My dental adventure

[Alvin_Wilson]

Well, I was flossing on Christmas night, getting ready for bed. We had just came home from having a great meal at my mother-in-laws, which consisted of a ham, prime rib, and the assortment of vegetables and side dishes. So, there I am, standing in front of the mirror in my bathroom flossing. When all of a sudden, this big piece of what I thought was prime rib, comes flying out of my mouth. It hits the sink and I hear: ding, ding, tink, tink, tink!!! WTF, I just broke off half of my freaking tooth.

So, I make an appointment with my dentist for today. I get there and she tells me that the tooth is irrepairable. It has to be extracted!! She numbs my gums and proceeds to give me the injection. The entire left side of my face is so numb that I felt like it was hanging down to my lap. She clamps something on my tooth, says to me "you may feel a little pressure" and proceeds to rip my freaking tooth out of my mouth. I felt no pain at all.

The best part of this: she prescribed me Vicodin. My brothers and sisters of the JCF: I am feeling real good right about now.

Congrats. I'm immune to all known painkillers, and have two partially shattered teeth on the bottom in the back, and my wisdom teeth are pushing their way up at an angle, which is the primary reason the others split.
I'd go to a dentist, but one of us would die that day

I'm about to have 2 wisdom teeth removed. Not looking forward to it all. Last time I had this done the dentist gave me some pain pills, but I didn't take them. For some reason I refuse to take pills unless I am in such pain I have no choice.

They should put you to sleep for the wisdom teeth. Mine did. He actually gave me the option of Novocain or a lights out cocktail. He talked me into the cocktail. I woke up feeling pretty good.

i feel for all those people that have a fear of the dentist, i got 5 teeth removed for braces........ if she hadn't been a really hot girl i would have punch her, felt like she was raping my mouth or something

I pulled a crown out this morning when I was flossing too.

I just got back from my dentist, who put it back in.

There was another foreign patient there who didn't speak any Japanese, so I offered to be an interpreter.

My dentist said,
"Thanks! The crown replacement and cleaning are on the house"

My dentist hires only the cutest dental assistants, which is another incentive for me to get my teeth cleaned often

My dentist removed my wisdom teeth when I was 16.The top 2 and the bottom right were out in 20 minutes.Bottom right took 15 more shots of novacaine,the dentist putting his knee in my chest,saying"Maybe we should have gone to the oral surgeon on this one" while my jawbone cracked.Dental work is a crapshoot............

Same here. I had to have all 4 pulled at once and I told my dentist that he better send me to somone that would put me out. They put me on the gas first. I stayed awake as long as I could on the gas and had a pretty good trip. All I remember is them putting the needle in my arm and then I woke up about 5 hours later at my house. I have no memory of getting up and leaving the office, the ride home, or having any conversations with my mom. To this day she still won't tell me what we talked about on the ride home.

Seems like all Doctors do that here, One of the Dental assistants emails me pretty regularly because she wants to study english.

I yanked out 4 regular teeth and 2 wisdomteeth in two sessions. The worst part is the fucking soreness afterwards, and the chipmunk look you get.
Now I'm gonna have braces for 2 years, then i'll have some sort of jaw surgery, then braces for 6 more months.

Best part is, government pays for everything! Socialist governments rule!(except for the taxes)

Vicodin rules

I went to the oral surgeon to get my wisdom teeth yanked. I had a butcher for a dentist as a kid and I don't want to mess around with that stuff anymore. My wisdom teeth were pretty bad. He had to "smash" them out.

I remember going to the butcher dentist when I was like 8 and they put me in a chair and said "We need to remove 2 teeth. They will be easy and most people don't need any gas or shots because they won't have roots. Ok?" I was a kid so I said "Ok". They yanked those two teeth roots and all no pain killer. I could go on...

In jr high we found a great dentist and I have been with him ever since, but he just retired. Ugh!

[shadowcat]

I got all 4 wisdom teeth removed at once, I insisted on getting send to a real dental clinic where they put you to sleep...
when I woke up after all was done I felt pretty high... started to sing and asked for a guitar.

Didn't get one though, but they did good work, as I didn't look like a chipmunk at all afterwards.
