Dentist!!

[S-Gray]

I think when i went to another Dentist (Yes, i was too shit scared of *The Butcher*), that they put me under the Gas stuff...
FUCKSAKE NEVER AGAIN i didnt know who the fuck i was until about a day later, i was always whoosie and ended up chukcing everywhere.

When they put the mask on they said "What Flavour do you want sir?" i said somethin like Strawberry, so they put the mask on next minute the whole world was spinning round, i could hear everyone in the room so very clearly laughing and all the people near me where blurred... then i got "gassed"

urgh :/

I think they dont give out the Anast (how ever its spelt) anymore because its dangerous...

I had exactly the same experience as bids, a family trait is our teeth have roots that are *huge*, and when my back molar came out, so did part of my jaw bone. And lets face facts, thats a worse case scenario going on there Tremor. I had three of my other molars out before, and even with my gentically freakish long teeth roots, that didn't happen with the jaw bone three times before, it only happened on the fourth. Yes, I did cry, but I cry when geese chase me or when somebody dies on Neighbours, so dont let that be a marker. Yes, it did hurt (and that shards of bone bit was unsettling!) but it doesn't hurt now. And teeth pain, it just doesn't go away without intervention. Its one of those things where you have to go through pain to have it treated, but then thats it. If you don't have it treated, chances are your face swells up and you talk like a lisping hobo, because these things can turn nasty if you just leave them to fester. (happened to my old boss at safeways... Heh... but obviously sympathy... but also a smattering of "heh"...)

I know its terrifying, and I hate the dentists too, just as I hate blood tests and planes, but the quicker you get something done the quicker you can consign it to the past and start getting over it. I find its the nuerotic melt down before the event thats the hardest sometimes.

I had three of my baby teeth out with 6 injections (1 on each side). The injection hurts a little but the cracking sound when they twist it out is awful

Its like having that grinding sound in your inner ear except this time its the sound of your bones fracturing

My family suffers with hereditary gum disease so I shall probably have denture by the time I'm dead (30+)

Perhaps it would be best to have all your teeth removed and have some Ceramic ones screwed into your skull instead...

Probably sold them as child labourers or something

Admit it Tremor, if you don't go you'll do more harm than good. You will go, you might be scared, you might sit there and cry like a baby. But it's far better than the alternative*.











*i.e Having no teeth

 

[granny]

I hate going to the dentist too - all the above reasons, pain, hallucinatory experiences in the past with gas, blood etc. Oh and the "going stoned" thing is bad, I did it once, and it just made me freak and my mouth go completely dry - and getting the munchies while someone's got half a kilo of twisted metal jammed in yer gob is highly weird.

But definitely the worst thing about the entire experience now I'm not a child any more is the paying for it all at the end. What, you inflict untold pain on me and then I have to pay you several hundred English pounds too?! WTF?!"1

 

[S-Gray]

Altho thru all my Experiences.. you should ALWAYS close your eyes, ESPECIALLY when the Needle is coming out... You see that Needle you will probably fuckin faint

And keep your hands firmly gripped on the Arm rest of the Chair, when something hurts hold onto it for Dear life! heh

 

[lynchet]

Find a good Dentist

After years of not going myself I too had the weeks of constant visits as loads of teeth were filled - but hes a really good dentist --- before the injection he smears anaesthetic paste on your gums so you hardly feel a thing.

I automatically do that as soon as I sit in a dentists chair.

I have to fight hard to relax else I end up trying to crush the arm rests...

I had to have about 4 teeth out of the back of my mouth a few years back... they were done in 2's.

First 2 were fine... I went in, got gassed, woke up, mouth felt pretty much OK.
Once I woke up I felt fine, just wanted to get home and do something fun, but every time I went to stand up the nurses were all "No ! You've been gassed, you'll need to rest for a few minutes... don't try and get up too quickly".

The second 2 however... went in, got gassed, they forced out one of my teeth, then apparently I started to wake up... so they gassed me again*. Then in their attempts to get out the second tooth they shattered it into several parts... pulled out most of it but kindly left a large amount of it in there to gradually work its way out over the next few months.
When I was allowed to wake up, I felt like absolute sh*t... I could barely walk and was on the verge of being sick for hours afterwards... of course the nurses this time weren't so caring, they gave me about 2 minutes to "recover" before chucking a couple of "you're fine"s at me and forcing me out the door.

[* - When I left they gave me a bit of paper saying that the gas I was given shouldn't be taken more than once every six months... I wasn't to impressed with the whole "re-gassing" thing.]

