I HATE!!!! The Dentist

[captianoats]

So I had to go into the dentist to get some work done. A couple fillings and a root planing, whatever that is. It took about 2 hours, a couple handfulls of gauze where they scraped the heck out of my gums and made them bleed, and 9 shots of novicane.

Let's just say that after 9 shots, the left side of my mouth is completely numb, my nose is numb and itches like crazy, and even my lower eyelid has become worthless. I am also completely cotton mouth from the gauze, air blower, and the spit sucker thingy that they're using.

I leave and decide to go to the grocery store on my way home for a soda and something I don't have to chew for dinner. I am so thirsty that I get a 7up as soon as I walk into the door. I try to pour it into my mouth, but I get more down my chin than I get into my mouth. The problem is I am so numb I don't know this. I go up to the deli, and tell the guy behind the counter I want "masst popapoes an gwavy" as I have clear bubbley stuff dripping out of the corner of my mouth and I keep twitching my left eye trying to figure out if it's open or not (still numb). The dumb dude starts talking to me really loudly and slowly, like I should be wearing a helmet.

Then I see a cute girl walking in front of me. She smiles at me. I try to smile back, but only the right side of my mouth works, so I shoot her a weird half smile/half open mouth drool. As this happens, the 7up comes rolling out of my mouth, dripping all over my shirt. I quickly wipe my mouth with my arm, but hit my face WAY too hard because of the no feeling issue. She turns and quickly walks away. (I consider chasing her and trying to get a sympathy 'tard hug, but changed my mind.)

I don't care for my dentist but, his assistant is hot and forgets she has ****s. That or she's got novocaine pumped into them cause she rubs my head everytime.

... a root planing, whatever that is.

Root planing, huh? Bet he needed a board stretcher and a sky hook for that.

Same reason I like getting my hair cut :fro:

I've had the root planing done. It's no picnic, that's for sure. Nothing good ever happens at the dentist. Except once, when our local idiot UPS driver accidently delivered a package addressed to me, to the dentist office, while I happened to be there getting tortured.

I have an extremely high tolerace to pain I guess. Recently had a 4 quadrant root planing with no injections. Sure i felt an occasional pinch but, not enough to need to be numbed.

I did take the gas tho'. Never refuse the gas.

 

[captianoats]

My pain tolerance is slightly lower than that of a 5 year old girl. I needed all the shots they gave me. Plus since I had a couple cavities filled when the planing was done, I might as well get my moneys worth and be fat lipped thru it all.

You know what you should have ordered instead?

ICE KWEEM!!!

coincidentally Im having the rest of my root planing tomorrow. Im hoping for some ****s sitting on my head as well.

better to have the roots scraped than have receding gums and lose those chompers. If you take care those gum measurements will go back to normal and any bleeding may lessen also.

...my checkup today was smooth..no problems

At least you get numb No matter how many injections I get I still end up feeling pain at some point. Nothing like the surprise of pain during drilling.

I've got a temporary crown on a tooth now that even the endodontist couldn't numb up. Injection after injection of novocaine and lidocane. Even shots into the upper palate and at the roots of the tooth couldn't do it. As soon as the suction wand got close to the tooth I was in agony; forget about the drill.

I couldn't smile for the rest of the day, so I'm with ya there

I swear the girls at my dentist office liked to rub their ****s on my head too. I think they enjoy giving us a thrill. They usually manage to rub them all over my arms too.

Or maybe I'm the only one who notices?

 

[captianoats]

So, think your dentist will accept my insurance?

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Or maybe I'm the only one who notices?

If I am the only one in the room that realizes this, I am definitely going to keep my mouth shut.


Umm, so to speak.

does make you wonder tho' don't it. I mean, how could she not know?

Did later on Mel Torme pick share a cab with you and invite you to a charity ball and let you sit at the "big" table?
