No Smokes For You!

smokin5 · 04-27-2010, 09:32 PM

Experiencing some major tooth/gum problems which are causing much pain & consternation. Dentist & I are trying some less-radical remedies, but if unsuccessful, he'll be yanking a couple of teeth Monday afternoon.
As a result, there will be NO cigars for me (or very few, anyway) at least one week, and quite possibly 2 weeks or more.

I tell you, I get no respect (tug, tug).

Not quite up to a level of "prayers needed", but send a good thought or 2 my way if you would, please.

Here's hoping that you are lighting up in no time!!

MedicCook · 04-27-2010, 09:38 PM

I waited 48 hours after getting my tooth pulled. That was plenty long enough.

Ogre · 04-27-2010, 09:42 PM

No prayers, just thoughts. LOL

Prospector · 04-27-2010, 09:42 PM

Ouch! Sorry to hear that Eric but fear not, for I shall smoke extra for you

Seriously, hope you start feeling better real soon. I know what bad tooth pain feels like and wouldn't wish it on anybody ... well, maybe a few somebodies, but certainly not you.

Take care and get some good pain meds from the nurse.

maninblack · 04-27-2010, 09:45 PM

Good vibes headed your way. I'll smoke your share for ya. I'm good for an extra stick or two.

Ogre · 04-27-2010, 09:46 PM

if you are afraid of spoiling cigars, I will be glad to dispose of them for you.

smokin5 · 04-27-2010, 09:53 PM

On the bright side, this means I'll have an extra 2 boxes worth of cigars that can be used for more bombing runs - ever the optimist, that's me!

I'm in the middle of having root canals and teeth pulled that had root canals done years ago. I know where you are bro.

If you can go for a root canal I highly recommend it as opposed to having a tooth pulled......but my dentist does root canals where I don't need even an aspirin after he's done.

Got 2 more old root canaled teeth I have to have extracted in 2 weeks.

Good luck brother.....I'm right there with ya.

Wishing you the best of luck with it, Eric.

Good luck... Tooth pain flat out sucks! Positive healing vibes coming your way....

Hang in there, Eric.
You can always substitute martinis for cigars.

When I had a tooth pulled last year, my doctor told me I only had to wait a day or two -- just enough to make sure that the clot held and I would not develop "dry socket".

Peter's suggestion re: Martini's is a good one!

hotreds · 04-28-2010, 08:54 AM

Best wishes!

Hope you get past this real soon. I agree that you should rinse at least 3 times a day with a nice "alcohol wash" ...you know, medically speaking.
