Didn't she close up business and move to New Mexico.... or something like that.
Not that I'm aware of. And I'm sure she would have at least called to say goodbye. Unless the feds finally caught up with her and she had to take it on the lam....














j/k :lol:

Think about it this way: you'll only remember the discomfort of the procedure for a week, tops. But 20 years from now you'll still be able to :biggrin: with confidence!

Really, bad teeth are just horrifying and there's no excuse for it. You don't want to be one of those old guys who make people flinch when they smile, do you?

Buddy, the pain probably means it is infected. They will not work on it until after the infection is gone so pus doesn't... well, you see where this is going. You'll get a regimen of anti-biotics and pain killers. I find the 800 m Ibuprofins do the trick nicely. If they won't give them to you. just go to Target and buy a big bottle. Take enough to equal 800. Then, they will zap you full of novacane and use these things they call 'spoons' but I call Mr. Pointy and Mr. Ouchy to pop the sucker out. P.S. you will be immune to novacane so this part will hurt like a mother ####er. Then you don't even get to keep 'stumpy' because it's toxic waste. Enjoy!

It will work out.

As soon as I got to work I told my boss to find the largest can of creamed corn and smash it into the side of my jaw. She didn't, I had to settle for Oragel.:ohwell:

I saw them. Every time I've gotten teeth pulled I've asked for them back. No dice. I think Larry went to Dr. Nick.

My daughter just had all four wisdom teeth ripped out of her head a few weeks ago. They knocked her out for it, and gave her painkillers and antibiotics. She felt like pure hell for about a week, then she was fine.

Which tooth is it? Because if you've never had a tooth pulled, that means you still have your wisdom teeth and you're at the right age for them to start bothering you.
Not necessarily - I still have all of mine. (I'm 48).

These are the procedures I remember. Some of them work better than others and some you should NOT try at all.

1. Pliers, needlenose or regular. Have a grown-up (but NOT an uncle) grab the tooth with the pliers and wiggle it til it comes out. This is pretty easy and does not hurt UNLESS somebody grabs the tooth way too hard and crushes it before it releases.

2. String. Tie some string around the tooth and wiggle it around til it comes out. You can wiggle it yourself or let somebody else do it (not an uncle). Also you can tie the string to a doorknob and slam the door or tie it to a brick and throw it as far as you can or to an arrow and shoot it as far as you can (away from houses because that arrow really will go far when that tooth releases). Do NOT tie it to an animal. Animals can be unpredictable and WILL NOT stop when you want them to.

3. Hammer and flathead screwdriver. Put the tip of the screwdriver at the bottom of the tooth (ABOVE THE GUMS) and hit the end of the screwdriver with a hammer. Do NOT use a phillips screwdriver to do this! You will regret it! Also do NOT do this with front teeth because the screwdriver will keep going when that tooth releases.

4. Fist. Punches to the mouth can release teeth, but this is NOT recommended. Punches are unpredictable and cannot focus on specific teeth. This should be used by accident only.

These are the ones I remember. Also I remember a lot of blood is involved. For kids, tooth faries are good to make them believe that tooth has to come out.

Well it's out and the left side of my face feels like a puddle slowly dripping off the right side of my face. The whole time I was in there I was thinking of the stand up Bill Cosby Himself when he was talking about going to the dentist. They put a bullet proof vest on me first and said "You'll be fine.":yikes:

Wow! That was fast and now your tooth is history! I totally forgot about the bullet method.

5. Gun, bullet, ear plugs. This is a tricky procedure and must be followed exactly. Also it is NOT recommended. This procedure is for side teeth ONLY! Do NOT use it for front teeth or back teeth. Use a small caliber gun, like a .22 or a .25 but NOT a shotgun. Put the barrel BEHIND the tooth and fire the tooth right out of the mouth. Use the ear plugs because it is loud. Also, do NOT do this on children because that tooth will be completely smashed and will not be around for the tooth fairy OR give them the money first (say it is from the tooth fairy) and that that bullet will carry that tooth all the way to the tooth fairy.

And did you promise to floss daily and get annual cleanings???
Yea, he gave me the lecture. I'm going to go back in a few weeks to check on some others.

Cool! When the anesthetic wears off, let us know how you're feeling.

I'll bet the procedure was more or less painless!
