Default Wow

"...Root canals are a waste of money. Removing the blood supply and nerve from a tooth root causes it to turn into a hunk of brittle bone-like material that will eventually fracture. Best to remove the root that "needs" a root canal and put in an implant. Permanent solution..."

Wow...Pretty brave, aren't you?

I can say that root canals suck, for sure, as I have had two. Both were done a long, long time ago (35 years) with lots of novocaine and drilling...it definitely sucked. About ten years ago , one finally cracked. I had it replaced with an implant. After removing the tooth, filling the hole, allowing bone integration, drilling a hole, installing the post, allowing it to integrate, and finally fabricating the new tooth, I can say I like the implant, even considering the additional maintenance of flossing under and around the implant tooth.

They are not perfect, though. Had a second one done on a damaged front tooth. Same procedure, however, When the post was being threaded in, it stripped the bone. Dentist said we could start all over or do a bridge. I opted for the bridge, as I was sick of people drilling holes in my head!

Agree with previous poster that there specific tools for specific jobs...

I'm in Lakeway. You'll probably have some luck with someone nearby with a flying -10. If no luck your welcome to come by my place and step in and out. Wings aren't attached, but doors, seats and and everything is pretty much there for a test. I have a steep stool that is about the same height as the wing.
