Ugh...
Recurring issue with a crown...
So... I lost a crown some time ago...
got it replaced...
and continue to have issues with it....
This didn't happen at my dentist...
Do you remember when nurses wore uniforms
like this one above?
Well... I can't vouch for the garters and the thigh highs...
but I do mean the cap, white dress, and white nursing shoes.
Everyone wears scrubs now...
...except one dentist I know...
he wears a camouflage shirt...
whether it's hunting season or not.
I like the idea that people wait until they have an
approaching dental appointment to suddenly
become flossing maniacs...
... as if that is going to make a difference.
Evidently there is more than one way to skin a cat...
This has to be taught in a class in dental school...
pack a load of hardware in their mouths...
then, talk to them.
Do you have any dentist horror stories??

Oh hell yes I do.

I can go to the dentist now without taking xanax. It took me a long, long time to be able to do that.
Hey you... I read your post and left a comment. Having a good dentist is everything. I think they shape what our experiences with dentists in our adult lives will be.

I've had my history w/crowns... some were painful--I think the dentist I had didn't wait long enuf for the local to take effect... one dentist told my mom never to bring me back.. I big his finger....I was a kid..... The last crown I had was painless...
ReplyDeleteHi there, Chris... I had a dentist once upon a time... that I was confident was giving himself the injections into the fat of his thumb... instead of into my gums... and he would proceed when HE felt no pain...
DeleteHAH!!
Some dentists... like some teachers... are just jerks.
How are things with you!!

Some crackers up there, Shoes :)
ReplyDeleteI bit my dentist once. Not on purpose, you understand.
Crackers?
DeleteIs that anything like 'honkys??'
HAR!!!!
So... you are saying that the time you bit your dentist, it wasn't in a fit of passion???

Nope. My dentist is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Steven...
DeleteA good dentist is much like a good proctologist... you don't want any lingering reminders that they have been there... and preferably, small hands...
~shoes~
Yes I do. I think I'll blog about it and mention your blog too.
ReplyDeleteHey you... I read your post about the speech that Rich gave... I was looking for your dentist visit post... but didn't find it... did you ever write it??

I can relate to this one for sure. I've had my share of dental issues the last few years. Cost me a fortune even with a decent discount.
ReplyDeleteHey you... how is all? Dental work must be a form of torture....
DeleteAnd WAY too expensive!!!!!
How are things with you?

My dentist is a woman and I'm still scared. Now, why is that?
ReplyDeleteYour fears of dental work must go far beyond what enjoyable benefits could be derived... ;-)
DeleteHow are you doing, my friend???

Tired but breathing. (Not butt breathing... haha) ;)
DeleteTired but breathing. (Not butt breathing... haha) ;)
DeleteWhat does your dentist say? lol And I like that first joke. I'm one of the few people who don't fear the dentist. I just don't like how close they get to me when they work on my teeth. That's the worst part.
ReplyDeleteI know some people that freak out at the idea of going to the dentist... they most certainly DO invade ones space... don't they??
DeleteThat is one of the bad parts of going to the dentist...
Have you guys gotten settled in to your new location?
