This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Tell me you live in the US without telling me you live in the US:

The US or the UK*. In the UK, teeth are considered premium bones.

There are such things as NHS dentists, but you have to make an appointment when you're born to see them when you're in your 40s.

Oil of clove will numb the pain and no need for a prescription. Get the tooth pulled it is far cheaper.

I got a root canal and a temporary crown, a few years later I got a crown, many years later the crown came off because there wasn't enough tooth to anchor it. I got the tooth pulled but I had waited so long that the tooth started getting absorbed into my jaw and it took 4-5 hours of hammering to break it out of my jaw. The dentist needed to take breaks from the hammering.

My advice is don't waste the time doing all the other steps when you will just need it pulled later. If you can get the tooth without it being broken you may get to make a custom implant in the future.

I'll box that sucker out for one tenth of the price and ten times as fast.

Oil of clove??

Just go to the fucking dentist, even third world countries have public healthcare for such extreme issues.
