boyz NOW THAT'Z SERIOUS
I have felt your pain, a couple of root canals, including a crown extension, where they grind down bone around the area below the gumline.
ahh...now you see why i haven't been to the dentist in 15 years! i just brush religiously with an electric toothbrush.
Yup that's what mom always said Ian She also said if I keep cussin my teeth will fall out. Mom was a smart lady
Bummer, I've never had a root canal but I broke a molar once rite into the root.... I can relate to your pain.
I just had four crowns done - two last Monday, two this Monday. Cheaper (relatively) and quicker than it used to be.... ($650.00 each) No return visit. Temporaries are a thing of the past, with the new Cerac CAD CAM technology. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtwgy57CFeo&feature=related Some dentists are also doing fillings and bridges using this technology. This stuff will last a lifetime, I am told. My dentist guarantees it! Root canals still suck, I think.
By the sounds of it, I'm pretty lucky. My mother had a calcium deficiency when I was born, so I lost all but 2 of my teeth by 23, then I got the last 2 yanked by 25. And even luckier, I found a real dentist who was also a well known sculptor, on the side, who built my falsies. Still have the same ones, 38 years later, and never use a fixative. Like BigBarney says, don't smash the goodies... Some airport inspector might think your suspiciously short of a load...
just about peed myself laughing..... FN...i had 2 crowns and root canals done in 2010...my insurance covers 80%...it still cost me 600.oo....so.....
Dentists - don't trust 'em. Little too happy to see you in pain. "That wasn't too bad, now was it?" (big %%$$-eating smile) No problem with the hygenists.
