Tue Dec 22, 2015, 08:38 PMPrisoner_Number_Six (15,443 posts) I had nine teeth pulled last friday.My teeth were literally crumbling in my mouth- not for lack of dental care, but as a side effect of the type of arthritis I have. I'm getting ready to have my third knee replacement, but the horrible condition of my teeth was a stumbling block due to the risk of infection. Now that that's out of the way I can proceed once my mouth heals. Some time after the beginning of the year I'll finally have my right knee replaced, and hopefully this will be a major step (so to speak) toward me getting out of the wheelchair I've been chained to for the past five years. For the curious, the answers to a couple questions- I stayed awake and my mouth was numbed with injections for the procedure. The worst part was the two shots he had to give me through my upper palate. The remainder of the procedure was painless, and after the numbness wore off there was actually very little pain. I already feel physically much improved. It's amazing how one doesn't realize how bad teeth will drag a person's health and well being down, and how quickly a person can snap back from it, even after a long period of time.

I know very few people that are thrilled about going to the dentist.You are absolutely right about the effect of bad teeth on a person's health. I STILL to this day don't understand why dental work is not included with every health plan. Any doctor will reinforce the importance of dental health and overall health. Hope everything works out. Merry Christmas to you!

I'd always rather besomewhere else but at the dentist but, not to sound like a goody-two-shoes - I do try to remind myself while I'm in The Chair that I'm acdtually fortunate because there are people who would love to get the dental care they need.

My dear Prisoner_Number_Six!SO good to hear from you and I'm thrilled that your teeth are no longer in the way of better health for you! I am looking forward to seeing photos of you standing, once your right knee is replaced........... Hope my holiday card got there. Merry Christmas to you, and to all of us!
As far as I know he never posted a photograph of any kind at the DUmp.He was a DUmp democrat, so the chances are slim that anything he said was true. But he claimed to have pulled all his teeth himself over a period of time, drilled holes in them, and strung them onto a necklace that he wore all the time.

WTF? He should follow Obama's advice, just take a few pills and lie down and die.
Why would he need to worry about being chained to the wheelchair?? If he falls out, he's got nothing to worry about- Bumbles bounce!!
