motocat12 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) 2 years ago... Ironically was on the way to the dentist for a cleaning, stopped in traffic when the not paying attention driver behind didn't stop and knocked the bike and I into the car in front then ran over the back of the bike and my foot. Spent the day in the ER getting checked out. My only complaint besides the medics missing my vein and giving me a big bruise was a sore front tooth that knocked the front of my helmet (already root canal-ed and crowned 20 years ago) The next day the dentist said my sore loose tooth hit in an accident looked fine on Xrays. Next dentist appointment a year later in another country the xray showed a gap fracture in my tooth and needs pulled to prevent infection.(how it's been connected all this time I don't know). Looking at the original xray there is a faint line where the current fracture is. Edited June 29, 2016 by motocat12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 That sucks. My dad has had a number of his teeth replaced with screw-in fakes in the past few years. They don't even make them out of wood anymore; it's crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I despise dental work. Been lucky in life thus far with my teefers, but should there be major problems - I'll go with full dental extraction and falsies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman1 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I feel your pain. My wisdom teeth needed pulled bad and I kept putting off until I got multiple cavities in them and the Dentist told me to man up and get them pulled. I finally got it done a few years ago and in literally 10 minutes they had all 4 pulled and I was out the door. I should have done it sooner!

motocat12 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I was under general, it's actually been the least painful proceedure i've had. Just upset by the loss of a tooth/no replacement due to driver,insurance, original dentist screwups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I take valium the night before. Then atavan the morning of. When I walk in there is no waiting, straight to the chair and then they gas me. And that is just for cleanings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snot Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 That sucks, it's not cheap fixing teeth. Can your insurance go back and charge the other driver for the replacement? I had a wisdom tooth cut out and removed from the side of my jaw (it was stuck under the jaw bone). I felt everything, the novocain didn't take... Sucked.

Gixxus Christ! Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 My wife had to have a molar root canal. Instead of going to a specialist she went to a regular dentist. That dentist couldn't hit the main nerve with the Novocain. She also couldn't read an x ray for dick and missed 2 accessory roots. Over the course of 5 visits my wife endured 12 hours of root canals with no anesthesia. Then the tooth broke in half and she had to get it pulled and get a permanent bridge. Careful who you let fiddle around in your mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I had no wisdom teeth. Making up for that or appeasing the motorcycle gods I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
