Dentists - scam artists

Post Reply New Topic

I've had exactly one fun dentist's appointment when I was a child, I believe it was the late eighties, and I got laughing gas. I remember it tasting like hotdogs, and everything around me was interesting. After that, the dentists appointments went downhill since the needle came into vogue.

I hate going to the dentist. I gag easily and hate having to bite down on those bite plates they use when I get X-rays. I also hate the saliva sucker. Most of all, I hate the endless sales pitches my dentist gives to sell various items.

I despise dentists with a passion one should really reserve for more rigeriously amusing activities, none-the-least due to my crippling phobia of having very sharp, moving metal objects rammed into my mouth but because of the condescending attitudes I've encountered.

About 2 years ago, I went for a routine checkup and it turned out I needed a grand total of eight fillings, along with two extractions from my lower jaw on account of two of my back molors growing in horizontally.
Anyways, when I went in for my first batch of fillings-four in each jaw- the dentist working on me would NOT stop lecturing me about my lack of dental care and kept moaning that 'kids these days never take pride in their oral health'.

What could I do other than just lie there, half baked from Novicane whilst he rammed a drill into my mouth?

Well, when I went for my second lot of fillings, I more or less told him this: "Spare me the lecture and I'll spare you the agony of having your pinkie finger bitten off."

He moe or less shut up and afterwards, I got transfared to the local private dental hospital for my extractions.
The contrast was stark-the two female nurses helping me were a pair of saints and they held my hand through my last extraction when the needle was put in the wrong place and the anaestia wore off 20 minutes early.

Still, I'd only go back if it couldn't be avoided. Those extractions were tramatic to say the least and even now, I can still feel blood coming from the empthy sockets even though my wisdom teeth have since come up in their place.

Incidentially, I may have to get my wisdom's pulled as they've been paining me these last few weeks.

I actually had an abusive dentist.

He hit me to stop me from screaming.

My mom pointed out my GI Joe looked like him so I threw GI Joe away. (IT was one of those 8 inch super joes at the end)

I was horrible at dentists for years untill I had 8 teeth pulled in the course of two weeks to make room for braces. and they always were surprised by how long my roots sere.

My dad used top refuse me having too many x rays because of teh radiation.

I want to refuse them now because of the cost.

Damn bullies theyre just like auto mechanics.

Ahh my teeth are fine so I rarely go to the dentist anymore.

Remember people:
Beer + Teeth = Tooth decay
Rum (or favourite spirits) + Teeth = Less microscopic life in your mouth.

Alcohol = antibiotic. yay!
Beer = full of sugar. Oh noes...

Am I the only one anal about their teeth?

It drives me nuts to feel anything on or between my teeth.

I've been known to floss in public!

Maybe you guys oughta take a microscopic look at what is crawling around on your teeth making your gums bleed. You might not change the way you feel about the dentist, but you might change the way you feel about brushing and flossing.

With that, I think I'll go brush my teeth now.
