Hi Joe,
The thought of MISSING teeth was against my very nature, that is sober...However, as soon as I had a tootheache, I would be at my dentsist office, grimacing in pain... At one time, I spent forteen-thousand dollars to SAVE my smile...and yes the narcotics were at my command...So,I did save my smile at a high price...
Joe,
Congrats on your nine days sober. Keep posting here, don't take the pills....
