Yes, I used the word suck. I'm pulling the 2nd grade card. The dentist has to be on my top 3 list of phobia. I hate the dentist. The sounds, the smells, the fact that I cannot see a thing they are doing. Ugh. The dentist and I do not get along. Especially after today.
I drove in. There were no parking spots! Thanks to the piles of snow every where. After driving around for 10 minutes keeping my fingers crossed a spot finally opened up! Great start! The receptionist, always a dear. Very pleasant and can make anyone laugh. The hygienist called me in. She first started scolding me right away. What?! She got mad because I hadn't been there since October! Isn't it every 6 months?! It's only been 3! Give it a rest. You are lucky I even show up. After today, I never want to go back! He looked at my lovely chipped tooth. I called it. Root Canal. The fireworks went off! I was right. Now I get to schedule that tomorrow. Can't wait for that one! After he looked at the crater in my mouth, the hygienist (life ruiner) started a deep cleaning session. A what?! She said you are suppose to get them every 2-3 years. Today was my lucky day.
First off she did a regular cleaning. Fine. I watched some cooking show on the Food Network. Next came the pain. She got out an electric drill and started chipping away. Ok, maybe not a drill but still. It was basically a scrapper that was motorized. She dug it deep in my gums and in between by teeth. I have never felt pain like this. Contractions were better then this. I felt like I was in a horror movie. Was this going to turn in to Saw XXIV! I thought I would need a blood transfusion after the hack job she preformed. After my bottom teeth were done she headed north. At this point I think I was in so much pain, I didn't even notice nor care. The noise wasn't helping either either! The sound was like nails on a chalkboard. It was horrifying. I finally caught a glimpse of myself in the TV screen. Wow. I had blood drops on my face and on my lovely little bib they hang around your neck. Again, Saw XXIV! A few times she wasn't even paying attention. She caught my gum because she was watching "Take Home Chef" and she seemed to be really interested in what he was making. Hello! Patient here! Pay attention! She was getting ready to move to the last section and was like "Oh my goodness, I forgot to numb you!" YOU THINK?!?!?! No, I have just been squirming, probably whimpering and flailing around for fun. Seriously?! NUMB ME! At that point she just kept going. After my hack job she said "See you next time!" If there is a next time! She then wrote me up an lovely little card to give to my endotontist on how to deal with my root canal. Another visit, another reason not to like them! I didn't even see the actual dentist more then 2 minutes.
