From the article:
"I've tried to get in at 30 dentists over the last eight years but have never been able to find one to take on government patients," he said.
He has only two teeth left in the top row of his mouth."
I kind of think this is baloney: he may have hit one roadblock in the government-assisted program and cried wolf and took overly-drastic measures.
I'm quite certain England's public health program is far more comprehensive and less costly as it is a socialized medicine system- low co-payments and much more available to them than in this country.
I can also bet that the guy broke off root tips in the jaw in some of the 13 teeth- thus setting himself up for future infections and greater trouble than he had to begin with.
