I really, really, really hate dentists! · 1:34pm May 27th, 2019
Y'know... I never really understood why people make fun of dentists "not being real doctors" until right now...
Here I was, having intense pain under my right cheek. Especially when I eat or drink hot stuff. Ibuprofen didn't help shit. The only thing that did was rinsing my mouth with cold to tepid water. Naturally, I get a dentist appointment. Next month!
Nothing to do. Just trudge on I guess...
As the time grows closer I start feeling better, and I figure that maybe it was spurred on by me taking the webbserver maintainance test.
Go to the appointment. Feel no pain. Tell my tale, dentist check some, take some röntgen and says everythings crystal. Awesome, right!?
~ Next week ~
I feel as if someone had jammed a spike through my tooth and into the bone. Call about an emergency appointment. No time today but can get one 14'10 next day. Great!
~ Next day ~
Pain is gone, except for when I eat or drink ANYTHING. Sit around being miserable. Can't eat breakfast, can't eat lunch and can't watch season 6 of FRIENDS on DVD because of a stupid blackout!
Sit in the chair, tell my woes again. Dentist blows air on my tooth with that stupid air pen thing and I start crying from the pain. Then he starts painting my front teeth with some banana flavoured flour paste and tells me to wait one or two weeks...
I actually had to force him to take new röntgens and bring another dentist in only to find out that everything looks great! "Buy a new toothbrush, some new toothpaste and give it same time! Oh, and don't eat or drink for an hour."
...
I swear I haven't been this humiliated by a medical practictioner since I had to take a vision exam for my drivers licence only to find out I was completely blind to anything 60cm from my face...
Well the pains marginally down. Only now it feels like the tooth's about to plop out any second. Like it's only stuck with the outermost gingiva around the crown. And I feel my pulse in it.
...
I'm gonna lose that tooth aint I...?
I actually kinda hope it now just so I can go back and shove it up that dentist's rectum.
