Dentist on the playa?
Dentist on the playa?
Does Rampart or EMT have a dentist on call? Last year I knew of two guys who left the playa due to tooth pain. I was considering bringing in a dental chair and a dentist this year.

I recommend you speak to ESD about it:Eddie wrote:Does Rampart or EMT have a dentist on call? Last year I knew of two guys who left the playa due to tooth pain. I was considering bringing in a dental chair and a dentist this year.

I have a dentist's appointment tomorrow. Nothing like flying or changing altitude to bring on latent issues!

I personally know several people who were a pain in the ass last year also. There was no on duty proctologist on playa either, so you're going to have to decide which way to tilt that chair.

I prefer to take care of tooth issues "in house". At my camp we shall have a substantial amount of tools and different sorts of anesthesia local or otherwise.

I will have a Swiss Army knife with me. I am confident that I could remove a gall bladder with it, and would certainly give a tooth extraction a shot. I've never done one before, but honestly, how hard could it be?

Yes, but as much Moxie as Sham has, he's living in the Swiss Army past, not the Leatherman present. Those pliers rock!
