today. Had to have two teeth pulled this morning and I'm now feeling the effects of it. Wasn't made to take care of my teeth as a kid and didn't really start taking care of them like I should until I was in my 40s. I brushed but didn't go to the Dentist like I should of. As a kid I had all but one wisdom teeth pulled. The last one went today along wih one I had worked on in the 80s next to it. As I get older It amazes me at the amount of physical ailments we have.

Had a good weekend though,  and saw what I believe is a snowco trailer at a house that was forclosed on. Wish I could of found out more on it. Looked like a nice trailer.  Saw a couple of nice old Pwer King tractors and a old Simplicity.  Time to take a nap.  Have a good day.                                         Roger.

I didn't take care of my teeth as a youngun either, and all were gone by 37yrs old.  NO trips to the dentist now though, so it's not all bad!   I remember how that felt though, so hope you're back to normal soon.

Roger, I hope you feel better after your nap.  If possible, YOU have a good day.  Good luck on the tractor, I have a feeling you'll be back by to check on it.

I will feel your pain tomorrow. I have a temporary plastic tooth right now, gt my permanent crown at 9 am tomorrow. 

I get my teeth problems from my parents. Mom had all hers gone by 30 yrs old, dad had his uppers all pulled by the time he was 4o, seems genetic issues with soft teeth.

Roger I hope you had a good nap and you get to feeling better.

4 years ago I got a bad infection in my gums and was having an abcess every couple of days. It was killing me and I was going through a quart of whiskey every couple of days because my insurance wouldn't cover dental. For some reason there was a change to my coverage and I went to a dentist and she sent me to an oral surgeon. I left with 8 teeth.

 

The next day my gums turned green and I was in agony. Went to the ER and they said I just had dry socket. I told told them it was worse than that. A doc finally came ina nd looked in my mouth and actually gagged. I have never seen an ER doc gag before. They gave me a massive dose of antibiotics and something for pain. I woke up a day later feeling much better.

 

Oddly enough a week later my insurance dropped the dental coverage. I still dont have teeth but I dont have any pain.

I just had one pulled last week and now one side of my jaw has every other tooth missing and now I'm starting to look like I act.

 

I am friends with my dentist and he upgraded my last two crowns to gold since he borrowed my tractor.

When I was in the military, we had to have annual check ups.  One of my friends had a complete set of dentures that the military had made for him.  The following year they insisted he come in for his annual check up.  Eventually our chief ordered him to go.  He sent them his dentures in the intra-base mail.  Not sure which caused more grief.

Every year for the past 5-6years I have had to have a crown put on a tooth.

$850 each time....I asked my dentist what annual payment he had that I was paying for him!

Have a tempoary in now and will get the real deal on the 28th of July.

[IamSherwood]

I hope you're feeling better soon Roger.

Certainly not fun having to deal with that pain.

Go easy Roger and relief will come sooner. Hope your feeling better tomorrow.
