HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a pretty dumb thing to do, though. Removing an entire tier of teeth just because of one broken tooth. It's not like one broken tooth will make the unbroken ones fall off. Too bad our teeth aren't like those of sharks. One falls off and another is ready to replace it.

I wouldn't know, but I have a friend who foolishly had her entire top tier of teeth pulled just because she broke one tooth. She already had her bottom teeth done about 10 years ago. Now, she has pretty shiny fake teeth, and I can't think they could be as comfortable as a few teeth not perfect, but still your own.
Oh, and by the way, she's 5 years younger than me.

Yeah, but after a 3-hour car ride, $20.00 USD is a pretty good deal. Of course, that wasn't why my mom, her friend, and I went there on Monday in the first place. What was supposed to be a medical check-up (and buying cheap generic medicine) ended up with my mom coming back with a souvenir. Unfortunately one of her teeth had to be pulled out because of signs of periodontal disease around it. Thus, my phrase with the pic. Same dentist offered to make her a partial denture for $150.

20.00 plus the big fat plane ticket? I think I wont bother.
Besides there are places in the U.S. you can get teeth pulled for 25.00. Pulling teeth is cheep, it's saving them that is expensive. Root canal. Insurance will pay, but not until you cough up the 400.00 or more yourself to pay for it, and then wait a month or three to be reimbursed.
Do you know that Barbers ages ago used to practice teeth extraction? and blood letting. The striped pole outside a barber shop has a somewhat macabe past. The pole used to be stained with blood from blood letting practices. HA, my father would have been perfect back in those days since he is a R.N. and a certified Barbor. He chose to stick to barboring because it paid better in his established practice.

Tijuana, Baja California. The only place where one can get a tooth pulled out for only $20 USD.
