So I had some tooth pain over the weekend and went to the dentist this morning. Turns out had an abscess and needed a root canal. Wow that hurts your mouth and wallet! Anyways I'm off to rest and take some 800mg Ibuprofen.
Yeah - I had them just pull mine. Cost $38

Pull that bitch and go for the hockey player look.
Instead of getting a root canal, have an implant.

How close is “near the front”? I had one that was near the front that was bothering me. My aunt works at my dentist and tried to convince me that it was too close to the front and to have a root canal instead of having it pulled. When I told her I’d rather scatter my brains across the parking lot than wait another week to have that tooth worked on, we pulled it.

One of my front teeth had an abscessed on it. Got that bitch pulled and now the pressure I was feelin in my sinuses went away also.
I was gonna get an implant then about choked when they told me how much. Still 400 later I got a partial
Same here, on the right. I get me toof in two weeks. I noticed and lanced the abscess 9/2017 from a root canal job 25 years ago.

You make me sad... I dinna wanna hear this.So a few grands later, got me a new tooth. 3 years later, bone loss around the implant discovered. So the implant had to be pulled.
Didn't mean to scare you. It was just my bad luck and some wired things going on in my mouth. I'm still in the process to figure out.You make me sad... I dinna wanna hear this.
So we can get our crowns from you and cut out the middle man? lol ( if it only worked like that)Good Lord, y'all get screwed hard on price. You don't even want to know how littler we charge dentists for things like flippers, crowns, partials, etc. Suffice it to say there are double and triple digit mark ups.
Not crowns (I'm not the crown guy anyway), but in some states you can go directly to a tech and get a partial/denture made. NC ain't one.So we can get our crowns from you and cut out the middle man? lol ( if it only worked like that)

They only gave me a local, and it only hurt my wallet. The hardest part was being able to picture what was happening, drill, installing the stud with a mini torque wrench & feeling it bind & pop. You can see the hollow Ti stud, the gum holding tooth base, and the small screw holding it in.Legit question..how bad did it the implant hurt? I mean, drilling, tapping the jaw bone for a stud just screams "Let me sit on a spike naked instead"

I just consider the body an intricate machine... and the more I hold still, the sooner it'll be over.That's what I"m saying, lol I'm always drilling/milling/tapping on my machine and the though of my head being where the work piece is and what's happening makes me just bonkers
Premise is right. Our charge to patients for acrylic partials and full dentures start at $150. Be careful, shop around, there are snakes out there.So we can get our crowns from you and cut out the middle man? lol ( if it only worked like that)
I needed three after having three removed three years ago. Bought a used truck with the money instead.Dang, just walked out the dentist office and the trying to convince me to put in an implant...