Basicly, all you can hope is that you get a nice dentist who won't sit there with a smug grin on his face while he stabs you in the mouth.

Good luck.

Oh... and that "In Greece" comment was fantastic... nice one.

 

[Trem]

Right I have just returned from my old dentist, I have made an appointment there. I had a tooth out there when I was younger and I remember it not hurting and he also has an Audi TT so he must be good. I feel a shit load better about the whole thing now, I think a major problem was that I didn't trust the other dentist as he drove a Merc........look its my theory and I'm sticking to it

This dentist is also cheaper, £15 for a check up and £30 for fillings, I have been quoted £60 for a check up at my nearest dentist........robbing fuck tards!!

 

[mank!]

*hugs trem*

It'll be ok! :x

 

[Trem]

*gets erect*

I hope so, I'm getting pissed off with the whole thing now so surely anger is better than fear?

A great group once said "anger is a gift"

 

[mank!]

So long as you don't go into the dentists and twat him one when he goes near you, I imagine you'll be quite ok

 

[Trem]

Its a possibility tbh, hence the need for sedation

Trem:
1 word.....

VALIUM, VALIUM, VALIUM.... that's what it's there for!

on a slightly diff note I would rather brunt the pain than have a general... like I think dys said he had earlier... the thought of a GA fucks me up coz of that one in every 1,000 people have a nasty reaction to it and don't wake up :s

Hmm I had a rather nice incident from a local though... was just having a filling put in...... had a local.... my mouth was all numb.... was talking to some m8s whilst chomping a bag of crips when suddenly everyone staated looking at me wierd... I look down and blood is gushing out my mouth... can't feel a thing but must have taken half my cheek off

heh

 

[Summo]

When I was younger I had to have general for some dentistry-craft and they gave me gas. I was one of the most upleasant experiences. EVEN TO THIS DAY certain smells remind of of it and make we want to retch.

Lesson is: Needles are your friend.

 

[Miles_Binck]

there are really 2 options here

1. Get a referral to a hospital where they can take them out properly under general anaesthetic if necessary (my younger brother was piss-scared of going to the dentist and needles so he got about 4 teeth removed under general anaesthetic, they even unhinged his jaw to get a better view)

or

2. Take it like a man, go to the dentist, get the injections and have that fucker ripped out. Remember, "No Pain, No Gain"

There are worse ways to die, tbh.

I've never had to have a filling or anything yet, so I'm very lucky. However, when I cut my arm open by putting it through a window I had local anaesthetic when they stitched it up and it was bleak as fuck. Every now and then you could feel it stinging and stuff, was quite freaky.

slightly sidestepping that general was my fav ever. was great fun, would do it again if offered the choice between a local and a full. was fun listening to my mum telling the nurse my address bits...got as far as "queens hill drive" before everything went echoy, and i think i got the nurse in the face with meh foot.

i suffer from dental problems, mainly overcrowding and overbite but there are a few other probs, hence the need for the removal of teeth.

I think your pick up technique needs some fine tuning

That happened to me once - without anaesthetic - I bit thru me tongue while eating a cheese sandwich, absolute agony (Trem will confirm that it was disgustingly gory - tho he will also say it was funny as fuck ) I went to the chemist and said " hath ye goth anythinth for thith?" and she nearly passed out! I went on holiday the next day and talked like a thpazh all week.

 

[wolfeeh]

heh

this is one of the funniest threads i've yet read

so dude, here's the skinny....

like munkey, overcrowding and overbite...extractions and brace being the order of the day... first four teeth i ever had removed... absolutel HORRENDOUS agony... worst pain of my life... i know this bit isn't fun, but basically the dude got done for malpractice, so.... next 6 extractions... went in terrified... but no pain. note: NO PAIN. from real decent dentist. not drunken twat. *important. lol

like er... damini? i have excessively large roots, and it didn't prove to be a problem... if your teeth are rotten they're more likely to shatter, so watch it

dude beware of audi TT drivers... it's an incredibly lame car, and i seriously would not swap my corolla for it... something else maybe. but not a TT... and being "cheaper" than everyone else isn't exactly a good indicator... it might tell you something?

so moral of the story? yes you'll be scared, not it won't hurt. much

Valium is the answer to all life's problems

 

[Trem]

I like valium, I had some off my nan once when I had my "mental" issues, valium is great.

This new dentist is my mum and dads dentist and they swear by him. Absolutely never felt any pain ever...............they say, he's also got plenty of stories, like the bloke who cleaned his teeth with Ajax :/

I have no fear now, like I said I'm sick of worrying and now its anger so I will be ok...........















..............maybe

Good Luck.
