I have an appointment tomorrow at the "House of Pain"

 

I lost a filling and my tooth cracked  . . . .it's gotta come out.

 

Tooth pain can be a bitch and this tooth is a 800mg of Advil bitch.

 

I know dentistry has come a long way , My mom used to tell me stories of the Dentist using Ether to knock her out so he could fill a cavity and it wasn't an exact science. Random amounts  of either and sometimes she would wake up while he was still drilling. 

 

I guess I'm a sissy when it comes to the Dentist . . .but I have never been to the Dentist without experiencing some pain.

 

Maybe tomorrow will be different I'm gonna order up a double dose of Nitrous Oxide and a Valium chaser (the Ol lady will be driving so no worries there) I just hope the dental assistant's are hot  so my thoughts will be in a better place . . lol

Don't you guys use local anesthetics in the states? It's what we use here in the UK and I've never felt the slightest bit of pain. They inject it directly onto the nerve and it numbs half of your face.

If you feel pain at the dentist's surgery, I suggest you find an alternative dentist...

As Benrith says, the local anaesthetic should numb the area being worked on.

I often find the jab of the needle the most uncomfortable part of treatment.

My daughter lets the dentist work on her teeth with no freezing. I don't know how she can do that but she says the pain is really bad if she gets freezing.

Nobdy likes the dentist. I've had a cracked tooth for about 4 years I need to deal with at some point but it hasn't caused me any pain "yet". Part of my hesitation is the discomfort but even more than that is the cost. Those fuckers make tons more than doctors and dental insurance is a waste of money because it doesn't cover anything but cleanings and a very small portion of the other work.

 

My wife had a broken jaw from a bike accident not long after we were married. Because her jaw had to be wired shut for a couple months it's caused all kinds of long-term dental problems including about a dozen root canals. They're about $1,200 each and insurance doesn't cover them.

I made it out OK the only real extraction was to my wallet in the amount of $460.00

 

After waiting an hour and a half (the room with the Nitrous Oxide was being used for a 4yr old and they were taking it slow which is OK  . . . kids come first) i fell asleep waiting and a very fine looking Dental Hygienist woke me up . . ..  I was hoping she was the Dentist  . ..  :whistle:  I took the Valium and got the xrays and was seated in "the chair of pain". They put the Nitrous mask on and since I made it known I wasn't a willing patient I think the gas level was turned up a bit. Soon I was levitating from the chair and when it was time for the shot to numb things up I didn't give a shit what they did.

When the Dentist said "Ok brace yourself" I started to get concerned but then he said "just kidding were done" Hmmmm . ..   that was easier than I anticipated.

I tried to tell them not to turn the gas off but with my mouth and half my face numb they didn't understand . . . and sign language didn't work either  . . . I was cleared for landing and I arrived back in the chair from my trip with a mouth full of gauze and the Dental Hygienist asking me if I needed anything  . . . .  . .I said yes but the wife is out front but I could come back when she got off work . . lol   The scariest part of the whole ordeal was probably the wife driving me home. With a speed limit of 75 mph she was obliged to go 80 mph so instead of 

white knuckling it all the way home I put the seat back and fell asleep . . . .after all I didn't want to be late for my visit with the Hygienist  (In my dreams)

Dude I have a story for you! When I go to the dentist to have anything done to numb pain it takes 13-17 shots to numb my nerves! Just so you know there is someone out there with a worse situation! Good luck!

I made the best of it and tried to find the good things that were there and focus on them. I knew that the bastards were picking my pocket while I was floating in that chair and I couldn't say or do anything about it and at the time I didn't really care I just knew that the pain that tooth was causing would be gone the next day.

 

Which brings me back around to addressing the post you made earlier

 

Nobdy likes the dentist. I've had a cracked tooth for about 4 years I need to deal with at some point but it hasn't caused me any pain "yet". Part of my hesitation is the discomfort but even more than that is the cost. Those fuckers make tons more than doctors and dental insurance is a waste of money because it doesn't cover anything but cleanings and a very small portion of the other work.

Dental insurance is the most corrupt and misleading of all medical related insurance I know of and since  you dealt with insurance matters you would know first hand.  I have a friend who is a dentist (his practice is to far away for me to see him although with what I'm being charged it might become the smart thing to do financially) and he is clearing $30,000 to $50,000 a month!!! even if that number is being embellished at $30k that would be a killing.  It's these types of scandalous fees that bring about cries for change in the medical profession and the Doctors and Dentists should take note . . . . But what choice do we have????    something like Obamacare???  Ask me when I'm hurting and I don't give a shit  . . . ask me when I not and I get pissed.
