When you get in the chair just grab his nuts and say "Now we're not going to hurt each other are we"

I guess I'm just thinking the worst. I'm hoping to get it all done by september. Whatever they can't get done before then will have to be put off for a couple years.

Yeah, once I get all this done I plan on getting them checked/cleaned whenever needed...even though it'll come out of my own pocket. Well, as long as they do a monthly payment plan.

It's a guy in a white jacket looking at your teeth. Stop being a pussy and save your teeth. Also, stop the tobacco. Girls don't dig that. Plus you'll live longer. Pussy.

This has been Tough Love with Vanilla Thunder. I'm not insulting you...I'm loving you...loving you toughly.

If you haven't been to the Dentist in six years you are going to have cavities up the ass. The cleaning and all that stuff they do in your six month checkups that most people get is gunk you can't get off your teeth by brushing. And if you don't floss regularly, it's going to be even worse. If you have a dental plan, chances are they will cover 2 check ups a year for a minimal cost to you. Take advantage of it unless you want to look like this guy

6 years?? good lord...

I am past my 6 months its been about 10 now, i need to schedule an appt

Eat a bunch of garlic before you go. It helps the cavities stand out and make it easier to see for the dentist.

I don't like those fukers.

I'm not allowed back at the only oral surgeon in Jeff. And if you live in Jeff you know who I'm talking about. Don't go there. The ****er hires illegal Russians to apply the anesthesia.

It just so happens they're hot chix he's found on interweb dating sites who have NO ****ING CLUE HOW TO KNOCK A MOTHER****ER OUT!

I do though...

Well, I can speak professionally on this, but with the caveat of course that everyone is different and I dont know your specific patient info. so here is the best I can do. The blue you see from the tooth could be from a silver filling in the tooth showing through. If you see one in the top of the tooth it is very possible. Ask him to prescribe 10 mg valium for your appt. It is antianxiolytic and will turn the phobia down a few notches. Dont let him put anything silver colored in the teeth as far as restorative materials go. If it has been 6 years, you more than likely need periodontal treatment rather than a standard cleaning. If the dentist does the cleaning, and not a dental hygienist, find a different office. I never schedule patients with a cleaning the same day as a new patient consult for that very reason. If a cavity is larger than about 1/3 the width of the tooth, it should have a crown. They typically run anywhere from $750 to $1000 and insurance may pay up to 60%. Hope that helps.

Yep, just as I thought.

I have to have all four wisdom teeth pulled and some cavities fixed. Atleast I don't have to have a root canal. The dentist said I could get two done at a time and he would do it or all four at the same time (said he'd have to recommend me to a oral surgeon for that). Getting all four done by an oral surgeon will cost twice as much. My insurance is BA and is 80/20.

What would you do? Get them all done at once with a lot more cost or two at a time.

I'd love to get them done all at once but have to find out prices.

Anybody know price ranges for it?

My azz. The douche I went to gave me six pills. He told me to take 4 when I went to bed and 2 when I got up.

Ok. For comparison, find a guy that absolutely hates spiders. Just can't ****ing stand them. Then give him 6 valiums and tell him you're going to stick a spider in his mouth.

Yeah, won't happen...

I learned a valuable lesson at age 21 when I neglected my teeth and had 5 cavity's that had to be filled. ever since then I've gone every 6 months religiously for a cleaning and a check up. I haven't had a cavity in over 22 years. another hint, if you floss every day the cleaning doesn't hurt as much either. my wisdom teeth got pulled 2 at a time. make sure you go to a very good oral surgeon if they're impacted. don't go to a butcher!

Oh, and I've had it all. I've had all of my wisdom teeth removed, one moler removed (cracked under gum line), and two root canals. but the worst pain I've ever felt was getting a ****ing crown done on my other back moler. the ****ing dentist was drilling that ****ing tooth for almost 3 hours. he turned this gigantic moler into a little doberman tooth. that hurt worse than any extraction or root canal. and make sure you request FULL JUICE for maximum relaxation and pain relief!

Good luck young fella!
