bb, this is all true. I had eleven teeth pulled and replaced with
implants. I went to the dentist about every 3-4 weeks for over a year.
No way could I have afforded to fly to Costa Rico for all those trips.

And yes, in between the scheduled visits I made several trips to get
the temporary dentures repaired, reglued, or replaced because I bit
down on something the wrong way. (Or because I chewed Nicorette's and
they stuck to the plastic stuff the temporaries were made of!)


They have this instrument that would have eliminated the need to pull
eleven teeth. It's called a toothbrush.
