Seventeen teeth out in one day. Like you, some loose, some broken, some dead. I had a whole team of dental professionals working on me for most of a day. I've forgotten over the years how many times they shot me up. Probably ended up in the mid-twenties. ("Raise your hand if you feel anything." My left shoulder got a workout...lol.)

I still have bottom teeth, so I still make semi regular dental appointments. But I'm content in the knowledge that a visit to the dentist is never going to be any worse than that day. I walk into the dentist's office smiling now. Do your worst, madams and sirs!

And don't forget the hot pizza thing. That's totally true.
