Woldan 2,453 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I bought cigars and now I'm going to smoke some while listening to good laid back music and drinking a couple of shots of rum. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. Link to post Share on other sites

Bartimaeus 2,706 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 How do you figure? Put fascists and sociopaths on your ignore list. Quote Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. Link to post Share on other sites
Blarghagh 4,871 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 The fleshy bit above it is swelling up in the same way it happened last time it got infected, and it also feels the same. There was a crack in the root that caused it, and they fixed it but said if it happened again they were going to have to remove the tooth. Link to post Share on other sites
Bartimaeus 2,706 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) That sucks a lot. I pretty much never brushed my teeth ever for like the first eighteen years of my life, and all I've got to show for it are a few smaller cavities (didn't even need a single crown or anything). Guess I'm really lucky - most people would've had to pay a much higher price than that. What horribly stinky breath I must've had for the longest time, though. Good luck with your teeth and getting them back in order! Edited September 3, 2015 by Bartimaeus Put fascists and sociopaths on your ignore list.

Bartimaeus 2,706 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder if that could actually make things worse: if it's all infected, might be that removing the tooth would provide more direct access to the gums (and through the gums, your other teeth)? I'm not a dentist, though...and I would want to consult one before doing something as drastic as permanently ripping out one of my teeth. 2 Put fascists and sociopaths on your ignore list.

Woldan 2,453 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Had the same problem a while ago, the area where the roots are was totally swollen but the rest of the tooth liked fine so I suspected a root infection. In the end it was a cavity between two teeth, just at the gum-line so it caused an infection and tons of swelling.

Good luck with your teeth and getting them back in order! Man, I wish I was as lucky. My teeth have been a problem for a long time. All my wisdom teeth were impacted and grew in so fast they undid everything my childhood braces did, and I broke several teeth in an accident when I was a teenager and had to get root canal on a few. I think the crack is still from that. I think one of my teeth roots is infected again. Happy day. Time to make a dentist appointment, I guess. The fleshy bit above it is swelling up in the same way it happened last time it got infected, and it also feels the same.

Dentists are just going to charge you money, you dont need to go A good piece of string tied to a door handle is the best way to remove problematic teeth Yeah, except I already said it was cracked. It's just as likely I'll pull it in half and leave fragments in there to fester. Had the same problem a while ago, the area where the roots are was totally swollen but the rest of the tooth liked fine so I suspected a root infection. In the end it was a cavity between two teeth, just at the gum-line so it caused an infection and tons of swelling. Well, a cracked root and a cavity have pretty much the same effect. But yeah, it sucks. I've felt weirdly sick and tired since the swelling started too, but the dentist is packed until at least next week. Link to post Share on other sites

Gfted1 6,240 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The US Navy loves to pull wisdom teeth. Everyone I knew that had them growing in while on active duty had them pulled. In my case the top wisdom teeth were growing in straight so they only pulled the bottoms. The highlight of the event was being sent back to your rack with a bottle of pain pills and two days light/limited duty. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to post Share on other sites
ShadySands 7,915 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) I had all of mine pulled in high school and I requested to be put under because I didn't think I could handle them cracking my teeth if I was awake. I also tried to take as little of my pain meds as possible which didn't last very long It did save me from the Navy butchers a few years later EDIT- On the fence about getting this shirt. Yea or Nay?

Blarghagh 4,871 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 All four at the same time? I had to get two at a time done because they said they never do all at the same time, both due to increased risk of infection and so you've got the other side left to use. Two on the right, then two on the left two weeks later. Link to post Share on other sites
