| I just got home from having a tooth pulled and am sitting here browsing the board with a bloody guaze stuffed in my mouth. Hey, I am addicted to AR15.com, what can I say? What irks me though is that I had this tooth filled 3 months ago and it abscessed last week. I wasted some good ammo money on the filling just to lose the tooth today. |
| Heck, I'm bleeding like a stuck pig. It has been 2 hours and I still go out in the yard and spit out blood like I'm chewing tobacco. I am starving, but don't want to eat just yet. I haven't missed a days work in 7 years. The last tooth I had pulled, I left work and had it pulled, then returned to work and even put in OT. |

Yeah, Imbroglio. That is, if the infection doesn't spread and kill you first! [;D] I had my wisdom teeth pulled in boot camp. During marksmanship training at Edson Range, to boot! That is, the day before qualification. They gave me some Tylenol 3 with codeine, and I was still able to shoot. I haven't shot that good since, because I was sooooooooo relaxed. I hit the bull with all my rounds at 500m, though I blew away a few on the rapid fire to bring me down to Sharpshooter. (I like the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor better than crossed rifles, anyway...)

Dentist: Mr. M, you need a root canal. Me: OK, boss, how much is it gonna cost? Dentist: $1000. You got any dental insurance? Me: No! How much for an extraction? Dentist: $35. Me: Pull it! Dentist: But I can save that tooth. Me: OK. Then you pay for it. Dentist: I don't think so, but you really should save it. Me: I'll make you a deal. You pull it and I'll save it on a chain. You can wear it around your neck. Dentist: If I pull that tooth, the others will migrate. Me: Where the hell they gonna go? Guatemala? Dentist: You want novocaine? Me: Is that extra? Dentist: No, it's included. Me: Then why the hell did you ask? I'm poor, not a masochist! How about you throw in some Nitrous for my trouble. Dentist: Me: Nice pick up line. Nurse: You better shut up becasue I'm the one with the needle. Me: Yes Ma'am. |

I guess there is a lot of white trash folks on this site. Or missing teeth is a good thing to have down south. Maybe the trailer park women go for that shit............. [;)] BUT I RATHER OWE 2 large or such for my TEETH!! YOU cant get anymore. Try eating a apple or such without them. Can't bite titties without them either! c-rock |
| The tooth I lost was a molar way back in there. It can't be seen even when I smile like a cheshire cat. I had the option of getting an expensive root canal (and not buying that AR-15 next weekend that I have been saving for) or a somewhat cheap extraction ($75). I would have fought like hell to save it if it was visible. I certainly don't want to look like a pumpkin. The way I look at it, the dentist filled it 3 months ago and said it would be okay. What makes him so sure that the root canal would work? I might have wasted my money on that too and be worse of financially than I am now. My wife had a root canal years ago and it went bad and had to be extracted. I think I made a wise decision. |
