The last several days, one of my rearmost molars had been getting progressively more painful.
Finally got in to see my dentist a few hours ago, and I left his office with one less tooth. He said he could do a root canal, but on that particular tooth he win the battle and lose the war. I half expected that outcome, and by then I was willing to do whatever it took to get out of the misery I was in. It was the first tooth I lost since I lost one playing high school football. And that one cost me a commission in the Marine Corps. I didn't think the gap was that noticible, not like it was right in front, but some dental officer said the gap created an appearance unbecoming an officer. I can't recall anyone else ever even commenting on it.
My dentist's OK, though. I see him at gun shows, and occasionally when I have a routine appointment, he'll start off by telling me about his most recent firearm purchases.
His wife is no slouch with a 9mm auto, either.
