FWIW - they do have sedation dentistry where they put you out or at least drug the fool out of you to do routine things like clean your teeth.

I also found out that the Novocaine shots have epinephrine in them, so all this time that I thought my heart was racing from anxiety every time I had to have a cavity filled (and I've got more than a few), it wasn't just about anxiety, it was about the drugs they were pushing into me. Knowing that doesn't help my heart beat slower, but it does help me think maybe I'm not quite as much of a dental basket case as I thought I was.

I have done a lot of reading about sedation dentistry, thats about the only way id actually go.

I also heard about the epinephrine in the lidocaine. I read dentist have not used Novocaine for over 30 years though and now most dentists in the USA use either lidocaine or articaine.

I was told my bad reaction the one time could of been due to the epinephrine. Its possible... All i know is it wasnt pleasant!!

Not where I'm from. They're remarkably stingy with that stuff, have been for years :grumpy: I never got squat from the dentist to take home, except advice to take a Tylenol and suck it up. Luckily I had other... sources. I'm not one to advocate illegal drug abuse but I'll say this much... there's a reason they used to use cocaine for oral surgery. Of course, there's also a reason why they don't any more.

I dont even take pain pills... So i know once i finally make it there ill have to deal with quite a bit of pain afterwards... Clove oil and garlic can only do so much LOL

And ill 2nd that moral. My kids think im an a$$hole for making them spend so much time brushing their teeth, flossing and rinsing... And they go to ALL their dental appointments and check ups because i know from experience how much a bad set of teeth can affect you. The pain, having to watch what you eat, not wanting to smile in pictures... A good set of teeth are very important.

Sedation dentistry is not cheap... I was once quoted a couple thousand just to be put under, thats not including pulling teeth or anything... And while the VA does cover all my medical bills they dont cover SQUAT when it comes to dental.

Well the other night I started looking at "patch" knives and stuff and the idea kinda took off with me. As I have shown yall before I made a little ugly blade using an old saw blade that somehow came out with good edge retention with a homebrew type heat treat. So I had a little scrap of that stuff left, knew I could get decent performance out of it so I made a little patch knife. I just "free handed and ground" the profile out, thinned the material at the blade even more, heat treated, aged, handled, and sharpened. All in all its ugly lol but it cuts like a straight razor, and it was something fun to do as a little quick project to test out an idea I had. Have to say the pictures make it look worse than it is, but it wasnt meant to be pretty just something fun to do lol.



The handles are made of 3/8" rubber stall mat, affixed with steel pins and epoxy. I had an idea of treating the stall mat with epoxy before putting it on the knife which was kinda interesting to do. After that I machine buffed them with black then white compound. 2.75" or so blade, 6.25" overall.

I'm sorry, but picturing Mr. Biscuit "sweating to the oldies" (since the minuet is old), just like Richard Simmons, stuck me as funnier (and snarkier) than most of the other typos!
 
Any time you are put under for anything, requires the monitoring by an anesthesiologist. These guys are some of the highest paid individuals in any medical establishment (hence the reason its so expensive). Move over neurosurgeon, the guy sitting behind you just monitoring the vitals/ chemical levels of the patient is making more :rolleyes: I have met a few, none of them drive anything less the an Porsche, and all of them have some sort of god complex. Apparently holding people in medically induced coma's makes you feel like you created the earth.

I was put under for my wisdom teeth removal. That was one crappy experience. Here I was all set to get all doped up and enjoy the ride! instead the nurse asked me a question about my job just before I went under. The entire surgery I was having a dream that I was working at a job I hated. When I woke up I was even more pissed off, because it was my day off from that job... and I was still 'there' for 2 hours or so lol.
 
I just need to find me an old rich lonely woman who owns her own dental office..... Im sure my wife would understand :D
 
I need to get out and make some rig to practice chopping with my 9 on.... I haven't done squat with it since the Gathering....

My Bamboo is coming along great guys! It's grown about 4" since I've planted it. I just thought I'd tell you guys cus, ya know, you really care....:D:rolleyes:

As my dad once said to me: "Only floss the ones you want to keep."

I was fully out for my wisdom teeth, which I think is normal.
 
My condolences to daizee on the loss of his cat. Hope you are holding up well. Around here, cats are part of the family.

Nice light, WW. I'm pretty fond of my LD12.
