Friggin dentist rang me today to remind me it was time for a checkup (they fixed the last "emergency" about a year ago) Used my usual excuse "too busy - can't leave the office during business hours" The girls answer pissed me off: "we're open late mon/tues and open every 2nd sat" Farkin devastated - no excuse not to go to the dentist now :( 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooth extraction: numbat shattered the tooth and shoved it up into my sinus's had a nice hole between my jaw and my nostrils for a while there. surgery to get the bit extracted Root canal: "Ok - nerve's dead now, we can go in" Guess what - it wasn't Worst pain ever - seriously - went from numb to 25/10 on the pain scale. Almost flattened the dentist. Seriously - am a grown man and not a wimp with stuff, but from the time after that I'm in cold sweats and shaking heading towards the chair. First time I went back after the root canal (for an "emergency" toothache/filling) I was that shaken I had a bottle of scotch and half a pack of valium (had some left over from back surgery) the night before. Passed out cold on the way back to the car after the procedure :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you need to find a decent dentist then. Fark. I've always been pretty lucky with any dentist work then I guess. I had 4 teeth pulled out (1st pre-molars top and bottom) prior to getting braces and didn't feel a thing. Had a split tooth fixed on multiple occasions and also a filling, none of which I ever really remember bothering me. Never had any root canal work though.

As far as I can tell - every bit of work he'd done to me over the years has been sh*t. About 5 fillings have fallen apart. (probably 3 fillings and 2 repairs to those fillings after they spat it) Never had an issue with dentists before he reamed me over.

Almost flattened the dentist. mmm that's why my policy is to go to the dentist while off my face. doesn't help when they're trying to ask if something is painful and you're like 'oh I can't feel anything'. my dentist is decent however he doesn't do basic stuff anymore :( he hired somebody else who isn't as good.
