Title: You gotta love alloy bar ends
Post by: melon lover on December 23, 2012, 06:36:23 PM
5th time in 30 years to smash the same bloody tooth but today was the last time


I just sat through 4 hours of drilling and filing last week on my 2nd root canal on this bastard and 4 days later...

Damn, that sucks. I know what it's all about to have dental problems...  had throat cancer some years ago and the radiation treatments have destroyed my teeth to the point of it being a major issue with no end in sight. I recently had a front tooth break eating a friggin' fruit & grain bar! Need about 15 root canals and can't have any teeth pulled due to the risk of radio osteonecrosis. Lookin' at 20K in dental work with no insurance.

Oh god man that is my worst fear. Thinking about knocking my teeth out is the main thing I think about when I'm trying new things or going hard. How unfortunate!!!

Much love and healing energy to you boss.

Wow... a steamroller? Wut.. how?!

Hope that gets better soon.

On that note, what's the worst injury anyone here has experienced/seen just
from pure flatland? I claim a broken ankle, nothing worse.

Yeah it was just a steamroller!!! I don't even now how it happened it was just quick (but in slow motion as i was heading for the bar end). I was riding yesterday and had a great sesh, i was trying to work out how it happened but couldn't seem to see how i ended up in that strange position  ???

Plastic wouldve probably knocked the bugger out also, the stuff is harder than it feels and sounds, and not much u can do when you hit ANYTHING teeth first with most your weight behind it.
Looks gnarly dude. Hope u heal up soon!

Kenny kchez...u too bro! We gotta ride soon!

Melon - Thanks bro- that was a while back (04) and I've been good for a while, just hitting the dental stuff now.

Budz - I hear that! Been searching for an indoor spot for the winter without much luck. My shop garage isn't that big, but I'm committing to decades & undertakers for the winter! Already thinking about the spring! Hit me up w/ your #

Get well soon.  B)   Unfortunately its gonna cost alot, but on the brighter side, dentistry these days is amazing if you can afford it.  :D
 
I agree with Budz,, hitting anything teeth first with your weight behind it is gonna knock out teeth.  ???
