 Dude, try just getting them pulled and leave the few others for surgery. I also suffered for many years until about 6 months ago I finally got them all pulled! $4500 for all extractions and temp dentures at Aspen Dental. Some were impacted where I thought they'd need surgery but the nice dentist lady was able to get them. I put it off for so long but it's been awesome with them gone. Within just a few days I was getting my energy back and my heart felt more normal. God speed!! 🧡🤝  
 Thank you brother. My roots hook into the jawbone. Already had two failed extractions. 😖 The dentist here said she wouldn’t touch them with a 10-foot pole. 
 Oh man.. Yeah, the poor lady had to wrench on mine for like an hour but I couldn't feel a thing. Finally she broke them in half or something and that worked. I remained polite and encouraged her to not give up lol I was not leaving with any teeth left!
That sucks... Could go to an unsuspecting dentist and let them try lol. Seems like the crack and extract might work since they can pull out the roots in sections.
Either way, you're on the road, get it done by hook or crook lol, you'll be so glad you did..

Here's the scene afterwards 😂🥲 #nsfw
Thank god for numbing shots! Felt 0
