trying to help DH pull out a tooth so the dentist doesn't have to

He wasn't successful. Personally I usually think that insurance, while we buy it to help with a loss, is in existance for the insurance co to make money.
In any event, I doubt it if the tooth would last 3 weeks anyway, dentist or not. I saw the X-ray. There isn't much bone holding it in place. We are prepared to have the dentist take it out. He just wanted it out to end suffering and to save 104 bucks.
It will come out anyway.

Sorry RB. :/

This is the most horrible thread I've ever read. Not only is it dangerous (with the risk to other teeth, of not getting it all, potential infection...the human mouth is FILTHY) not to mention that bleeding while drinking isn't wise at all.

I'd just let the dentist do it. They actually know what they're doing, they have the tools and the right painkillers and if something goes wrong, they'll either know how to fix it, or it's on their heads, so they're more likely to do a good job to avoid being sued.

That's what insurance is for.

my reaction exactly.

My teeth hurt now..... Gotta hand it to ya, RB...you all are certainly taking SS to a new level!

Tell him to just man up and yank the SOB out. If there is still scotch in the bottle, then he hasn't drank enough yet!!

On Castaway, Tom Hanks did it with a rock. Have you tried a rock?

My poor brother used to get slap drunk and pull his own teeth when needed,...with a pair of pliers. He usually passed out first,... Bless his heart.

I dont' think I would put myself through an ordeal like that to save 100 bucks. It hardly seems worth it.

I guess it would depend on whether you had a hundred bucks or not,....
