Yesterday, I had a dentist appointment. That's normal.
It's my fourth in about a month. That's not normal.
BUT I have an excuse!
Quite simply, everything past the first visit is NOT my fault.
Observe.
First visit: "Moooooommmm... my tooth hurts, could you take me to the dentist?"
"Yeah, sure."
(one month later at the dentist office) "Well it looks like you've got a bit of a cavity, don't you know how to brush your teeth?"
"Yes, I do."
"Well appearently you don't because your gums bleed when I stab them with this metal spike."
*stab stab*
OW! stressed
...
"Yeah... well what can you do about the very PAINFUL cavity?"
"Well, I don't think we should do anything to it until we take care of that plaque on your front teeth. So we'll pencil you in for when the dental hygenist comes back from her vacation."
"Okay, when's that."
"Let's see... A month from tomorrow." (she says with a sadistic smile. ) twisted
Second visit: (scheduled for 11:00 AM) "Moooooooommmmm. Pick up the phone... Where are you? It's 11:30..."
"Sorry hunny, I fell asleep. When's that appointment again?"
"About 15 minutes from 2 hours ago."
"Oh... We'll schedule another then." smile
Third visit: (2 weeks later) "Owwwwwww..."
"Okay then! let's see those pearly whites!"
(1.5 hours later after using the metal spike and hook.)
"Can we take care of my cavity now?..."
"Cavity? What cavity?"
"The one I don't want and came to get rid of."
"Oh. Let's pencil you in for the 25th, you're gums are too sensitive right now." smile
stressed ...
"Owwww..." cry *whimper*
Fourth visit: "Open wide... Wider... Wider... Good."
(drill, drill, drill)
" That cavity was a little deep so if it still hurts next week, come back for a root canal." biggrin
"garlge gargle mumble drip!" (Root canal!)
"What? I can't understand you. Just call us with any questions when the novicane wears off." biggrin
...
"Uck ou..." mad
"You're welcome." smile
... crying
And now I know that cavity fillings are rough and grainy, like spackle.
OMFG! eek They spackled my teeth!
...
I loathe dentists.
...
And the cavity was bordering non-existance when I first came in.
...
Now my tooth tastes like dentist and feels like sand paper. crying
