The other evening, I spotted this moth, which is unlike other insects I have seen. Also at night when flying around, an insect generated a green luminous colour which also is unusual.

Another day passes, this is Saturday, apparently. After being holed up here for so long, I have lost track of time. In fact, I don't even wear a watch anymore. Looking at the mainstream media and just from being in a town, it is pretty miserable news. Everyone knows about the problems stemming from power struggles, yet still fly around in cars. I don't see anyone really working, maybe just a few, the rest is just not really working, I suppose...

While researching how to go about fixing the stuck root, I found an x-ray of another humans skull with the same problem... Perhaps they went to the same dentist, who knows? Anyways, the tooth shown is exactly the same fault as I had, and using this as a reference was a big help. Obviously, getting an x-ray done is better, but every time they blast you, is not good. Also, they want money. I wouldn't have attempted the job if I thought, I couldn't handle it.

Anyways, time has moved on since and most of the world has been flooded, earthquaked or warred but I still seem to be standing which is always good.

Time to quit smoking (again.)

Well, today, after the extraction, feeling fine. I have a filling that came out and have refilled it using the zinc oxide and oil of cloves, however I have found the compound that the dentist uses for $20 and will fill it myself later. It's called Denseal, but stuff like this you just can't get here, not to my knowledge. It's proper filling. Now, a good brush and and stains will come off.

Another thing I would like to get is some Iodine. If you mix it with Borax and Bran with water, and sink your feet in it for 20 mins, it makes corns go away properly. I got corns by wearing workboots for years. All it is, is hard skin which build up into a little circle usually. You can grind them off/out, but they come back.

A full moon, perfect for extracting teeth roots...


So, there you have it... An extraction that went wrong by a dentist, finally, sorted. The second part of the root came out with a bit of a fight. After roughly quarter a bottle of Bacardi (I hate that stuff, but for dental extraction, sure.) I used the pliers again and
twisted the remaining piece in a clockwise motion until good and loose. It came out in a sideways angle and at the moment I am waiting on the clot to heal using nothing but a piece of tissue. Very glad to have this sorted because I was getting run round in circles about having to go and get X-Rays and probably be hospitalised in order to finish this job. Of course I am annoyed about it, but am just glad it is over. I have some other dental work, which I can probably pull off myself also, but it's not that bad. The next port of call is a good scrape all round and that I will do using salt and a mixture of decent toothpaste, this always goes a long way to getting stains off the inner side of the teeth. Currently the outer side is pretty not bad, but with lots of smoking and tea drinking etc the inner side can quickly get black before you know it. Another thing that messes up teeth is antibiotics, so just remember that.

Today, after the root I pulled out, I am feeling a lot better, like, a hellalot better :) I couldn't get lidocane today, but I did get a course of Amoxicillin, which I will use in case of infection. The thing about that lidocane, is that unless you mix it with epinepherene, it's basically useless because it's out of the bloodstream too quick. When it's mixed with epinepherene the analgesic properties last tonnes longer because the epinepherene makes the blood able to hold the lidocane longer basically. I will try using some alcohol which a local donated but not for a few days yet. The reason being, I am waiting a few days so that the initial clot is good and tight, so that the final shard comes out with less blood (and pain.) Once this is done. I will scrape the teeth using a compound of salt and strong toothpaste, which helps get smokers stains off the inside. After this, prolly best to stop smoking (again.) I hate being asked about smoking, and frankly I don't like it, but when you're wasting time it goes with the territory. The last time I stopped smoking, my old dear called me a pervert, so you see, damned if you do, and damned if you don't situation. Seriously though, I'll cane it because currently after losing so much weight, and lifting weights, it would make sense to do this, and also it sucks.

After 7 years of a dental problem inflicted by a dentist, I finally bit the bullet and decided to go loco on it myself. The tooth fragment above is part of what was left of the lower jaw 2nd molar after an extraction went wrong long ago. Originally, the gum grew over the affected shrapnel but over the years it wore through to the tooth again. After playing around with the root I decidied I could take it. A swift call down to the local foodstore and bought a cheap set of long nosed pliers. The process of removal, I recall from a good dentist (I don't like the word, qualified.) The way it is done, is grip the tooth and twist in a clockwise motion (almost like stirring a bowl of broth with a big ladle.) By doing this, it makes the resulting yank out part much more bareable as the gum is all good and loosened up. There is a small part still left, which I will remove under a small dose of lidocane or alternatively a half bottle of whisky. The root is dead, but the gum is a bit tender so this is probably the best way. Just glad this sucker is out. They told me i'd have to go get xrays and probably have a surgeon cut into the jaw to get this out...
