Well...I chipped the front tooth in half.
Dentist did a root canal and put a temporary cap on.
Years later when teeth fully grown, I got a crown.
A year later, I had a massive abcess and infection. Had to have another retrograde root canal, this time from the top and they had to pack it.

My old dentist was a money hungry crook. I went from having multiple cavities per year to 2 cavities in the last 5-6 yrs when I switched. He did drive a nice Lexus, and I'm sure he was making almost as much as any doc. I guess he had no trouble finding with finding enough work.

while my brother and I were in college, our family's dentist wanted to yank out all my wisdom teeth, all my brother's, do some root canal and crown work on my dad, and something to my mom....... I forget.

anyway, my dad figured he was trying to buy a new boat off of our family alone.

(my wisdom teeth didn't come in for another 5 years and I had 2 of them taken out then by my current dentist.)

Hmm....you lose sight instantaneously but regain it, and the pain likewise comes and goes very quickly. You feel swollen for a while though.

It looks so much worse than it feels, at least that is what I am gathering from the above.

I had to beg him to never EVER mention that to my parents. 😛

Yeah, I remember the days at cocoa and melbourne. All my girls would pile into the car and head out for the day. I like jax though, I am like five minutes from the beach! You don't have to make a whole day of it that way.

Oh...and all her pics of myspace were of her being "sexy" or trying to at least. She had one of her tongue ring and the comment below was explaining why she had said tongue ring. Eww! Sorry, just not my thing. No offense to any lesby's in here.

Noooooooooo... you have to take back Celine, but we'll keep Bryan Adams. And the McKenzie brothers.
Click to expand...

I think Celine really likes it down there though. She's signed on for how many shows? I was actually in the states this weekend and there was a boater who just had it blasting on their sound system :barf:

Bryan Adams I could take or leave...but the McKenzie brothers stay here. You can have Dan Ackroyd instead
