AnneTheWriter<p>This week, a very special "THANK YOU" to my daughter, who not only drove me to and from the dentist (where I was put under heavy sedation) AND did my grocery shopping, but she also cleaned up my car and clothes after my stomach… well, "didn't make it all the way home okay."

Aaron PareckiThe 3D X-Ray machine they have at the endodontist is really cool! You can look at an X-Ray of any slice of the tooth!
John McLear<p>I need to make a decision on root canal vs implant.</p><p>Root canal is quick and cheap but won't be a bite &amp; cosmetic improvement. The cosmetic is just a small gap in my lower teeth, I'm not insecure about it.

Bo Jacobs<p>My relationship with my dentist is basically "catch and release."

Ertain<p>Months ago, I was at my <a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/tags/dentist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dentist</span></a>, getting fitted for a <a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/tags/crown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crown</span></a> (previously, I had a <a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/tags/RootCanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RootCanal</span></a>). The tool to scan my teeth for the eventual crown was pretty neat. The handheld device was able to 3D scan my teeth and gums, including the colors. What was strange about the ordeal was that my dentist used a gaming laptop to take the scans. I guess the tool makers didn't want to make a separate device for the tool. They figured, "All we need is something to fully run Crysis and we're cool."</p>
