> Thank you Mike,

> I think your response is right on. Mine is also the last molar on

the upper right side too! I am terrified of the Dentist. I f I have

options, I believe I'll just have it pulled. It's just so soon after

shoulder surgery. Half the old tooth is gone. When you make yout

trip around the country, could you please add me to you list of

stopovers if possible. I live in Arlington, Va. About 100 miles from

in Richmond,Va. Is ther much bleeding from this extraction?

> Thanks so much, Sincerely, S.

Your options will depend on your dentist (final choice, however, is

up to you). If you do in fact have half the tooth left, I would

expect your dentist to somewhat strongly suggest that you have it

prepped and get a crown put on - in the interests of " saving the

tooth. " The other valid arguement for a crown is that extraction

will eventually cause the tooth next to it to become weaker in its

position. You would, however, be talking in the $1000 range for the

work and the crown.

I also asked mine how many years before I could expect the next

tooth to start weakening in its socket. I don't remember his

answer, but I do remember mine. It was something like " Pull it -

I'll probably be dead by then anyway. "

Extraction is quick, easy and inexpensive. However, if he is really

pushy for the other route, you can also expect him to say something

like " Well, of course the decision is yours, but ... " And he will

say it with a tone and expression implying deeply offended feelings

that you would presume to even question his professional judgement.

Been there - seen and heard both.

When I get around to making the " big itinerary " the only two

definite locations will be Seattle to start and Seattle to end.

Everything else will be based on what touristy stuff have we always

wanted to see, where are the relatives still on speaking terms with

us (or us with them), and who says " Can/would/will you stop by

here? " And whether we are on the road for 30 days or 90 days will

be based on how many say just that and where they are located. So,

consider yourself added to the list.
