porsche perio-dontal
yep gonna have a impacted wiz dumb tooth removed. only saving grace since i have a phobia of needles is dentist is certified porsche nut who owns three. his super 90 silver is to die for. has a blood red interior..........GO FIGURE!
the other saving grace is his assistant is a drop dead "10" blonde. and the final saving grace my girlfriend gets to watch me and help- me home after a mass infusion of demerol and valium.................this will be good........stay tuned! im bringing my dentist a new PCA sticker in the hope of him not strapping me in chair and placing his boot on my forehead and yanking the mutha "free" cowboy dentist style! off to LA LA LAND! see ya! |

Good luck, I am a Periodontist and a Pcar nut as well. Seriously we do it to help you and not to torture you! Watch out for the pretty assistants, they don't last long.

Been there, done that.
Take your ipod. Turn it up loud. Helps as much as the drugs. Gary |

Beware! My former dentist is a pilot. He bought a brand new Mooney, I'd guess about $500k worth. Shortly thereafter, my wife and I both had several teeth that needed capped, they started double billing us, and their rates went up. Coincidence?

Charles,
Focus your attention on the tiny golden hairs on the assistant's forearms and everything will be fine.

I went the surgical route many years ago...no memories of the actual procedure. You must babble a lot under the truth serum. My buddy showed to drive me home. He'd been in a car wreck, his forehead a mass of scar tissue at the time. The Doc: "Is this the guy you had the fight with?" HOOT...I'd been in a fight, opened a cut over a guy's eye...must have talked about it while under the influence. Man...they slipped the needle in my arm, asked me to count backwards...I don't think I made it to 9...from 10.

There are some horror stories of botched extractions.
I think a Periodontist will be more gentle on the bone, do more follow up, and be able to monitor a bone graft if one is needed. Other options are a dentist, or oral surgeon. Anyway good luck. I hope it's not the lowers. |
