In Memoriam Stretch Posted April 9, 2009 In Memoriam Share Posted April 9, 2009 The VA pulled one of my lower right molars last week. At first a VA dentist told me it would have to come out and I said no way. Then my regular VA dentist, Dr. Pain (what a name for a dentist), said he guessed that it should come out. I trust this Dr. Pain, completly. The tooth has been worked on for years and the tooth even had a filling underneath the bottom part of the tooth below the gums. After my VA Dentist gave me the answer I said, "I am up for having it pulled. Both doctors signed a slate form and also had me sign the form. It was one of those plastic plates with a plastic pen. I am getting some real crazy head aches right now, but not much out of the usual. I think that this is worth it. I didn't and won't pay anything. That tooth was almost al silver with just a tooth frame holding the tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted April 9, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 9, 2009 Sometimes they have to go and when they fix it later you will be glad that you did it. At least they did not just pull it cause they did not want to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True or false I'm really not sure just something I figured I'd mention GARY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
