I have 1 original wisdom tooth left. It's an anchor point for a lower
bridge.
I have a couple of crowns too.

I have occasional nightmares about dentists. I have this absolute
paranoid
dilusional fear of sharp instruments poking me in the mouth. I'm one of
*THOSE* kind of patients where I need to get be stoned on nitrous so I'll
mellow out in the chair!!!

I have several patients that need nitrous even for their cleanings. I
suspect some of 'em like it just a little bit too much, however. Nobody
needs a cleaning every other month. I don't charge extra for nitrous (most
dentists charge $50-100 extra), and perhaps that's just "enabling" them. I
don't charge extra because a relaxed patient is much easier to work on.
