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?

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.

That happened to the caps that where put on those molars that fell out... caps are no fun, you always seem to have a taste of metal in your mouth.

Yeah, I can imagine. I don't have any (lucky me), but my sister does. And my grandmother has gold ones ;)
