Thank you! I enjoy writing him. He's always a bit more bad ass than I expect him to be.
Over the years, I've had 8 extractions, 3 of which have been wisdom teeth so I've still got one of the buggers left and that may need to come out at some point.
I've been lucky in that I only grew two wisdom teeth, and so far they've stayed politely in my gums and not made trouble. I have what I refer to as the 'devil tooth', which had first a very large filling that hurt like heck for a few days afterwards, and then the filling was so big in it that it irritated the nerve and made an abscess that was literally the worst pain I've experienced (and I have had both gall and kidney stones). I was given antibiotics that cleared that up, but then it reformed and made a fistula to the outside of my gums. Thankfully the nerve was dead, so it didn't hurt. I had a root canal done and was assured the fistula would close itself up. It never did, and every few weeks I would have to drain the pus from it. Then I had to have a second root canal done to get the bits that the first root canal missed. It's been fine since then, but half of the outside has fallen off, so I need a crown put on so it doesn't break.
And freezing very rarely works on me, so I am very glad the nerve was dead. I've been informed I my father's teeth in my mothers's mouth, which basically means there's no room for them. I do not like the dentist either. I give them very good business. I've been lucky to have had a really great one since I was little, but he's retiring now and his replacement isn't as good at freezing me.
