Teeth

[IainH]

I got another abscess I've been using natural remedies fresh squeezed garlic oil, organic apple cider vinegar (extraordinarily unpleasant). I use antibiotics as a last resort and that's where I'm at now. We now have dental insurance so, I'm gonna get started on getting my mouth rendered tooth free. The Dental  profession's "SAVE THE TOOTH!" obsession is dangerous to overall good health. A root canal is dead and dead flesh connected to living tissue is never found a good thing. I am a kook but, on this I'm with a growing group of seriously papered Dental experts, in California no less. I saw it on Netflix, long enough to say "Finally, some sense". None of the expensive tooth saving dentistry done on my mouth saved a tooth.  TRUTH some people have very durable teeth, some don't.  In my family it's a crap shoot, my Grandfather had full dentures at 25, my Grandmother died at 104 with only her wisdom teeth pulled. Wisdom teeth were like tonsils back in the day. "Sore throat? Those tonsils gotta come out. Wisdom teeth? Gotta yank 'em".  I have my tonsils by pure chance. The Doctor I saw when I had tonsillitis was fresh out of Med School "No, Mrs Helton, we don't need to take out his tonsils, give him one of these three times a day and he'll be fine". Good ol' reliable Science. Supreme God in the Western Pantheon who clawed his way to the top by kicking the God of Individual Liberty in the nads. I think I'll draw a chart of the current Western God Pantheon. A task that will require GASP! pencil and paper!

Ok.

I needed my wisdom teeth removed, maybe 15 years ago. I'm not particularly blessed with a large alpha male jaw; all four were badly impacted, so it was extensive surgery. Recovery wasn't so bad except for the bad breath.

Get to drawing, Iain!

My teeth don't hurt as bad now. Thanks Alexander Fleming, a Scotsman no less. Now to find the Dentist to fit the job.
So, my prayer request is updated to "send me the right Dentist please".

For sure I will pray. What do you mean by "right dentist"? Are there scheister dentists in your area?

I don't think so, I mean cheap. Ok sociogeographic lecture. Uno.  Boone is 11 miles away in Watauga County, Nortklina.*Ah'ite. Lenoir is 20 miles  away in Caldwell County NC. The two 31 miles and a continent apart. Boone would be happy in California. Blowing Rock is more Old Money which is great because they pay people like me to work for them Check out the differences in Real Estate. Anyway, BR straddles the County lines and we do most of business and social interactions in W. C is the land of my birth filled with proudly ignurnt Rednecks "Free Birrrrrrrd!" and the Pious, who can hear F bombs drop around them all day at work without fazin' them but, if you drop one in their face will look at you like you just slapped their Grandmother, ah, my people woo      hoo. And, Beaners,  "You're Racist!!!"    " What are you talking about, I capitalized it." Besides, a good number of Hispanics and a few genuine Mexicans fought for the Confederacy, mainly from the countries* of Texas, Louisiana and Mizssippy, so they are alright with me. Lenoir has a small number of Interlopers thanks to Google. Ok, because of the above it costs significantly less for Dental work in Leno than Boone.
* NortKlina; anachronism unique to the mountains, not to be confused with NawthKlina drawl.
*2, Sovereign States has no meaning in modern America. Countries is more in line with the Antebellum definition.
 Another stupidly long answer to a simple question. Apologies, I find myself explaining to my people who they are because it's been "educated" out of them. They need something to believe in besides Merka and hatred of Liberals, to motivate them in the coming struggle. They are goats and cattle, canon fodder. One these days when old, full of piss n vinegar I shall stand on the courthouse steps and in a rousing speech fire up young men (women too, without a doubt, there's a certain breed of female round here that you just don't kcfu with) putting fire in their bellies to send them out to die. Phew.
