Dental ouch-ie

[CERuppel]

AC and myself had a dental appt today. After two hours of ripping and tearing on our faces the dentist (torturer?) told me to get AC to a pharmacy; NOW.

Seems that she is halfway thru a root canal that won't be finished for another week. Even after the T-3's and the Oral-Gel she is still in pain. And guess who is the closest target??? (Hint; look for the bruises).

Anyway just thought I would get my last word and testament out to the net before...

Got to go, but does anyone have any experience with HAP? If so, please let me know, as they just gave us the shaft here in Oakland County.

What's HAP?

I got through dental abcess & the attending root canal with a simple exercise.

Step 1. Un-cap a bottle of Smirnoff 100 proof.
Step 2. Apply liberally to the affected area.
Step 3. Spit out or swallow depending on how you feel at the moment.
Step 4. Go to step one

I'm not kiddin' either. Codine didn't do the trick.

At work they won't let me have vodka, btw so I soaked it liberally in blue Listerine (only about 42 proof, so you gotta use more & you can't swallow it.)

Ahhh Blue Smirnoff---nectar of the gods and natures cure-all...
(With moderation of course)
I recommend REGULAR checkups after the torture is over...

HAP = Health Alliance Plan (An HMO I got thru work).

Our dental is thru Delta and now that it is both in place and WORKING (Long story) we are finally getting out teeth caught up.

So the Yin-Yang balance of life of course cuts our medical. HAP just dropped several of the area hospitols (all the ones that aren't stuck up rich mans hospitols). They even dropped the county ememrgency hospitols and the ones handleing the county medical plan (which is HAP).

As for the four step plan... (Hic-cup) LOL

Thank goodness, while the dentist was working, I had enough novicaine and Nitrious Oxide to darn near knock me out! Wheeeeeeee!

Well, I just got a tooth pulled last week, it broke and they had to drill and grind it out.. The pain pills lasted me for about a day, what a joke. But it's better now, my point is AC, hang in there it'll get better

I was fine before I read this thread. Now my teeth hurt.

Due to the indescretions of my youth, I'm now on a first name basis with my dentist, who just bought a big-screen TV and named it after me.

I don't feel your pain, but I have, and I will again soon. Only about $2000 to go before they give up and yank 'em all.

There are damn few things I wouldn't do rather than go to a dentist. The last time I was at one, he started poking my gums with this really sharp-pointed instrument and then says, "Oh, your gums are really bleeding."

"Ya think?? Let me poke your sorry butt with that thing and see if you bleed!!"

Grrr. I hate dentists.
