I used to think he was smart...lol...

[remyandhollandsmommy]

God love my DF but he has these "ideas" sometimes that make you want to tilt your head to the side and just stare. Let me tell you about his newest lol.

So he's been having these toothaches lately and was whining about it in the car the other morning. When we got to a red light I had him tilt his head to take advantage of the sunlight and saw that he has a wisdom tooth (BTW what idiot came up with THAT name?!) coming in at an angle. It, of course, has hit the tooth in front of it and cracked it so that explains the pain he has. I explained what I saw and this is his ideas to avoid a dentist and take care of the problem himself:

Option A:

DF: So do you think if I gently tapped a flat head screwdriver with a hammer I can bust out the tooth?

Me: Are you kidding me? Do not try that....(sadly I HAVE to say this)...you will most likely bust the tooth into pieces and have to have it surgically removed dummy.

He wisely nodded his head, but apparently still had some "thoughts" on the subject.

So he came up with...Option B:

DF: Okay, so what about this...I use a knife (I kid you not, he said this) and slit open the gum to let the tooth come through easier.

Me: Um, yea, it would cause a massive infection!!!

DF (god love him): No cause I can use listerine and peroxide to prevent that.

Yes, he honestly believed that was logical.

Me (head tilted at this point): Baby, I swear if I come home from work and you have TOUCHED your mouth I am gonna be peeved (used naughty word) off! DO NOT DO THAT!!

I enlisted my girls in watching him and making sure he did not try either of these STUPID ideas.

Now some of you may think I am exaggerating, sadly this is not so. He really is crazy sometimes. Point in case, last year he had a bonfire and decided it was smart to use his flip flop enclosed foot to "push" a burning log back into the firepit. He got third degree burns complete with black skin. Since I work in medical he thinks I am some kind of Dr...not true lol. I had to google burn care and clean his toes...it was gross BTW..he had dirt and pieces of wood in there! He was lucky not to get gangrene! I swear I have to constantly watch him to keep him from these "ideas" he gets lol...its like another kid lol. I told his mom on him and she was quiet then said, I swear I did NOT raise him to be like this. Yea she had to assure me the crazy person I am marrying did not learn this stuff from her lol.

Your DF and I would get along. We both have "eccentric" ideas.

 

[Liberty Belle]

Crazy guy.

How old he? It seems like I was still a teen when my wisdom teeth came in.

 

[olena]

Option C- Go a dentist, get it numbed and let a professional do the carving.




I get the feeling that you may remember this incident if he eventually chooses a career that involves demolitions, tools or even dentistry......or the next generation of *******.

 

[funkychunkymonkey]

25 here and getting wisdom teeth (crooked too!)

 

[charming23]

Wow! He sounds a lot like my best friend who would probably have suggested these ideas as well. We also have to make sure we tell him in exact words not to do something.

I am almost 25 and my last wisdom tooth is just coming in.

 

[lacrosse_lady72]

Using objects to remove the teeth... yes, nutty bean.

But I can see where he's coming from with the self-cleaning washes in Listerine and proxide... like flushing a flesh wound with some kind of anti-septic.

Oh yeah... I'm 22 and my dentist thinks my wisdom teeth should come out in my late 20s when they're in a good position to come out.

 

[WDWtraveler27]

I just have to show my dad this thread! He's a dentist LOL!

 

[Heidict]

My friends DH had an abscessed tooth once. It was killing him and he refused to go to the dentist because they didn't have dental insurance.

One night she woke up alone in the bed and went looking for him. She found him in the bathroom with a pair of pliers, pulling out his tooth. He said he just couldn't take the pain anymore.

Maybe your DF and my friends DH are related.

This reminds me of the movie Castaway where Tom Hanks removed his own tooth with an ice skate blade

And even if he had dental insurance, it would pay squat. All of this talk about health insurance in the government -- there's no one out there advocating for better dental coverage plans. I have the same dental coverage plan my parents had 30-40 years ago. It's so frustrating.

LOL, he read this and said see, they know what I am talking about...I replied, "Can you imagine the PAIN that listerine on an open wound would cause lol?" If he could I doubt he'd be so convinced his dumb ideas had merit lol.

 

[HeatherH]

Ummmm...and you're going to MARRY a man who thinks such things???

God be with you, my dear! Send the man to a DENTIST!

Haha yeah... I could imagine that being the one time I'd actually want to rip my mouth out of my face. Urgh, that would hurt.

 

[PrincessKsMom]

Does he happen to watch Deadliest Catch?

Whatever he decides, please make sure he only practices on himself and not you and the kids.

 

[chell]

Did he not watch Castaway? Remind him of that scene when Tom Hanks removes his tooth.

Anyway, you poor, poor woman. You are in for a very interesting life. I thought my hubby was a handful. Nope.

If his other tooth is cracked, he really should consider being knocked out to have his wisdom teeth removed - especially since he doesn't seem to like the idea of going to the dentist. It is so much easier when you are completely out of it.

 

[remyandhollandsmommy]

Ummmm...and you're going to MARRY a man who thinks such things???

God be with you, my dear! Send the man to a DENTIST!

We get married tomorrow so I am definately in for a lifetime of amusement lol...at least he keeps it interesting...deff have to be on your toes with this one lol..

 

[PrincessKsMom]

Congrats on your wedding tomorrow.

 

[terri01p]

My BIL super glued his cracked front tooth, no kidding.

Hey congrats on the wedding!

 

[Eeyore'sthebest]

Congrats on the wedding...I think.

And this is something DH would think of as well. It does make life interesting to say the least. Good luck with things.
