Picture this
a nail stuck in a timber board at a 45 degree angle above your head.
You cant fit a hammer or a pry bar in there to get it out
So after a few attempts with pliers you realise that your hands cant squezze enough presure on the nial so you can pull hard enough.
Enter a nice set of vice grips ..the big metal kind..
I load them up squeeze as hard as I can and get then nice and tight over the nail.
Then I say to myself ...1 nice big pull and I will have this out..remember the 45 degree angle away from me and raised.
well I grit my teeth ..let out a graon and WHACK,
I am now missing my front left and half of the right front teeth...... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
So thinking I have just smacked my lip I instinctively swallow ...yes..... 1 and 1/2 teeth are now in my guts... Plus side is my 7 y/o promises me it will not hurt when it comes out LOL ;D ;D ;D
So I have a very nice smile and i know its guuna hurt alot more at the dentist tomorrow.... :'( :'( :'( :'(
Just wanted to share my pain..can't even drink to ease the pain...
Jet ;D ;D ;D
I wont post pics as your guts will turn ..its a mess

Throw one of these under your toilet seat for the next 24hours. Rinse the soft stuff through, teeth will be left. Clean em up, stick em back on with a bit o' epoxy:-)

I lost my teeth into the back of a mates head in a car accident. Didn't put it together till I went into see him, in his ward. When I smiled at the nurse she asked if I was in the back seat. When I said yes she said that that would explain the hole in the back of his head :-(

Post by: jetcrew on June 24, 2014, 06:58:13 PM
what a day...
My front left tooth snapped off with enough tooth left in the root system for them to do a root canal, so they scraped out all the nerve and killed it all off ..installed an ally rod ..i think they call it a POST..
They then made a filling using a tooth shaped cup..it was pretty cool, after the post was inserted and the glue or whatever set, he used an ally primmer , then some other product, then mixed the filling stuff poured it into the tooth shaped cup (upside down of course) then pushed the cup onto the primed post, used some blue light thing to get it all to go off , then he ground the plastic cup off. normally a crown goes on your tooth , but he has made a tooth for the crown to fit to
then said that will do ya for today.. i think he was worried about getting paid LOL
so the next visit next Tuesday involves making a shaped filling for the right hand front tooth as that is salvageable with just a filling and also do a filling on the tooth to the side of the post tooth.
then he will grind down the post tooth filler to a pointy shape and do a mould or something for the cap to be made , he said I will have a temporary crown for 2-3 weeks till the real one is made ..then go back and have the temp removed and the real one glued on.
all in all I am looking at about $3500-$4000 worth of work.
He did say he is seeking a second opinion before the next sitting as to the life expectancy of the work he will carry out, as the only concern is that the filler tooth he built today will be the bond between the crown and the post so if it is not 100% the crown may fall off with the filler tooth inside it leaving me with the ally post..
other option is to rip them booth out and put screw in false ones 8-10K :'( :'( :'(
I told him I have a my swag meet coming up and I want to look my best so he squeezed me in .....
I know it,s not that great a smile but he did a good start I think, he said he can improve my looks for me ;D ;D ;D ;D
I think i have recovered well...

I got the tooth next to the front tooth knocked out about 20 years ago. :cheers:
The tooth's root was still left, so the dentist decided to drill a pin into the root and glue a false tooth to the pin $$$$$$
All good for about two years until the root decided to explode and my gum got infected.
So back to the dentist and pull out the root and he wanted to drill into jaw bone to put another pin in.
I said hold on cowboy you aint drilling anymore. I decided get a plate made and have had it since without any dramas.

Does it like a dream, next to no effort even with massive nails, just put them on and rock it over the rounded bit. I've pulled 4 inch nails out with only the head showing with them. Took more than one easy movement, but you can give them a few taps with your palm and get even pull screws out if you really have a go when you don't realise that the thing you've grabbed is a screw and not a nail...
I bought mine after I had to pull up the masonite over the kitchen floor, some bugger had put staples in it every couple of mm and it was an absolute pain to pull them all with normal pliers. Still took forever with the extractors but was much less effort.

Post by: jetcrew on July 03, 2014, 06:54:03 PM
well now dentist reckons that a crown veenerr might not last very long and a screw in would be better....Thats bloody great after you put the post in I say..Ok from here on discussions first then $$$ and work done..
So anyway after a bit of a discussion with him the specalist and the good old dental nurse (who i trusted more)
I will get an acrylic crown..
not as strong as enamel one
less than half the price
colour not as good
less than half the price
So the concern is that due to the damage to the tooth the post may fail and hence the whole shebang failing .. so agreed better to go in at a lower $$$ investment if doing a crown
total costs now down to $2200
i am happy with this outcome as he has done 2 fillings on the teeth either side as well, so if the smashed tooth fails in 2 years I will just re assess, but if it fails it is most likely to loose the acyclic rather than the post and filler as the acyclic is weaker so a built in weak point to save the post.
specialist said he has replaced 3 acyrilcs on same patient over 10 years ..but if it was enamel it would have been non repairable after first one.
So i said ..."oh ok bit like CV joints on a GQ ...better to change a CV than whole axle and hub " for some reason he did not understand..... ??? ???
