Pulling a tooth with vise-grips and a hammer - GIF

That will be $500 please, plus $120 for the Xrays, plus $80 for the cocaine, plus $80 for the antibiotics, plus $50 for the pro-biotics to repair the antibiotic damage. Come back in a couple of weeks and we will fit the screw in bases for the crown, plus more $ for antibiotics etc etc etc. Once that has healed we will fit a custom made crown which shouldn't b more than $1800. Would you like a scale and clean while you are here. $ ding,$ ding,$ ding goes the cash register. Is it any wonder people do their own
work like this.

I had a "temporary crown" done some years back."how long will it last? I asked before the "service"". "at least 10 years, usually longer and gauranteed for 12 months!" "OK, I guess $1500 is better than 5 grand plus more for complications & I might win lotto by the time it has finished: 2 visits about 1/2 hour. Ha Ha it lasted 13 months, so 5 years on I still have a broken tooth.
Ya can't see it when I smile 'cause I don't smile. LOL
Even my Doctor reckons, vets are bad enough, but dentists charge like cut snakes & that is saying something from him! OUCH. I really enjoyed "Cast Away" & can imagine the "do or die"= Gangrene in your jaw is a B..ch , I can asure you. I was sick for a very long time.
