Dentist

[china]

Over the last week i have had a tooth issue culminating in today having the said tooth surgically removed don't believe what any body tells you
Dentists are evil beings sent earth to test us

lol but they do have nice rotary driils though !!

Oh dear I went through the same thing a couple of weeks ago. The tooth just did not want to come out, the dentist had to almost climb on top of me to get a grip on it! I now have to get an implant that's going to cost £2000! When I think of the jewellery equipment I could buy with that makes me want to cry

You don't 'have' to get an implant - a bridge or denture will work just as well and cost a great deal less, especially if it's not in a particularly visible place.

I'd add that all the dentists I know (including many members of my own family) are lovely people - it has to be one of the most maligned professions for all the wrong reasons

Well actually I do have to have an implant. A bridge isn't possible as I have crowns either side and I've got a temp 1 tooth denture in at the moment and I can't eat or speak properly with it so definitely not a long term solution. The tooth was a top, side canine and very visible unfortunately.

Actually my dentist is lovely too I just wasn't too keen on him 2 weeks ago when he was yanking my tooth out

Not wanting to contradict any advice you've had, but crowns either side should provide the perfect basis for a bridge, which would involve crowning those teeth anyway. What a tiresome place to lose a tooth though.
