So I go into the dentist for some tooth pain and find out I basically need to get a root canal as soon as possible. (so next week) I've hit the cap on my insurance, so I have to pay out of pocket. So that's a nice random 800-900 bucks down the drain. I can afford it, but it's still annoying as hell.

I really wasn't expecting to have a crown in my 20s.

If it's not one of your front teeth get it pulled. Root canals are a great way for dentists to revenue, since most of the time they're going to result in you going back to get it extracted in a couple of years anyway.

I'm worried that if you tried to run a lamp projector inside a countryside collage it would catch fire.

How are you supposed to deal with the gap in your teeth, exactly? That's going to cause problems down the line.

Seriously, Mars, don't listen to this advice.  It is bad advice.  Crowns are excellent.

Wow, I instantly regret any time I have ever defended you. That was a low blow. Get fucked, dude.

Buge, I've had a few of my back molars extracted because it was the choice between a root canal and an extraction. An extraction's about a hundred bucks, a root canal is about 900 but all the pre-crown work is another 1500. I debated about it, but my dentist was actually honest with me about it and told me about half the time the root canal doesn't work and they have to pull the tooth anyway. Even if they dont, you're living in borrowed time, because eventually the crown will fail and you'll still have to get the tooth pulled!

If it's not one of your front teeth nobody will ever notice it, and you get used to moving food around to avoid the gap, or you don't notice the gap at all since the food gets minced by the teeth around it. It's subconcious, like chewing with the other side of your mouth when you get a toothache. You don't even think about it.

You can get implants, they're just more expensive than the root canal and crown combined.

Personally I detest the idea of losing natural teeth (even though they lose themselves just fine) but that's kinda my hangup.

I don't think that's any lower than you insulting Oklahoma City pretty harshly when you thought I lived there.

Quote
to everyone who has never been to Oklahoma city;

Despite having the largest square mileage of any city in the USA, I don't think any building is higher than a mailbox and most of them are held up on cinderblocks with a boot on the foundation. No offense to MCE, but the last time I was in OKC I drove down the wrong street and dueling banjos started playing with a ranchero accordian and trumpet accompaniment.

I don't find it personally offensive, but if you live in OK and still have this kind of bias, wouldn't it make sense for someone else to make a joke about being toothless and living in OK?

I was making a light hearted joke not targeted at an individual. I don't know, I guess there's no difference, I'm sorry?

I didn't interpret TA's comment as directed at you specifically but I've been wrong before

I guess TA will clarify it eventually but I figured the implication was "nobody would notice your missing teeth".

It's one of my front teeth (right behind the canine and I'm already missing the ones to the sides of my very front teeth) so the entire argument is silly!

Today I found out that the guy I'm staying with has never seen fit to invest in a plunger. I also found out that his toilet plugs up quite a bit. Luckily wal-mart had some super-plunge-o-matic thing and the problem is now resolved. Still embarrassing though.
