CREW Dentists of OT, and other practitioners of the subtle art of Dental Torture for Money GTFIH

There is now a dental thread. Well I never

 

[pookrat]

15years is pretty decent for front teeth that get a lot of usage

I had all my work done in 2004. All of my vaneers seem to be fine but quite a few of my crowns have started to chip or ger small cracks in them. I am going to have to start getting new crowns as replacements. Are Vaneers usually more durable? Last longer?

 

[Dracord]

I can't even remember my nomenclature. #33 is your lower left canine? I wouldn't yank that

No way to tell without knowing material but generally back teeth get significantly more pressure (psi)

Makes sense as those are the ones that started cracking first. 32 is all the way gone. Just has the mount for the crown. And I have had a Root Canal in that one so it feels all sorts of weird for my tongue. I'll probably get that one done first.

I probably got the number wrong - it's the last molar before the wisdom tooth, bottom right.

32. You shouldn't have a 33... Unless you still have yer wisdom tooth there. I don't think they usually refer to them with numbers though. And yer lower left canine would be 22.

My 32 is the one with the crown mostly gone. I had pain similar to yours before a root canal after the original crown just wouldn't stay in place. Was fine after the root canal and never had an issue for 16 years afterwards.

31

31

I defer to the dentist... He would know more than me. LOL

Do they number wisdom teeth as well?

Edit: After looking at charts it looks like the Wisdom Teeth are numbered so 32 would be the Wisdom Tooth back there.

Oh an I still have all 4 of mine as well. Never had a reason to remove them even when I had all that work done.

company says there's a dentist at my destination that can do the deed.

company lied. teeth died.

 

[Remy Bressant]

Had a filling for the second time in my life yesterday and it was painless. Dentist kept stalling out the drill though, seems like that would be a no no.

 

[Ranger-AO]

anyone know of a good dentist in dubai?

 

[stevezissou]

LMAO bro we tried to tell you to get it handled before you left.........

Dude... I know... Can we please just blame this on my company for a minute?

When you posted that, it sounded like a lie to me.

Make it your employers problem since they were the ones who lied to you.....

so there is a dental clinic in country, but they will absolutely under zero conditions ever be equipped to do a root canal.

And now my choices are either run the covid gauntlet back to the states or do the same to dubai.

I'm going with they were mistaken. Mainly because I don't want to think someone would lie about something like this.

Ask @GonadWarrior on what he would do

I would head home to the USA.

I have heard horror stories about people having surgeries done overseas having issues/botched and then no USA doctor wants to become involved at that point.(Not necessarily dental but other medical procedures)

You left improvised extraction off that list

Tell the company to sack up, pay for your return for dental work, and your wages for all the downtime because of their stupidity. That or tell them to fly in a respectable oral surgeon from home.

Definitely not wanting to pull it.

Started taking a 5-day run of a z-pak supply I always travel with today. Pretty sure this fucker is infected, and whatever direction I decide to go it's going to take a while to get there...
