F... the dentist

[MTK]

Ok so along with recently having a wisdom tooth removed and my normal cleaning, I have to get a filling today AND begin the first of 4 periodontal cleanings.

F... the dentist!

ooh, I hate that guy. He's so arrogant and he's mean too.

[dmek25]

im the opposite. i love going. to me, there is nothing like the feel of your teeth, right after they have been cleaned. that, and i have only ever had 1 cavity in my entire life

Amatuer. 1 wisdom tooth removal? Try 4 at a time.

Here here. I have to go in on June to get two fillings. I can't have cereal without honey and I'm willing to pay the price.

But hey at least I get to leave work early today.

How sad is that? I'd rather sit in a dentist's chair than be at work.

This morning I went in for a crown. When the dentist was drilling she slipped and buried the drill into my tongue!

My tongue still hurts and when it happened they had to peel me off the ceiling. I can't wait to go back next week to have the permanent crown put on.

I remember when I was younger they use to novicate (sp) the mouth with a like 5 inch long needle, well maybe it wasn't that long, but it seemed that way at the time. Use to drive me insane, terrified of them and now thinking about it, I think that's why I have a phobia of needles.

I think they use a small socket wrench looking type thing now that shoots air.

Ouch man that's ridiculous.

I recently had a filling done and she started drilling before the novocaine took hold, f'ing hurt like a mother. She shot me up again and my face was numb until 9pm that night. F the dentist, just F 'em.

Do you get Novocain or just get them to drill? The few times they have drilled I've passed on the novocain and it really did not hurt very much. I wouldn't "F" my current dentist but I would have "F" my old denist.

Mine was an accident and I understand that but you are saying is BS it is because they have booked like 25 people for the same time slot and they are in a huge rush to get it done.

I shit you not while the dentist was doing my filling she had a hygienist in her grill the entire time asking her questions about another patient. I'm like hello can you focus on me for a second?

She shot me up twice. No way I could have gone with nothing. She said it was a deep filling, it's still sensitive even now a few weeks later.

here's my dentist horror story: I'm stationed in Iceland in '99. I have 4 wisdom teeth with the roots hooked under that I had to have removed. So i get strapped into the chair and THEN the dentist informs me that there is no novacaine, there's a shortage or something, no clue really. So I get to sit in that chair with this d-bag's foot practically on my chest listening to to him snap each tooth into small enough pieces to pull out. Honestly, it was the worst pain I've ever felt for the first 5-6 minutes, and then I don't remember it hurting all that bad afterward. They gave me the percocet prescription from hell and I went home looking like I had gotten hit in the face with a Buick.

Screw the novocaine they normally put you out for something like that. F'ing A man. F'ing A.
