tooth ache

Ath long ath you're not talking like thith and not drooling into your shirtpocket, you'll be fine. Of course, you could get an infection that will swell your face up the size of a basketball and you'll have to be hospitalized in intensive care with all kinds of tubes and needles sticking out of your body so you can't move and have to have a catheter and bedpan and......nah, probably won't happen!

P.S. Do I still get the coffee?

 

That's too bad, Swaps. But sometimes you just have to do what has to be done to "get by." FWIW, my teeth hurt just thinking about you!

 

Dentistry - what a racket. Every procedure is priced so astronomically high it is horrendous and other than a routine "cleaning" dental insurance does little.

It is pretty amusing that dentists supposedly have the highest suicide rate among white collar professionals - I've read reasons ranging from "they can't repo dental work" to being the least respected of medical/health professionals (i.e. not actually a Dr.).

I say F them - they couldn't make it in medical school and become a legit MD.

 

Well I'm not a dentist, but my daughter in law is. First she went to med school and became an MD, then went to Dental School and became a DMD. Specializes in dental trama...smashed faces from accidents, reconstructing jaws, etc.
Says Dental School was half again as hard as Med School.

 

I see your point - but would still consider your daughter in law a MD who specializes in the teeth and mandible.

My comment was meant to be derogatory towards general dentistry.
