Dentist
« on: March 15, 2013, 11:59:21 AM »
Well for the last few years my teeth have been slowly going South with decay, chipping, etc.
I started to go to Dentist (finally got Dental Insurance) last month.
I gave him a September deadline (Eldest Daughter's Wedding) to pull what was necessary and get a partial for me.
He asked if I wanted to save any (Root Canals, Crowns).
I said nope, pull'em. Turns out I had 15 that needed pulled.
I go to Office today, He says "You're here, I'm here, let's get'em all today".
Talk about the suck. 15 pulled in less than 20 minutes. 20 needles of Novacaine total.
Mouth now full of Stiches, Blood and Gauze. I'm drooling and can't even tell,lol
Was told I was best Patient they ever saw, because I was calm & stayed relaxed.
Kinda wished he had of put me out, but I made it through.

Wow I had 4 baby teeth pulled out when I was six or seven and that sucked.  Can't imagine 15!

If you have insurance, I would highly recommend unconscious next time, holy crap man.

Hopefully, at least the bad part is over.

I had a tooth break off at the gumline and the "temporary" crown only lasted 4 years.  They had to pull out what was left and insert a metal post into my upper jaw to anchor the permanent fake tooth.  It looks ok but it took several procedures to do it step by step.  I sure wonder how those "single day implant" outfits work, since the specialists who worked on me went through several lengthy steps to make darn sure everything lined up right even before the surgeon implanted the metal post, and then several visits after that to get exact measurements for the fake tooth manufacture and installation.

1 tooth was a total pain.  I sure wouldn't want to get 15 done.  Are you going to get implants to anchor bridges/dentures, or just let the gums heal over and use removeable dentures?

 You didnt get knocked out....wow much braver man than I!!!


   I had some problems with my teeth,medication that causes dry mouth can destroy your teeth in a short time. My dentist said that this is what the call meth mouth,as the use of that drug can and will cause the same conditions.

   Lucky for me my Dentist understands and gives me a little something something to take before I go and then makes sure I go sleepy by so he can do his work! Apparently I bit him so he prefers that I'm not conscious.... :devil

I must be the odd man out.  Any dentists I've been to have been pretty decent and gentle as they were working on me.  Don't know if it's just luck or what.

Still 15 pulls at once... yikes.  I had 8 done at once when I was a kid, bunch of molars needed to come out 4 on each side.  They were kind enough to knock me out though.

I shot a shootgun so much it made my teeth lose on my right side and a few year's down the line they went bad .Had 8 pulled at one time but the peracets he give me I was in no pain for a week .
Ozrocker when you go back with the partial make them screw them in . There a pain in the butt if you don't . Take's awhile to get use to but you never have to worry about them again . You can snap them in and out .

Id like to amend this comment....growing up I had a dentist that was a Navy Dentist early in her carrier......needless to say, she was awesome, and if i remember correctly, not to shabby to look at while she was working on me  :D
