    I didn't read mine, but learning it should be read after heart stents, but then again maybe I really needed one of them.
    Many of my top teeth were caps, bridge so I told him just pull them all but still have mu natural bottom teeth. Thats what I got for going to a 'back alley' dentist with great dental insurance.

    Mary my eyes were just about as bad. Should've found a druggist with leeches, oh that's right no mo0re of them. Leech will suck that old black blood right out of a black eye, probably a neck too.

    My last dental appointment charged $505.00, to pull an abscess tooth. After taking extra bp meds, I was 248/158/130 pulse; thought that I would die when he started pulling the tooth; but was scared if I said something; he may not pull it so, I stayed quiet. and suffered thru. :eek: The reason I did this is because; I had put it off for about a year, and I suffered with it. I started feeling like it was affecting my heart, so it had to go. The one at my dental office, while she is cleaning my teeth, "said", this tooth from being drilled to deep, is abscessed, and needs to be pulled, or root canal. Not happening, I said. When she was thru cleaning, I asked her if you say that tooth was drilled too deep, and caused the abscess? She said yes; I told her y'all did it here. :rolleyes: She said, "oh no", I'm not saying that. :confused: It's all about the money. o_O

    An abscess is no joke. When I was in elementary school I had a cavity. My mom took me to the dentist and I refused to let it be pulled when I saw the needle. That tooth abscessed. I still cried when I had to go back. Ice cream didn't make me feel any better either. :(

    After that experience I eventually learned to 'suck it up.'
