Gary,

I numerous root canals only to have the tooth explode within a month and finally decided to get those things the hell out of my mouth - I had to go to three separate dentist before I could find one willing to pull what they thought were perfectly good teeth.

But, I told them that I was done suffering the pain of root canals, infected gums, and the amount of money it all cost. and that I would take a hammer and knock them out if they wouldn't do the job.

I also had my dentist make the upper plate before he pulled the teeth so i could put it in the same day. He shuddered to thing about doing that, but I am so glad I did because those teeth still fit perfectly 20 years later and I can still eat corn on the cob.
