In 10.5 hours I’ll be at the dentist getting tooth number ten pulled. Last year I had a root canal on the tooth after it became infected. This year it got infected again. It looks like the tooth is cracked, so now it has to come out. Here are before and (assumed) after pictures. FWIW, I could never be a dentist. The thought of pulling a tooth out of someones jaw, and many other procedures a dentist must perform, makes me cringe.
