All right, so the tooth that had the crown on it, the endodontist, the endodontist, you know, just a dentist doesn't always have the ability to go in and do root canals. They might be able to do simple root canals, but when you get into the molars and they've got four roots and, you know, sometimes they've got roots with pockets and things like that and you need someone who specializes in that. So I ended up having to get ahold of an endodontist up here, one that I actually went to before, and he went in there and took care of that. That was painful. Spent several days after it, wishing my mouth would just go away. But then I also had, excuse me, what was it, another situation where I, they did the root canal to try to save the tooth, and I had had a pus sac on the side of that, on the gum, and it had popped. So I went back to the dentist to get the root canal, or to get the crown done. They said, well, with that pus sac, we don't want to put the stuff that they put around the tooth to get a measurement so they can create the crown. So they wanted me to wait a week, and I ended up waiting two weeks, unfortunately, and by the time I got back, the tooth had cracked, and they couldn't save it, so they ended up having to pull it out. So I ended up spending all that money on the root canal, and it was wasted because the tooth cracked. But yeah, I've had some issues, but I still got most of my teeth, and they're in good shape, and the doctor said, one of my dentists said at one point that I've got some really good roots, so if I take care of my teeth, I should have them for a long time, so that's what I'm trying to do. But my wife, on the other hand, she wouldn't mind having all her teeth pulled in any dintures, because she's done with it. But there you go. My experiences with the dentist. Thanks for picking up the mic, Ray. I was up because I was going to do it, but I was right in the middle of something, and if you want, I can still take it over here, but if you're going to carry it, thank you.
