I guess this recession has hit everyone hard, eh? ;-)<BR/>~~~<BR/>Sherri, It would actually be cheaper to fly to the US and go to Mexico for dental treatment! Next time, I'll fly over, come stay with you and we can just go to Mexico for the day!<BR/>I've got several friends who regularly head down for their eye exams, glasses, prescriptions and dental work. But mainly, I just want to see you! ;-)<BR/>~~~<BR/>Irene, I was there, remember? ;-) No, Dr Maren is on Drummond Street... and oh my... he's GOOD!<BR/>~~~<BR/>Kurichan, I didn't expect anything more from you... ROFLMAO!<BR/>Noodle in my hole noodle in my home noodle in my hole... ;-) Tell me again, how old ARE we??<BR/>~~~<BR/>Marilyn, Wow! Isn't it sad that it's gotten so darned expensive? The good part of mine is that the root on the right side may well have had something to do with the reoccurring sinus infections, so if this cures both problems, I'll be as happy as a clam!!<BR/>~~~<BR/>Staci, Isn't it weird? Not that I know anything about manicurists, since I still bite my finger nails...;-) Shhhhhh...<BR/>~~~<BR/>Jientje, It's better than staring at some ugly guy with hair coming out his nose, so yes... Eye Candy does make a bad situation just a little more bearable. ;-)<BR/>~~~<BR/>Paula, Thanks darlin'.

The bit about the conversation just totally cracked me up, but when I got to the part about maintaining gum integrity, I just completely lost it. :-) Oh man, I need to go lay down for a while and recover.

All I have to do is ask the old guy for "implants". ;-)<BR/>Yeah, a proctologist would be even worse Can you imagine a Dr going home, and the wife/husband saying, "Did you see any a$$holes today, dear?" SNORT!! <BR/>I actually have a friend from medical school, who specialized in proctology... but nowadays, they prefer to call themselves "colorectal surgeons".<BR/>Which means that no one gets the joke "Kiss my Proktos" any more.<BR/>~~~<BR/>SassyDog,<BR/>No, no stitches. What? You wanted me to take out a second mortgage?? Can you imagine the cost if they added 2 inches of surgical thread to the bill? <BR/>The teabags DO work a treat though... ;-)Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6193865144146302051.post-36939319221566677282009-03-18T20:00:00.000-07:002009-03-18T20:00:00.000-07:00You mean he didn't stitch up the holes, my dentist...You mean he didn't stitch up the holes, my dentist did and it helped with the bleeding along with teabags.

Who cares, I'm gonna tell ya anyway.<BR/>The 2 times I went to Hawaii, I had a dental emergency (yeah both times)the day before we left...now this is the really funny part...the second time I had an abcessed molar. My dentist decided to pull the tooth, because he said...okay are you ready for this?...are you?...he said that my mouth was too small for him to be able to do a root canal!<BR/>Geeeeesh - you don't have to laugh that hard!<BR/>Maybe if he had just had some Crisco, he could have slid all those instruments of torture back far enough to do the job.<BR/>(By-the-way. going to Hawaii didn't really have anything to do with the story.

I TRULY think it's criminal that we have to choose between having teeth and not having teeth because of the outrageous cost.<BR/><BR/>We have dental insurance but no so you'd notice. It barely covers much of anything. Why do teeth fall into the "hardly covered" category? Don't we need them?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're feeling better and you write GREAT dental conversation. That's EXACTLY how it sounds and I think I even understood some of it. <BR/><BR/>And I'm with you....frankly I can't think of any I'd rather do LESS than poke around in someone's stinky mouth. I can always smell bad breath from six feet away as it is. (Because I never HAVE bad breath.......HACK......cough.)<BR/><BR/>Glad that all your years of abstinence have at least yielded healthy gums!
