Mike I liked this thread until you told that joke!!!! LOL J/K!!!!!
I know a gal who had 6 years and then wound up on some pain meds and relapsed! A lot of folks I know in the fellowship give thier pain meds to another person they trust to give it to them only at the proper time & in the proper dosage. The young lady who relapsed was lucky and got right back into the rooms and got a chip in less then a week, she has 7 months now.
BTW I used to like the dentist until the crowns started coming!!! LOL
