If you can't laugh what can you do? Don't look back anyway - like a youtube channel taught me tonight -you certainly are never going to get yesterday back. Harsh but very true.

Oh I dunno? I can laugh about this stuff now, but looking back I always wonder if I could've done things differently, I didn't obviously. But I always tried to stay out of trouble, it just liked me so much it followed me around, the b*stard….
I used to have an attractive lady dentist, when she was working on my teeth when she bent over to work on the far side of my mouth i could see her cleavage. Even that didn't help with the pain. I was devastated when she got married and left.
I've had my tooth extracted today and blimey what job it was for my dentist. It broke when he was trying to remove it. the top part of the tooth just completely broke away. This left the root part of the tooth buried in my gums. He had to cut the gums and the bone to get to the root. He had to do this several times. The problem was I had 3 roots on the tooth instead of just 2 and they had curved around each other in like an s-bend and the roots didn't want to budge. The dentist said it put up real fight when he got the last of the roots out, could tell he was relieved. Makes you understand why dentists aren't so cheap. I've got stich's in my gums now and I've felt like my head has been hit by a train and been really groggy most of the day, a bit like a good hang-over, but I think I'm on the mend.
Thats exactly what happened to me Spec-chum and why it cost me $600 and from the odd twinge I'm still not convinced he got every last bit out. It hurt like a **** while he was chopping away down into the jawbone and I had at least 4 injections of local and it didnt do much to stop the pain.

I'm sure that was quite painful for you Mike I would of been quite a difficult patient if that was me. I must be a lucky sod because after 3 locals I could hardly feel a thing. Only felt when the tooth was twisted to its extremes and could feel the tension of that, but no pain.
I remember when I was about 9 years old I had to have my incisors removed as the adult teeth were going to impact them before they came out on their own or something horrible like that. Now my dentist when I was a kid would always give me the gas mask, as far as I know they no longer use Nitrous, as lots of people die from it. But anyway when the dentist was removing them it didn't hurt as such, but I could feel every pull and yank, and hear every crunch inside my head, and it was super loud. It was really f*cking weird.
Afterwards I didn't get stitches, as obviously the holes needed to stay open, but I suppose during the procedure, and afterwards I swallowed so much blood I felt awful.
Went to the local Youth club to see my mates, and I remember it was the one I was too young to go to, so I rode there on my bike, and was going to wait for my older friends to come out. I never even made it to where they opened the doors up, I felt so rough I went back home. I have no idea if it was the aftermath of the gas, as this was the longest time I was ever exposed to it, or if it was the blood in my stomach, or if it was the shock to my system.
But I ended up puking thick reddish brown tar like puke about an hour after I got home, and ended up spending 2 or 3 days off school afterwards, because my head was wobbly as f*ck, and my belly was doing backflips.
Was not a fun time.
At least I vaguely remember my best mate knocking on my door at about 9pm that night to make sure I was OK, as I'd said I'd meet him and a few others at the youth club, but never showed up. My ma set him straight I suppose, I wasn't getting up to go down to the door that night.
I had a similar experience as a kid to you Boozy: overcrowding, gas, extractions, weird sh!t... :(
Been very luck with my teeth every since - only a couple of fillings decades ago and very rarely see a dentist as every time I get a checkup they marvel at what good health I'm in. Shame they're only talking about the teeth! :D
My parents retired to Canada 20 years ago and it seems like every couple of years they're paying literally thousands of dollars on repair/rebuilding/crowns,root canals etc. @-)
I reckon only about 10 percent of what's left in their mouths is original! I ask them what's the point, just have dentures like most (British) people from their generation. But they'd rather spend a fortune to keep "their own" teeth... 8-|
