A real pain the mouth...

[pasound]

Many years ago, I had a dentist who myself, and many friends who went to him, called "Joe the Butcher". He put me under gas one time and asked me "Ok Pat, are you hearing echoes-echoes-echoes..." He died of a heart attack one day, after lunch, in one of his dental chairs, under the nitrous mask. We all cheered, but sadly it took me over 20 years to find a competent dentist again.

Oxy, hydro, and all the other codones don't do anything for pain. They just make you not care about it anymore. No root canals for this boy, just yank the culprit out!

If I did that, I wouldn't have very many molars left. I think six of them have had RC's over the years. Almost all my molars have crowns on them at this point. The only one that doesn't have one is one of my wisdom teeth that grew in on an odd angle and will have to come out when it finally breaks. With the huge roots it has, it's going to be very unpleasant. 66 and I still have my wisdom teeth..

All familiar sounding nightmares. I can relate to every post in this thread. I shudder just reading these accounts.

Whenever I go to the dentist what hurts most is my chest. That's where he puts his knee to keep me from jumping out of the chair.
