temporary crown... creeping me out

I got a temporary crown put on a tooth today. Man, I can't stop fucking with it with my tongue. It's creeping me out.

That was the first time I've been to the dentist in about 10 yrs. It's gonna be 7k to get me current. I've got a mess to clean up. Fuck.
My girl has even more work to get done. We will know the full damage in a couple weeks. Fuck.. Anything I make over this year beyond bills is going to her mouth... A wise investment though! + interest ... haha.

The drill noise... the tooth smell... the light.. I fucking HATE the dentist. Worst place on earth.

I'm going to go with the N20 next visit. Just for fun. It's only $80. I wanted to crack a joke... "$80... how late are you guys open on the weekends?"

I know exactly where you are coming from with regard to the cost of dental work. I have two broken crowns and a cracked bridge. I'm looking at $6K plus! Dental insurance is a joke. Covers almost nothing.

had a tooth pulled and replaced with a fake one years ago (thanks narcotics) .. dr never tell you opiate usage can cause tooth loss and it took me ages to stop messing with it..

Last time I went to the dentist I got on the N20, hadn't ever tried the shit before cause my local dentist is a bit behind the times and just got it. Started feeling a bit loopy. Then the cocksucker sticks the sucker tube thing too far back in my mouth, and the combination of the two somehow led me to immediately vomit all over myself. Fun times.

Ah man... that's awful. I was worried about that. My gag reflex is 10x worse in the morning... At night I can do a serious tooth brushing but in the morning,, I'll throw up occasionally just getting my molars.

That's fucked though. I guess my day wasn't so bad... I didn't vomit all over myself.

N20 makes a lot of people vomit, that's why it's not used too commonly here in Canada. Also, someone needs to remain in the room at all times...just incase the patient tries to monkey with the valves and kills themselves by accident. BTW, paying for private dental insurance is almost never worth it.

Most dental offices offer oral sedation if you ask ahead of time, you just need to be driven too and picked up from your appointment.

Before and after pics? Wifey has a friend that is plenty goodlooking with all the right curves except she had a grill that looked like it was made of chiclets,probably shoot peanuts between the gaps! Anyway she had a full dental job and WOW!! Never realized how much a great smile can improve ones looks AND confidence ..

Yeah.. my girl got it... she has crazy dentist anxiety..
It's a conscious sedation... they gave her pills over an hour period and she remembered and felt nothing. It was $380 for the sedation.

Yeah, for real.
Her stuff wasn't something you could really see. The same shit I had but worse. Cavities on molars.. only one of mine required a root canal. She needed 3 already. Might need more. An emergency/pain visit (her) is what started this dentist thing... that visit was 3 root canals and the sedation. $$$$. After an exam we'll know more.
We were just too broke to do it in the past. Put it off too long, busy, fucking terrified... lame excuses like that.

I realized after I posted... must sound like we're sittin' on the stoop, pluckin a banjo with 4 teeth hangin' out.
It's not like that.. haha. A couple more years though.. we'd be dueling banjos for sure.

Hmmm. This was probably Random Jib Jab material..
