One of my biggest fears...

snake… oh the horror… I feel your pain. I'm afraid that, just like nose hairs & dingleberries, dental extraction topics may be too taboo a topic for this forum. To all of you with 32 or more teeth… I Salute You!!

Before my first deployment, I had an Army Doc pull out every, single one of my teeth. They wouldn't even knock me out because the hospital was across the street and they did not want to have to wheel me back and forth. So they jammed a needle in my gums and made me sit there for two hours while they pulled em all out. It hurt...a lot. I remember the Doc saying "I know what you're going through." BS I thought...you still have your teeth! Needless to say, I ate a lot of smoothies and Spam my first few months in Iraq. Guess the bright side is there is nothing left for the dentist to pull

Bring back Lord Ripon, indeed! I think the loss of teeth is a sooner or later issue for most… I paid $85 to have this tooth pulled so maybe you got a good deal?? So that makes you both my BOTL and my BOLT? (bro of lost teeth??)… I think a celebration is in order, lol!

Puff! Another BOLT! I'm also a grinder… it's my Achilles' heel. The worse part is when I get bouts of TMJ… headaches, neck pain, ear aches, jaw pain. Cigars and a cocktail are better than any Motrin or Advil, that's for sure.
