Re: Darn dentist

Yuck..... You know, I never floss. My dentist never says a word about it. I brush like crazy so Im guessing that helps loads.

Btw, My dentist doesn't numb you when he does a filling unless you request it. Seriously. Its not as bad as you think. When he hits the nerve it hurts BAD but its only a second. The needle and all day numb face (or 100lb lip syndrome) is far worse.

Yeah, well imaging being back in the days of your great grandparents and have a cavity.

As for your teeth, cavities or being prone to them can be heredity. Some people get them regardless.

Jeramie,....I would switch dentists. Mine numbs you but won't give you gas unless you request it. I figure, I'm there might as well have some fun while I am at it! laugh.gif

If you know how bad I hated needles you'd understand that id rather take the pain from a slow moving drill then a stick from a needle.....

Not to mention the numb face all day.

That's precisely why I take the gas first and just about the time I start flying, I take the needle.

I hate needles too, but I hate that drill a LOT worse.

I hate the drill with a passion. I sweat like you wouldn't believe when he is in there.

He uses the large slow speed drill. You feel the pressure even when you're numb so its not much different. Suddenly its like bighting Aluminum foil. It hurts for just a split second. As soon as you flinch he stops. He then tells you, "Can you handle 2-seconds of that?"

Seriously thats about what it takes and its over. IMHO thats much better. It sounds horrible but for 3-seconds of pain versus a shot and numb face for the rest of the day, its a good trade.

Re: Darn dentist

I have had root canals done without having any of that numbing crap!! Now the dentist I go to, uses it for just about everything except cleaning! It is a lot easier to put up with a little pain that have the whole side of your head numb for hours!

I hate to have my head any number than it usually is!! LOL!!! grin.gifgrin.gif
