Advice please.

That sounds brutal.  How did she respond to that?

Well, she cried for about 30 minutes and kept saying that she was sorry.  It really only hurt for about 5 minutes, so I stopped crying after that.  She was mortified, haha.  I can't imagine how nervous she was when she took me in to the dentist's office.

I said some funny things when I was little.  I think I was about ~3 here.  We were in a train and someone in the car that was sitting next to us cracked open a soda and poured it into a glass.  I then said for no apparent reason: "My mom drinks a different type of pop, it's called whiskey!"  It's only moderately funny until you hear/realize that she was obviously pregnant with my sister, haha.

I was tricked into believing that whiskey was Kool-Aid as a child, and to my disappointment, found out it was not.

"You told me that was your third arm..."
"Ha ha! High five!"
"I don't want to do that anymore.."

Go to the dentist. -_-

We are really low on money, which is why if you read my post, you'd figure out what the $1000 part was about.

It's that color because it's like..dead. I've never had a serious problem with my teeth, worst I've ever had was a cavity in a baby tooth about to fall out. This thing is like stuck underneath my adult tooth, and it's being a little pain in the ass.

Sell your iPod, that'll get you much of the way there!

Well, you have to ask yourself what's more important.  Your tooth/health, or your toys.  If it's your toys, then fine, suffer.  *shrug*

By the way, doesn't your family have insurance?  I thought everybody in the US practically has Blue Cross or whatever..

Nope of last night my mom got rid of her insurance so if I get hurt its going to cost her a fine penny to go the hostiple.

To your question bro. I suggest just getting a close friend and have him rip it out.

Ehh, that's awful.

My dad lived with a dead tooth for a good 30 years of his life. He got into a drunken bar fight around my age (I think), and got a pool stick in his face at full speed.

He just recently got it pulled.

Oww, now THAT'S torture.


iago: We have Blue Cross, but the counting the gas bill/cost for x-rays, let alone getting the actual tooth pulled/amount of stress my mom is already under, I look at it as, it's my problem, and shouldn't make it a burden on other family member's to get it fixed.

[Towelie]

eh, talk to your parents about it, they might have an idea.... otherwise keep seeking answers, try a toothpick to get it out

[Explicit]

Loosen it up as much as possible with pliers, as mentioned earlier.

Doesn't Blue Cross cover all that stuff?  Well, except for the gas bill, as far as I know..

Or am I misunderstanding the point of Blue Cross?  When I say how cool Canada is for having free healthcare, Americans counter by saying that everybody there has Blue Cross, so they don't pay for it..

The bottom line is, unless you're willing to go to your parents about it, the only solution is to tie a string to it, tie the other end to a door knob, and slam.  Or to a truck, or use pliers, or something equally painful.  Failing that, deal with it. 

Or call Sidoh's mom..
