Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ye Ha!! store bought teeth.

I remember....Paul Harvey had one on. If you're too young to remember Harvey, he had a delivery style that made him a national news media treasure. In this case, an old woman had a stomach flu. She was throwing up her very soul. After 1 bout in front of the ivory chamber, she accidentally threw up her false teeth and flushed them. She called the city sewer dept. and asked if there was some way to recover them. They checked their screens, found them, and returned them. In classic Paul Harvey style, he 'recommended' that she give them a good boil before using them.

I’d boil them twice.
Paul Harvey was a national treasure. Miss him.

Im ALMOST at that point. Ive spent a damned fortune having my teeth "fixed" only to have them break off, come out, get loose, etc...... Im done with it all. When they get to the point I cant stand them anymore, Im getting them bastards pulled and getting dentures or partials. Im DONE with sending dentists kids through college! A root canal IS NOT the answer, neither is a crown, or a bridge. All that [bleep] does is make a dentist be able to vacation in the more luxurious parts of the world and he knows for damn sure you WILL BE BACK!

We spend the six months of winter in Yuma, there are thousands of people down there in RV parks who are mainly there for teeth. I have three crowns put on there about 20 years ago, still there and doing fine. Dental work there is really cheap compared to in the US, makes the trip down there worth it for many.

Bingo! had ins. still spent 5 grand out of pocket in 2 years for a last ditch effort. Another poster mentioned stomach acid, I had/have that too, not wonder my teeth gave up.
Wife recently spent a grand out of pocket plus ins, for a root canal, crown, blah blah blah. She has pretty teeth, but I figure her vanity has cost her 50K.


No Mehico for me. Let passport expire thinking I'm not leaving the borders.
