When they first broke it was hell. Not exactly suicidal but sometimes when driving the call of the void would get louder.....

But back then I couldn't get treatment setup. I was a truck driver and always moving. Dentists hours were hard to hit and they always told me it would take multiple visits - but by then I'd be across the country.

Then they... stopped hurting. Even when I got a local job it was low priority. I knew it was a problem but eh.... Bills to pay. I took a qtip twice daily and scooped out anything caught in there.

Until recently when they started hurting again. Got setup with a local dentist. Got them out and a few fillings too. Price wasn't as bad as I thought and I don't know why I let it go on so long.

I just had a tooth pulled myself and it was $250. Sounds like you just didn't want to handle it? Bc a doctor absolutely will emergently yank a tooth if you need it (like I did like a week ago).
