I have not seen a dentist in over 10 years. I have decaying back teeth. They are killing me. I am seconds away from just going to the emergency room. I swear to God I will start fukkn around with vice grips in there. this HURTS!!!!!!!!!
This is what you get when your an Uninsured American and a barrelled in Gambler.

I don't know. A dime is not that bad. I am afraid of going in there and I need like 10-15K of procedures and shit.

I had two root canals done, at the end of 2006 and beginning of 2007. About 5 months ago had a Bridge put in for a tooth I had pulled when I was 18. I am all fixed up, and get cleanings done every 3 months now. Before the 06 visit, I had not been to the dentist in about 10 years. It is a must to keep your teeth and gums healthy, because it can lead to heart disease as well.

I am going to have to face reality but I am dreading it. It's kind of funny because I remember many people telling me take care of your teet or you'll regret it. I always would nod my head and think who cares. I am at the point where I regret it now.

[onlooker]

I regret it myself BurtR. Its not a fun process, and not cheap either.

Tie some fishing line around a door handle, tie the other end around your tooth, and have the wife slam the door. Stick a gauze pad in the open hole for tonight, and by tomorrow, you should be pain free.

We are going to start seeing a significant increase in tooth decay due to the popularity of bottled water. Tap water contains a healthy percentage of fluoride, where most bottled water does not. I am sure dentists are already planning their early retirement.

I am lucky, I don't have one cavity and I am sure a big part of it is that water is my favorite thing in the world to drink.

I hope your teef start feeling better soon. If you can get a hold of some vicodin, do it.

Sounds like u need root canals...usually when it hurts that bad the decay has reached the nerve...just make sure u dont get infected...if u notice some swelling or have trouble swallowing...u definitely need someone to look at it...when i prescribe vic/perco for pts. to carry them over the night they usually tell me that it didnt really help too much..they come back either begging for the root canal or getting it taken out which is the cheaper route...

[BurtRapp]

Not one for drugs doc but I have been killing the liquid oragel on Q-tips. Calms me down for an hour a qtip. Go through a bottle a month.

Dude try some of the universities in your area that have dental schools. You might be able to get a student to atleast pull them out for fairly cheap. If they have been bugging you that long you are going to need extensive oral surgery.

[Deuce]

Get them fixed. This could lead you other more serious issues. Don't mess around with teeth. You kind of need them.

Man, i had to get root canal, the infection came back a couple years later, and now i'm currently in the process of root canal again. Since it's like a 3 day thing, i've already got the 1st day done, luckily i'm still on my mothers insurance so i don't pay a dime But it does suck, altho there really is no pain, but i'm always a bit nervous.
