Don't Like Dentists.

[bullet08]

But my wife believes good dental health is important. Back when I first came to America, I didn't have health insurance for 15 years or so. First dentist visit after I found my job, the dentist was surprised there wasn't a single cavity. It's been awhile since my last dentist visit. Once again, no issues. Of course, I had good number of cracked teeth, but that's because I like opening my beer bottles with my teeth.

Anyway, long story short, I think I got strep throat from the dentist office. I rarely go anywhere now days, and no one plays with my mouth. So they are "it"!

I'm using ancient Korean remedy of hard drinking to see if it drowns the damned bugs. Jack and Coke please!!!

I count myself lucky. My dentist is 84 years old, travels at least once a year to stay current on dental techniques. My wife nicknamed him "Dr. Relentless." Every six weeks I see him for a cleaning and any prophylaxes work. He's pleasant, his wife runs the office and doubles as his tech when required. I actually consider myself "damned lucky" to have found him twenty years ago.

The lady that cut out all of my teeth did it painlessly and we joked with each other throughout the entire process.

They yanked out my cracked teeth without any pain. Then I bled for few days. I think I forgot to mention Plavix use. Hey, if women can bleed a week every month, I can do it few days.

That's why they make bottle openers. Since you're a Peterson fan, you obviously have some good judgment, but then you say stuff that makes me think you might be a little off plumb.

To-date I have had only one root canal procedure (thanks be to God), and I dreaded it. My endodontist noticed my discomfiture and asked if I was nervous. "Absolutely!" I responded. He asked why, and I explained that I was afraid it was going to hurt. He promised me that it would not, and was true to his word. He had me numbed to the point that I wouldn't have felt it had a Humvee been dropped on my jaw.

She's attractive, but not so much that I would allow her to cut out my teeth,,,

Only once for me, hopefully never again - off to the side I could see the blood pressure monitor - it was off the charts and scared me and the doc - wasn't long after my new regular doc had me on a little pill, lol. BP been perfect ever since.

Imagining the conversation made me think of Miss Halverson!

Yupe. Got a bad one. Read the NyQuil label, and I got all the symptoms + some others. Taking few shots of NyQuil and hitting the sack.

Actually I could talk quite well. Seems her assistant wasn't fond of the sight of blood and one of my broken teeth shot across the room when freed from my gums. The dentist and I took great amusement at the assistant's gagging when that happened.
