I'm missing quite a few teeth, seven to be exact. Four molars, two wisdom, and a bicuspid. The first six don't matter so much, but the big thing about the bicuspid is that they have to do somthing so the bicuspid that it's paired with doesn't grow down and mkes it immposible to eat.

This means I have to get a bridge in a few days, and there has been much discussion on what kind of bridge to get: the permenant kind or the removable bridge. The permenant bridge they have to grind down the two teeth on other side to put on caps. The removable one slips over the teeth.

I'm sorta leaning towards the removable one, because if it doesn't work out later on I could have the option of just a implanted fake tooth.

Just a few months ago I had the last of my baby teeth pulled, and now I'm having a brdge put it. Time just flys by, doesn't it?

I kinda know how you feel. I have to go to the dentist on the 13th, just a routine check-up, but I'm missing 2 molars, the second ot last ones on the bottom jaw, and they plan on using my wisdom teeth and the molors that are all alone to fill the gap... And I have my poor eating habits from having ALL my teeth pulled as a kid. They pulled out every last one, so all I could eat was bannanas.

When I was just a little baby I had a dentist that held me down by putting his knee on me, but I bite him. Looking back on that, I figure we could have sued, he is now my moms dentist, and he dosn't remember her. I told her she should bite him.

All your teeth? That must have blown big time.

I should have bitten my last dentist. Lots of dentists should be bitten.

My old dentist should've been bitten. As well has his assistants. Once, I had a good sized cavity on a tooth in the front, and, since I'd noticed it before going, it wasn't like it was hidden or anything. But the idiot didn't even see it until he stuck his pick-thing in it and yanked.

And then about 3 months later the filling that was put on that tooth fell out (while brushing my teeth, no less), so I had to get it filled again, this time by the other dentist that works there. But then a year later that filling fell out. After that we said to hell with them and went to the dentist that's next to the post office in Altoona. He's actually pretty good.

But yeah, overall, most dentists should be bitten.
