Eww the dentist!

So I get to go to the dentist today to fix a broken molar... I loathe the dentist - I may be a masochist but mouth pain is no walk in the park for me!

Who wants to take my place?

*whimpers*

I'll go! I fucking hate the dentist, yet I need a cleaning and probably a cavity looked after. I can never get the damned taste of that toothpaste they use. Its all chalky and makes me want to vomit. Eh, ask the guy to knock ya out. If a patient is too worried about biting they might give ya some funny gas to help lighten ya up! Worth a shot! Goodluck to ya! Hope it goes well.
 
They always give me gas and numbing stuff before needles cause I am petrified is needles.. I wish I could be knocked out cold tho so I can't hear, see or feel a thing and wake up wheb its over!
 
Ditto! I hate being awake while he/she probes my damned mouth. The worst was when inhad to have a wisdom tooth drilled out. They put some metal contraption and a green guard in my mouth to keep it open. I could smell the tooth as they dremmeled it away. I never want to have that done again. Or just knock me the fuck out. Seriously, everything tasted like burnt tooth for a week.
 
You are on your own with this one, Sista! Don't like dentist...nope... not at all...

but I do like the end results. So I suffer through visits every 4 months! (duh...)
 
I never had pain while I was at the dentist. I've never been on gas, all I had was an injection with a needle, but that doesn't hurt.
Either your dentist sucks or you're way to focused on the pain.. :)
 
so I was in and out in a flash... They took an extra and said you have two choices - root canal or extraction .. I chose the lesser of two evils and had it yanked. They put numming gel where they were going to stick the needle, gave me gas and then pricked me with the needle and waited a good long while for it to kick in - took less than 2 minutes to yank the tooth out.

I focus on the pain WAY too much..

and FP, I hate dentists normally - this one took over my old dentist's practice and it was the first time meeting him. He was eye candy tho and great "chairside" manner.

I'm going for a cleaning on the 11th of October.. his hygienist is super sweet..
 
Glad it worked out for ya. I'm afraid what my insurance may or may not cover next time I head in... Ugh.
 
I have a very vivid imagination and my issues have more to do with the sounds I hear. And a couple of times a former dentist hit a nerve that was not deadened. So now I feel "that pain" at times... It is an emotional fear... a phobia, all unnecessary. In my younger years I had some bad experiences....

My current dentist is a gentle older lady who talks probably a bit too much while I'm in the chair. (wish I had one that was eye candy, might make it easier to go.)

I am fighting periodontal disease (not there yet, but close) so more than normal checkups required until I can get my gums in good shape.
 
I love the dentist! LOL! The only one i didn't like was when I was nine and had an abscessed tooth. He was just plain mean about it. But I have lucked out on getting really wonderful ones post that. Very sweet people, all of them. I can't stand mouth pain, fuck i went to the ERfor what i thought was a toothache (turns out it was a sinus infection, but my roots are abnormally long and just this side of being in the sinus, so any pressure in there pushes on the tooth)!

I always see it as "Well they will numb it, give me good drugs, and the pain for a day or so will be NOTHING like I am experiencing now!" If it is for a routine check up or cleaning, then I just look at it s a very relaxing time while someone probes my mouth. :wink:

I will say I am a freak and love the taste of the polishing tooth stuff, lol! The easiest extractions were the four I had to have pulled for my braces, back inthe day (overcrowded mouth). The puled them a month after the braces had been on (denist was floor 3 orthodontist floor five, so just bustled tween them. First the otrho to have the wire taken out) and the roots were easier to pull out. Four teeth in like, 5 minutes! Then back up to the ortho to have the wire put back on, lol!
 
^You just made me puke bro. I imagine someone liking that fucking paste and I can taste it again and want to gag!!! Ugh!!! *Involuntary shiver*
