Dentist

[Guest guest]

Colonoscopies, dentists..Dave Barry..what next? lol

Heidi....I know waht you're saying. I remember trying to keep my mouth open

for a root canal....my jaw kept " clicking " . Can't explain it...I'd have it

open wide and I could hear the jaw just click every once in awhile.

I also can't stand the patronizing dental assistant...open wide...good job.

Okay spit...good job. I asked her..do you work on a lot of little children?

Oh yes..how did you know. Just a guess...telling me good job!! like I

colored in the lines or something.

I had to get dentures made and when the dentist put the mold in my mouth, I

mentioned to her that I had a very small mouth (tho' Dave would beg to

differ..lol) She assured me that that's okay they'll use a small adult denture

mold.

I swear even that was way too big. I said ..don't you have a large or medium

child size? She finally got the mold in and said..wow, you do have a small

mouth!!!!! Shocked. Duh!! It's my mouth, I should know. She kept telling

the girls...oh poor thing....her mouth is so small.. Meanwhile, trying to

wrestle the mold out of my mouth. Kept repeating to herself and the assts. oh

poor thing..I'm sorry...Geesh....

dentists are worse than the drs sometimes.

Take that tylenol...you'll probably need it.

Hugs and good luck heidi...

Thanks a...

It sure has been an adventurous week. Next week should be a little calmer

maybe? I have the eye Dr., my Physiatrist (for pain shots), a bone scan,

results of neuro psych tests, possible results of biopsy from this week....oh

what fun!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeee......anyway, NO DENTIST!! I always thought they

were a little off to want to stab people with sharp instruments anyway. I

remember having those molds made that you speak of, what a nightmare....all I

did

was gag. I can barely get through x-rays. Oh and if the dental assistant

smells like smoke and perfume...omg....that's awful!!!! Usually the Dentist

doesn't....ok, I don't need to scare myself anymore now....I'm good until the

17th. One time I had to have 2 teeth pulled and bone graft? (SP) ...what a

fiasco. I was given 4 valium, only to have me wide awake. I was at a

specialists office. They gave me a comforter, a bear, a cd player, another

valium,

a large amount of novacaine. I was out of work for 2 days. When I went

back, I could only work half a day as my face swelled up from being on the

phone. I was allergic to the pain meds. It was awful. I swore I scared small

children!!! Ok nightmares....my jaw is starting to feel better now though, and

I'm glad to hear your stories too! Thanks for sharing.

Heidi,

In 1994, Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I had three crown

extentions. It took 4 hours of continous work. When I left,I was to

take two rights and drive 45miles on I85N to get to my exit. I took

two rights and entered I285W. Drove one mile exited and attempted to

maneuver Spaghetti Junction once again. I missed I85 again and

continued one mile on I285E exited and attempted again. This time I

succeeded to get I85, but south. I drove one mile exited and the was

able to get onto I85 north. The worse part is I drive this area

almost everyday and know these roads.

I don't know how traffic there is on Wed. before Thanksgiving, in

Atlanta it is HELL. It took me over an hour and a half to drive

approx. 4 miles and I was starting to panic because the feeling was

coming back and I should have already arrived home by this time.

I had never had this done before and had no idea it was to chisel

bone from my jaw. I looked like Popeye for at least a week.

I guess they should have told me to bring a driver, but I didn't

have one anyway.

I don't think I should volunteer to give anyone a ride home from the

dentist.
