Hello, I had the most unpleasant day yesterday, and here is a little story for you. I went to the local dentist since i had one tooth that had splintered. When i entered the dentist room, it was time to get some treatment (i hate dentist). The thing is that the dentist for the day was two students and one other "real" dentists was present too. The real dentist and the two students started to examine my mouth, they found 4 tooths to operate, and one really bad case that was bit rotten. I had 2 holes, one rotten teeth and one wisdom teeth that had to be removed. When i sat there i tought about it, about the fact that i had not been in dentist for 10 years. I was scared shitless, when the first student was putting in the anaesthesia with a needle, she shot me in the wrong place, then the real doctor did it after few tries. They opened up the whole tooth, removed some of the gum and suddently the other student started to cry and left the room. I was like wtf? Then the doctor said: "oh shes bit sensitive, this tooth is rotten to it's roots and we need to perform a rootcanal treatment. See this here, it's very bad it goes right in the jaw bone". At this point i was horrified... The doctor left the room to get the other student back, the one that was crying. Now i was sitting in the room alone with the student that was still all over my tooth without the real doctor. I was thinking, if i survive this ordeal i will be nice and visit a dentist every year for a check up... It hurt even with the heavy anaesthesia, it was really awful and when the real doctor returned, she noticed that the student had done something wrong. I don't know the word in english but it was not a good thing, they patched up the tooth, gave me some heavy medication and pain killers and told me to come back again to continue the treatment. Now i must say, none of my teeth was hurting when i went to the doctors and now they hurt like hell. I quess i should have done this along long time ago to avoid the rootcanal thing. So do your time at the dentist, before it's too late and you will be operated by two students that start to cry, heh heh.
Oh you poor thing!!!!!! I hate dentists too. I once went 7 years between visits, never again. That's always a bad sign if someone cries at seeing something in your mouth. Hopefully they can get you fixed up soon with all your teeth.
Yep, at that crying point i almost started crying my self, cause i was so confused wtf was going on heh heh.
sad, funny, encouragement, you have to make movie with this story. I'll go to dentist this afternoon...(
yup babies, always clean ur teeth two times in a day, use zigzag brush and floss to clean out the space between ur two teeth, gud luck
I have a hole in one of my top teeth . But the situation is not very bad . I seldom go to dentist . I don't hate dentist but I don't like facing them .
I hear ya on that one. In fact it is even more important than that to keep your teath healthy because it can cause death in some cases.
I know your pain, bein in the military we dont get the best doctors/dentists all the time. I've got a few horror stories myself, no root canals though, but definitely clean your teeth man. Lay off the soda.
i also once had a root canal treatment and the dentists spent over an hour trying to take out the tooth but it didnt come out and they had to use an electric thing to break the tooth....one of my worst experience! and the needle in the gums....argh
I love people that hate dentists...Those always have lots of things to do... Learn one thing from me...Teeth related things NEVER, BUT NEVER get better..Although the small pain you had for a couple of days disappeared, the problem is still there and will continue to develop and ending up with broken teeth that some times the only treatment is the extraction. If you visit the dentist at least once a year you may prevent some serious problems and save money. Yes i said, SAVE money...Because it's cheaper just to put a small restoration at a teeth that began to decay, then to perfom a rootcanal treatment... Think about it...
What country are you from? I noticed the extreme lack of care in different counties as for their teeth are concerned. Your teeth have allot to do with your appearance if you have bad teeth people automatically think you are low class so just clean your teeth you don't even need to go to the dentist. Or just go to Mexico to get a cleaning once a few years
Now i hate to go back to the dentist.. my last visit last 2 years.. I need to removed my 1 tooth due for vehicle accident.. I dont want to see the pain the injection.. Its simple brush your teeth 3 times a day..
flossing is pretty important too..i know when my wisdom teeth were all the way in and one of them rotted it was probably one of the worst pains of my life, i was sleeping like 1-2 hours a night til they gave me some pain killers and ripped them out like the next day.
