other treatment for a small abscess at one of the roots of a tooth other
than killing the tooth? The tooth doesn't even hurt. It just feels funny
when I chew on it. If I chew gum it feels a little like it's gonna pull
out but it's tight in the jaw and there's not swelling or discoloration
or any other external sign of a problem They only caught it on an x-ray.
But my dentist says get her done! He says it will never get better on
its own and might end up causing problems for nearby teeth not to
mention degrade my general health and stamina because it represents a
low-grade infection my body has to fight constantly. Any thoughts or
experiences?

Maybe the dentist will drill far enough through your tooth to reach your
brain, Wilbur. In that event, there may be some possibility that you
might be cured after all. In that case, you might even begin to
acknowledge all the attributes and advantages of owning a Mac. In any
event, it's something for you to think about as you lie there in the
chair as the dentist continues to drill into your head.

Just a suggestion.

Sorry JimC but the molar is on the mandible. The worst an inept dentist
could do is drill out the bottom side of my jaw. And if the drill bit
then hit my massive, iron hard pecs it would break into itty bitty bits.

Your Mac26M looks like an old Nash Rambler. Ever notice that?
Bwahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahhahhahahahh ahahahahah!
