Going to rid my head of all my aching teeth! Have'nt taking care of them in years. They are not fixable. It will make life so much easier with out the aching all the time.
Back in 2002 i had the rest of mine all out,22 at one time, bad gum problems, i aint had a toothache or gum problem sinse. !!!! at the same time i was recouperating from getting my arm caught in my skidder winch driveshaft. figured it was a good time to take care of it !! Don
I know the feeling. growing up money was tight and no money for teeth work. I should of did better myself too. Get a good one. They are out there. I really like the one I have. Believe it or not I feel asleep on her while she was doing a root canal on me. She is a keeper. ;D
Best thing ive done yet.
No regrets here
Good luck

the guy in union is really good. and his price is better than the ones in camden. are they going to give you the happy pill and knock you out?
A couple jabs of novacane you don't feel anything any way .Fact you don't feel anything for a long while .Take a drink of water and it goes in one side and leaks out the other . :D
Don't worry though you aren't going to bite your tongue because you won't have any teeth ----but when you get the store boughts watch out because you can really chomp yourself until you get used to them .About like sticking your tongue in a bear trap .

The Oral surgeon i went to used a I.V. of liquid vallium ;D ;D ;D La La land. Just a little guy is interested in old crawler tractors and equipment, I actually had to grab on the forecepts and help him pull a few times, all the time i was talking about tractors and spitting blood and drool all over the place !!! that stuff is awesome no pain at all ,"UNTILL" it wore off !! :o :o then reality kicked in. about 2 months later I had a dentist make a new set of teeth and fit them in ,on the way home i started choking and couldn't get them damned things out fast enough, almost ran into the guardrail on the interstate ,swerving all over the place and gagging, i got them out and they never been back in since then !!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: Don

The things aren't ever going to fit if you don't stick them in your head .
Lawdy they aren't going to chomp much steak sitting on top of a dresser or a pickle either .Gumming a pickle would be about like trying to eat a rubber hose .
Now then that morphine sulfate .Once was enough I made a complete fool of myself .Tried to put the make on the dentists assistant ,she was kinda cute ;).Ex wife was miffed for a month over that .I got the hot tongue cold shoulder business for quite some time over that deal.
one of our operators found a set of uppers in a screenings bin one day. he hosed them off and set them on a shelf in the control room as a backup in case i lose mine.
btw i work at a sewage plant

This drunken guy I knew lost his in the porcelon throne once and tried to fish them out of the septic tank once he sobered up about two days later ,with no success .YUck !
Can you imagine fishing a set of false teeth out of the septic tank and see a piece of corn between the front 2 teeth? :D I'd have to through them back. :D :D :D :D :D
They would probably clean up OK.

When younger, I was out having beer(s) with the employees at the park when one of the older guys rushed into the men's room. He had too many those beer(s).
When he returned, he was very upset. Said he tossed his lunch and lost the teeth. But thought he could just flush and the teeth would remain but be in clean water. They didn't. ::) ::) He was not happy. :( :( :(

That was a

My dad says that is one of the good things about getting older. When he is running the garden tiller he don't have to worry about it rattling his teeth as he leaves them on the table. :D
About 30 years ago I had all my wisdom teeth pulled... I told the nurse to save them for me so I could take them home and and stuff them full of candy and watch them ache... The first thing I remember when I was waking up was her putting them in a little envelope and sticking it in my shirt pocket.
I was helping a friend build a glass block light tower on top of a 28 story condo on the beach. During the lunch break another tradesman took his choppers out to eat and set them on the wall. A Sea Gull swooped in and snatched up the top set. We watched him or her fly over the gulf and drop them in the drink. He looked for hours but of course never found them.
My Dad was in the US Navy during WWII. He got gum disease ("trench mouth") and they pulled all his teeth and made him false teeth.
Years later, he was a Southern Baptist preacher, pastoring a country church in north Florida. One Sunday morning, he was in the pulpit, really pouring on the "hell-fire and damnation" when his upper plate came out. It bounced from the top of the pulpit, down onto the offering table and then to the floor, where it came to rest in two pieces.
Dad just stepped down, scooped up the pieces, put them in his suit pocket and kept on preaching...
He got a new set made by the VA dentist in Jacksonville but always said they never fit right.

