There is a dental college, it is 75 miles and about 2 hours from here, yeah,
I should look into that.
Everything work wise got really tight about Feb 1st, so don't know when I'm
going to have a spare 5er much less gas.
At least it isn't hurting the last few days, just most of it broke away,
though anything sweet like fresh natural fruit juice makes it hurt.

It may be already! Chronic tooth infection can lead to systemic
chronic inflammation, which is implicated in heart disease. Get it
pulled!
Do you have a dental school within driving distance? I just had an
extraction done for $96. That's less than I know you've spent on
camera goodies the past month or two! :-)
I'd been nursing this thing along for years, but was getting fairly
regular headaches -- several a week -- on that side. No headaches
since the tooth is gone! I should have done it long ago, but losing
my first tooth was just too much a reminder of mortality...
It's a shame that dental care is treated separately from other health
care. As one of the supervising dentists at the school told me,
"Dental health IS physical health!"
