Right? When I saw the x-ray I was AMAZED at how big of a chunk had been left in my mouth. It completely explains why I could be walking around one minute and the next I was on my knees writhing in pain.

The infection was very small and they just cleaned it out. No dry socket... the clot is nice and gooey in the hole there.

Had my chompers cleaned and checked yesterday, and got a 100%. Yay me...

I just had a wisdom tooth pulled (#1) only 31 years after the other three were removed. Still numb from the procedure but it seemed to go quite easily and well. Hats off to my oral surgeon. Too bad my leg sweat was all over his table after I got up. Hard to believe I was so nervous lol.

Flossing everyday is the key for me.

Yes, yes it is. I ALWAYS have a bag of flossers sitting around. Office, man-chair, all bathrooms, cars, truck, motorcycle, you name it. Eat then floss, it's a good thing..

But, bite into an olive from your martini (like I did last year), and BOOM, the dentist is making some cash! LOL, that SUCKED!

Yeah holiday time is always bad for broken teeth

Peanut brittle, candy etc. will do some damage

O.City did you see the story about Goldberg from Mighty Ducks? Apparently he is almost a year drug free but had to get all new teeth bc of meth.

You ever have to do dental work with a scope that big/bad?

Like full mouth rehab meth mouth etc? Yeah, in my rural office pretty regularly.

I took out 26 teeth and delivered a set of dentures to a guy who got off the sauce just a week ago.

I don't know how to upload images. Someone walk me thru that and I can show you guys some pictures.

I prefer to upload them to imgur.com and then right click - copy the image location then post it here with img tags.

Had to edit some stuff out of it, but there's a meth mouth we saw a bit ago

Any idea how long it took for this to happen?

Well he was about 22 years old so not to awful long

Do most people cop to meth use when they show up like this? Also... how the **** was this guy eating without collapsing from pain?