Can't wait for them to be gone! 5-10 advil today and still aching!
I never took the first pain killer .Then again the most I had jerked out at any one time was 7. The last go round had a wisdom tooth that could have came from a horse .
I could never figure out why they called it wisdom because if it was that smart it wouldn't have grown there in the first place .
You'll be allright in a day or two .Hang in there .Just don't get any bright idea of eating a bunch of peanuts .--Soup ---
Oops miss read it ,you still have the danged things .Well sure fire cure if you can stand it ,mail pouch chewing tobaco. If that's too tough try some Redman or Levi Garret because it's sweet . Mail Pouch is kinda harsh .Might sound stupid but it works .
Woodhauler,when is the big day? I would need to be shot with a bunch of Novocaine. I could not stand that much pain. I know I use to take the Advil too and whatever else too.
Whisky ---
We say (half joking) that our dentist has a wing with my name on it. My teeth are generally good but the cost has been high. I had to have one pulled a couple months ago. This was a tooth that had been repaired with a root canal. Then it needed fixed up again. This time it needed a crown. By this time, most of my teeth had crowns and I expected worry free teeth. Then one day I was eating a BLT and came down on a piece of bacon with that expensive root canal, crowned tooth and it cracked in half! No more fixes. It had to come out and I guess because of the root canal work, the dentist ended up grinding my jaw bone. Didn't hurt then but when the Novocain wore off, gawd was I in pain. I can't imagine having multiple teeth pulled at once.
It's not nearly as a bad as a tooth ache . After about 2-3 days you are fine .
Shoot me :).
I had all my top pulled in one session. They put me out and pulled them
. I think it was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made. No more tooth aches. The pain was no where near as bad as when I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled.
Den, you went through worse with the bone grinding than pulling the whole bunch. Like a said, chewing tobacco.
My Dad, who was born in 1910 made his three score and ten with all of his natural teeth, and he was quite proud. If I make it 5 more months, I will equal his accomplishment. ;D I too will be proud. :)

A lot of it is indeed hereditary .I got my mothers teeth and my fathers gums .Conversely my kids got my teeth and their mothers gums which is good .They also got her shortness .
Can you imagine fishing a set of false teeth out of the septic tank and see a piece of corn between the front 2 teeth? I'd have to through them back. ;D Postonlt40hd that is to funny..I use to work it a waste water plant and we had a call about some ones teeth. About a month later I found them in the plant. Called the lady and told her i had them she asked where were they and I showed her so she desided to get new ones..LOL smiley_airfreshener
I've got a funny tooth story, but if I tell it, my significant other might pop out my god given teeth.
I've been very lucky not to have too many teeth problems other than wisdom teeth, and they put me out to take those in the hospital. I've always hated my teeth, because it is not possible for them to be a nice white. I am what is called a "tetracycline baby". Mothers that were given this as an antibiotic after 4 months of pregnancy, the infants tooth enamel could be permanently stained. Baby teeth, and adult teeth. Mine are not near as bad as a lot I've seen, but not something I'm proud of. There is nothing you can do for it. You can get veneers, at about $1000 a tooth, but they only have a life expectancy of 10-15 years.
I found the blunt reason on-line awhile back why there has been nothing done with this fairly common problem. They banned the use of the stuff for pregnant women and children up to a certain age way back in the early 70's. The real reason they don't find a solution? Because in 25 years or so, the problem will be gone. We'll all have died off.
I did notice a hole forming in the very back tooth on one side. I made an appointment, the first in 7 years. I ended up with just a cleaning, and one tooth fixed. I'm good now for 6 months, as long as Tammy's insurance keeps me covered. :)
I have a friend, Chuck....the guy you saw in the pics helping me saw Pecan logs......well he goes every ten years to have his teeth checked. He went to the Dentist the other day and all that was said about his teeth was that he was using the wrong tooth brush.....he shouldn't be using the stiffer one.
I think the teeth think does have a lot to do with care but also your family tree.
Now in other news: Come on Jeff....tell the story. ;D
We recently had a strange experience with our 3 year old grandson. One of his front teeth turned grey. We were alarmed. Jessica called the dentist and he wasn't alarmed. After a couple weeks, it turned white again. I've got to ask the dentist about that one. It just doesn't seem possible.
Never heard one like that Den. say_what
Got all my original choppers here. Never had a tooth ache in my life. I did have a couple pulled because of crowding and had a spur grow out once and removed. I have had fillings, but those were questionable,as only a dentist can see cavities that even I can't see in an X-ray. :D I was also told I was not going to have wisdom teeth grow in. Well, that wasn't true and I still have them. Far better to have the originals and healthier, just gotta take care of'm. 8)
As far as the family tree, they all had them removed because no one looked after them or could afford a dentist visit.
Well i got my 2 lowerwisdom teeth and the one in front of them pulled on both sides today! The ones in front of my wisdom teeth was causing all my pain ! Now its back in a month or so to have them all yanked!
I feel your pain, Woodhauler. Hope you heal up quickly.
;D Woodhauler, I've been told this story by my brother-in-law about his younger brother working at a funeral home. I just put it to memory, but certainly would not promote it as the truth. But having said that. ;) His brother had all of his teeth pulled, and had picked himself out some dentures from many in a box that the funeral home had. yikes_smiley
Just saying, if ya know somebody, its an option. :D :D
Jeff that is so bad,even beyond bad.
I had a couple teeth that was hurting me so bad,when they was gone I felt better the next day.

