i always wondered why a person would want to be a dentist...after all: it's not like anyone likes to go to the dentist 
, but i must admit dentists
have gotten much better now days at not hurting people so maybe they aren't the saddists that they used to be.
HOWEVER...after just spending 2 hours with the dental hygenist getting a deep cleaning on just half of my mouth so far, methinks the old saddist dentists have now become dental hygenists!
she did numb my mouth with the same stuff the dentist used that i didn't feel a thing with and when she had me screaming in pain she gave me more until i couldn't feel to even swallow, but somehow i could still feel her with her water torture instrument going all the way up into my eyeball. the pain was bad enough, but like i said she numbed me so much i couldn't feel to swallow so as the hygenist and the girl who was supposed to suck up my spit were having a lovely conversation about camping; the spit sucker would get sidetracked and i'd start choking on the water going down my gullet and have to sit up and try to survive the drowning.
and lordy knows just what she did, but the numbzit is just barely starting to wear off and i can feel the pain in that half of my mouth already.
then to top it off, laying in that chair for 2 hours, other than to bolt up to choke to death, i can feel my back starting to protest loudly.
needless to say i'm taking the rest of the evening off to wallow in my misery and do some good whining
.
as i checked out of the office the smiling receptionist (another saddist obviously) cheerily asked me when i wanted to set up an appointment to get the other half of my mouth cleaned.
i told her October....she looked at me odd (and that took the smile off her face
), but she
realized that i was serious and obviously in no mood to be messed with so in october i go in again.
i'm hoping by then i'll have gotten up some courage (or forget the experience a bit) to go at it again.
ya know, we put animals to sleep to deep clean their teeth---i've always thought we are kinder to our animals than to people!
