I should have all 5 kids home this Christmas!!! (Only had 4 last year) It has been about a year and a half since the eldest had been home. He will be here for 2 weeks. I am excited.

Also... I have a tooth ache. I keep hoping I am imagining it. It is that blasted crown. I had it redone, in September??? It was great until now, and now it hurts. Just WHYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Stupid, stupid tooth.

Part of the issue is at the one place I love the dental hygienist, but dislike the dentist.

At the other place I would very much like to never lay eyes on the dental hygienist, and try hard to make sure she doesn't see me.... but I think that dentist is more competent and he also has all of the good drugs. I will never again have that crown worked on without all of the drugs.

@Alaskan I have had 4 crowns - all ended up eventually becoming root canals. After 12+ years 2 abscessed and were pulled. A third is in the process of 'breaking down'. The fourth is recent, and so far so good. I now have two gaps and will soon have a third. NO I am not getting implants. Partly because I am too old but mostly because I do not like pain.

Truthfully I am happy with my dentures most here do not know I have them. The denturist I went to is now retired he sure made mine fit.
Been dropping cookies to friends and neighbors.

In my experience, implants are no more painful than a root canal or extraction maybe even less

You old?? Never