Jeff! smiley_speechless
has anybody gotten the teeth implants they have now instead of dentures?
Honest to god, that's the story he tells me. I've never had a good place I could tell about it before. :D No offense intended you at all Woodhauler. I just think the story is a riot, and just wanted to jibe Woodhauler a little for fun. :)
I use to work at a place with long ovens that we would have to feed carpet sheets,about 6-7 feet wide by 10-12 feet long. They would go into a preheat section than the main oven and than the press section. This guy was feeding sheets into it and just as the machine indexed the sheet into preheat he sneezed and his teeth landed on the sheet and went into the oven. He comes down front just a hollering about his teeth and finally slowed down enough so we knew what he meant. The machine was put in manual and emptied out and all was good.
Same guy,going thorugh the city,4 lanes,35mph on a motorcycle. Yep,sneezed again and out comes his teeth. He got them,dodging traffic and all. This is the same guy that had a fire at his house twice.
One guy had a glass eye and lost that down the toilet as he was flushing it. ::) Even took a collection up to help pay for it. ::) I did read the thank you card and his wife said thank you for seeing us through this.
Quotethank you for seeing us through this
:D :D :D
I knew an old fella who when stationed in Europe during WWII had all his teeth removed. And he said they broke his jaw more than once doing it, so I assume he had several teeth pulling sessions. Anyway, he had three sets of falsies and couldn't wear any of'm. My uncle couldn't wear uppers. It was hard enough to get him to wear his glasses. Couldn't see up close, but he wouldn't wear'm and then always was looking for them. That's what life is like when your contrary. :D
Novacane is wearing off now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going to see if i can make it on ibueprofrin! Don't want to take the wack a doo pills they gave me if i can help it!

You know Jeff, the only way the funeral dentures story could be any worse,if the BIL told the story at Thanksgiving dinner. :o
I think it was either Christmas or my Uncle's funeral. ;)
Worse. :D
That's it,I've had it.
This thread has been moved to the Woodshed.
That is unbelievable or just plain numb. I believe you,so this only leaves one thing. ::) :D
It just gets worser and worser with each post.
My grandfather was quite a character at times. At Halloween it was about the only time you'd see molasses kisses. Well grandfather would give the old fella without the teeth, mentioned above, a bag full and get a chuckle watch'n him try to eat'm. Well, the old fella was quite talkative as always, and trying to eat that candy at the same time was quite the scene. :D
I worked with a guy that would pull his plate out of his mouth after lunch and clean the gum side with his baby finger.Made it hard to keep our lunch down steve_smiley
Haven't been on in a few days so just discovered this.\ thread
A molar really started hurting bad on Saturday.
Called my dentist Sat PM and he saw me on Sunday!
Going for the dreaded root canal this afternoon.
Had one about 5 years ago cost $400 it is now $1150 double ouch!
Ya over the years I had teeth bother me, I just pull them out , just make sure you use a paper towel over the tooth when useing a pair of pliers so you don't chip the tooth :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
