    32 teeth per human head.
    7 billion humans.

    $1,000 per tooth, over it’s lifespan - you do the math.

    I got my passport renewed, thought about Mexico but am troubled by recent travel advisories. Grew up in So Cal and l love Mexican culture but don't like the idea of being kidnapped, held for ransom especially since there is no one to pay it.

    Kuala Lumpur and Vietnam are high on my list. $2500 monthly budget should let me live the life of an American gentleman abroad, no?

    I have one implant, upper molar. To save its friend next to it. They pulled the molar, injected some goo, then waited 6 months for the goo to attach to the bone around it.

    Cut the gum open, inserted a helicol , basically. Waited a month for that to heal, then pop a fake tooth on.

    About $1k all up.

    The dental implant technology is amazing now. But not cheap.

    Best thing I did was start going for regular 6 month cleanings, get fillings where needed, flossing and brushing twice a day, and quit eating unnecessary sugar.

    One bad experience with a sh***y dentist when I was 18 left me not seeking dental health care until 30. But by that time it took a lot of time to walk it back.

    While my body could still heal quickly.

    In NZ, in grade school, they had - the ‘murder house’ , a dental nurse that would clean kids teeth and adress cavities.

    When they called your name *shudders*

    The 21.5 hour flying time from Dallas (not to mention whatever the fare is!) makes Cancun look a little more inviting.

    Teeth are good. I’m only interested in getting lost on a bicycle. It’s one of the highest rated cyclotourist destinations on the planet.

    I PM'D you a dentist that brought my gum pocket depths from 7 to 3. No hygienist, she does the cleaning herself with compressed air. Truck parking in back.

    Sounds like my exprince when i was a teen. Had one of my wisdom teeth come in funny and cause a lot of pain. Went in to get it pulled and they decided to do all 4. Dentist came in after a nurse numbed my gums a bit with that gel. Then instead of giving me a shot like i was expecting went to start yanking one that had NOT been numbed and ignored me when i tried to stop him. Then before i could slap him away starting yanking hard side to side and ripped it out. Then when i lost my #### at him had the gaull to tell me to shut up and man up. I got up and ####ing left.

    Took me almost 20 years before i was willing to go back and that only because i was in agony over a broken tooth. Hell i broke my arm and pushed the bone through the skin and THAT was less painful then this idiot ripping a tooth out. The entire left side of my face swelled up and brused so bad i looked like i had a shiner for a month. Only comfort is moron lost his licnese since he had multiple complaints for the same thing.

    Seems like a hot spot to go get implants, is Turkey. My neighbor got a couple implants, and they only charged her five hundred bucks each.
