Solonor's Ink Well
February 18, 2008
Let me ask you something! Does this scare you? Would you like if I took this and headed right for your damn incisors?
So, my plan to bankrupt American dentistry by not using their services has finally come to an end after 41 years. I woke up Saturday morning with an horrendous toothache, and after a weekend of drug-induced stupor (as opposed to Jack Daniels-induced stupor), I went in to see what they recommend I do.
As I suspected, it was something along the lines of "hand me all your money, and I'll make it stop hurting" (I think I heard him mutter "eventually" under his breath).
Tomorrow I get to call and make an appointment for Orin Scrivello, DDS, to yank out my toof.
They puttin' you out with gas? Since I know how much you love them needles... and no needle, no novacaine. Yeowch!
Ouch! I feel your pain. I had several teeth pulled when I was younger, and I'm 2 for 2 on cavities in my most recent dentist visits. Bastards.
I, too, avoided for a VERY long time. The Jack Daniels trick helped me out one holiday weekend, too...
Know what? Root canals are good -- they get RID of the pain, if you have one. Tooth yanking passes quickly, too.
Get the gas. Always get the gas. Seriously...get the gas.
Dood, you need your toofs.
Brush twice daily, floss, have Dr. Demento clean them every six months and you'll be good to go.
KEEP YOUR TEEF.
Avoiding check-ups doesn't prevent disease. As the late Warren Zevon said, ''I might have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years."
Thank you, comment spammers. Thank you to hell.
