"Nice tooth".
I was reminded of this erroneous slight of us here in the mountain state when I went to the dentist day before yesterday with a five alarm tooth ache. Second one extracted since I moved here. Maybe it's the water.
How much Doc? I have no dental insurance. Fifteen hundred root canal and cap, One seventy seven fifty extraction. Pull it Doc!!!
First one about five years ago came out easy. This one not so. Doc rocked back and forth over and over, lots of sounds going through my head. Finally....crack. Half my tooth fell off his tongs and landed between my gum and my cheek. I reached in pulled it out and handed it to him. That will be $177.50 Doc I said.
Got out the power saw and sawed the rest of the tooth in half and pulled out each of the roots individually.
Soft foods, yogurt, and oatmeal gets old. To bad fluoride wasn't available when I was growing up. On the other hand my son was born too smart, too good looking, and with perfect teeth. Takes after his mother. Three cavities in his 55 years.
I'm working toward that one tooth thing.

Wow. Hope you're doing better now. If it were here, they always push to do the repairs vs pulling it out. They know once it's out, they can never get paid to fix that one again.

Q: Why are there so many West Virginians in Charlotte?
A: Cause one tankful of gas will only get from Charleston to Charlotte.

Yup, same place.
We moved from Florida "Gods waiting room" to West Virginia "Gods Country". I actually like it here and the natives are friendly.
