Well as a follow-up, my extractions were a piece of cake. They could have raped me I wouldn't have known a thing. Put me out and do what you want, that's the way to do it. Recovery wasn't too bad, pain was relieved with aspirin, saved the good pills for emergency use (just n case). Stitches melted away but were bothersome and pointy, irritating ropes. My parents (in their mid 80s) took good care of me and babied me wonderfully. Now I can hear this weird hollowness in my speech and can't eat tortilla chips.

The root canal is on a tooth the dentist didn't have any confidence in but he wanted to spare me another extraction (I guess). He put a plastic crown on it and I have to be careful eating hard stuff. Should last you a year or so, he said. Probably wants to adorn me with an implant (that I can't afford). Oh well give me two, I'll need one on the other side.

Being in the tooth straightening business doesn't help me much, other than I get a few discounts. The surgeon didn't discount my extractions though and you have to pay him up-front (cause he has a new building to pay for). I will be able to make my own spare tooth retainer thingy (don't wanna say partial denture). Thanksgiving dinner will be slow going but I may find something to help me swallow it down with. I started some blackberry brandy a few months ago, it should be about ready by now. Should be good with turkey, bread, stuffing, salad, green bean casserole, pie and ice cream!

Easy to make, you just go pick a gallon or so blackberries, add them to a large bottle of brandy (in a gallon jar) put it in a closet for a few months and yer done. Well I put some fennel seeds in it and some sugar water. It's a bit tart and strong if you don't season it a little. What's cool is you don't have to process the berries. I used to press the juice out of them but I've found that after a few months in brandy they sort of bleed out the good flavor and color. You can take the berries out afterwards and make a drunken pie out of them or a cobbler. I've made it with apples too, not as flavorful but just as good.

We did that a couple years ago with fresh apricots and peaches from an orchard in B.C. - added a little Everclear to it for a little extra warming factor when sitting round the fire in January. Hmm hmm goes down very nice but you have to watch cause it'll sneak up on you. Than Bam! the chair tips over

If you can afford it Suz, give some thought to gold crowns mate. I've had porcelain crowns fail a couple of times and they are a pain in the butt. Usually it is the post they are mode on the cracks the roots of the tooth...all over red rover. As you no doubt know, a gold crown doesn't use a post, it uses the tooth itself. I actually have four or five gold crowns, and they are still perfect after about 14 years.

Yep gold works well.
Still got 3 gold crowns in the draw from when they pulled all my back teeth before radiation treatment.
One was 20 years old, one about 10, one 2 years old, very durable and surprisingly thin if you ever get to have a good look at one.
The oldest one fell out at about 15 years, it went back in the next morning.

Well the tooth I had extracted was a gold crowned tooth. The margin wasn't covering enough at the gum line and it went into self-destruct mode under the crown. Good reason to have them clean your teeth once in a while (which is what I love to avoid). They choose gold because it's more like the hardness of your teeth. Porcelain crowns are best used on your front teeth for looks, but they are harder than your real teeth and will break them if they're not adjusted right. I've got a few more gold crowns in there someplace. They saved the tooth for me, I put it in the freezer for later melt-down. Dental gold is more silver looking than gold but I can surely do something with it....don't know just what tho.
