i have a loose tooth thats been bugging me for a while,so the plan is to attach a piece of fireline to the tooth and then to the jaw of a bridger #5 and set off the trap,what could go wrong,LOL.i did this with another tooth a couple years ago except i dropped a boat anchor off my deck,and that went well, so i figured id try something a little different.who else pulls their own teeth?

Haven't done that since i was about 1 yo.
The extent of my home dentistry now is re-gluing crowns that fall off. It's not rocket science. The dentist always wants to refit a new crown for about a thousand bucks.

Had a crown put back this month. $130. Insurance paid $40. Took less than 30 minutes.

I broke one in half that I had a root canal done on sometime back. I waited it out, pulling on it daily until I finally got it out.

I hear you waggler but what’s the trick to keeping it on. Have one keeps falling off and cement it back on but only lasts for awhile. Don’t want to swallow that thing in my sleep lol.

Seriously, go see your dentist you may need additional work and a new crown to fit.

I tried to convince my daughter to let me tie her tooth to a model rocket last time time she lost one. I told her we could send her tooth to the moon, but she wouldn't go for it. So I just yanked it out by hand.

May not work on adult teeth.

Was that done in Mexico? If not, I need to find a cheaper or more practical dentist.

Clean and DRY, then just a little dab of 5 minute epoxy. The dry part is a little tricky, a small airbrush compressor works well.

Nope. Uh-uh, no way. I hate mouth pain. Worst kind of pain there is.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Obviously you haven't experimented with the benefits of medicinal whiskey enough. I have been studying it for years now.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I just had my regular appointment to my dentist this morning. And just north of me, one of the best dentists in the country has his thriving practice, along with other very good ones.

There is nothing that replaces a dentist for me. The clean sparkling hygiene and white teeth of the mouth reflects directly on the health of the whole body.

I look forward to seeing the staff and my dentist who all treat me as family.

Sure the resin kits for crowns are beneficial in emergencies, only until I can have my peeps at the office check it . All too often, old crowns that come loose also have starting cavities beneath them . To glue them back on with no dental check up, is asking to loose the whole tooth to rot later on.

I’ll take my dentist over anything.
