Cracked Tooth, No Dentist

OK, so here we are, out in the middle of nowhere. We are bird-hunting about 18 miles outside of Arlington, Oregon, who’s only claim to fame is that Doc Severinsen couldn’t wait to leave and take over the Tonight Show Band. It is truly a high-plains desert.

We are the guests of the Olex Preserve and are having a beautiful experience. During lunch, one of my fellow bird hunters cracks a tooth on a piece of shot that remained in our pheasant soup lunch. So our trip is over, we need to head back to civilization and fix him up. The pain in his face says it all.

So we stop at the first drug store we see, a quaint little store from the days when all shop-owners new you by name. The druggist/owner suggests that he try Dentemp OS. So he buys it and the rest of us head over for a replacement meal. He is keen to try the product and relieve the pain.

Within 30 minutes, he not only says he is ready to go back and finish our hunt, but he is even able to eat! The stuff worked so well that he was even able to make it through the weekend on his temporary dental repair and go in for a regular dental visit to get the tooth fixed. That Dentemp OS saved our trip, and my buddy’s tooth!
