Your worst dental experience

Your worst dental experience?

anyways the whole procedure took only 15 mins, the bad bad part was them telling me "you could die, sign this giving your permission" something like that. shit. that was bad.

Oh boy, SGFR, where and when did this horrorshow happen? I may have been the assistant! I worked at University of Alabama, Birmingham, dental school in the late 70's. You weren't even born though, right?

Anyway,Miglior prodotto per sbiancamento denti you certainly brought back memories rubber dams, etc.!

I'll never forget one dental student I was assisting he had never given an actual injection before, so I had to walk him through it (as all medical 'assistants' generally do!!). The tooth in question was a front upper, so he had to give the shot above that. (Gawd, I'm getting the creeps just writing this.)

When he stuck the patient, her eyes shot out tears, and her nose was essentially flooding the clinic floor. He'd managed to inject her sinus cavity.

I needed a root canal but I never had one done before. I was new to town so I hadnt found a dentist yet. I went to a big and popular clinic, thinking Id get a good dentist there.

After filing the hole he drilled, the dude stuffed a wooden post in my tooth and sealed it up. I didnt know that wasnt right. It was a Thursday. I was supposed to go back in a week for it to get finished.

By Saturday the tooth was of course infected. The dentist wouldnt return my calls. Finally I went to an emergency room all they would do was give me demerol. My jaw was swelled to the size of a baseball.

They referred me to a specialist first thing Monday morning. He took an x ray and showed me the door. Literally wouldnt touch me. He even set the pen and paper I had to sign on the counter and stepped away, instead of handing it to me.

Monday afternoon the original dentist finally called me back. I told him the specialist had referred me back to him to have the tooth pulled. When I got to the clinic, some other dentist pulled the tooth. I saw the guy who did it peek around the corner at me, then real quick he disappeared again.

Frickin dentist quack!

I know that feeling very well. I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled in one appointment. It was an army dentist who didn't believe me when I told him the Novocaine had not worked. In fact, he wasn't even looking when he administered it. He just jammed the needle in and turned to talk to his assistant. I told him I felt it shoot down the back of my throat when he administered it, and he told me I was wrong.

On the first tooth, he had to break it into pieces to get it out. He used what looked like a pair of pliers to smash it. You had better believe we had words and a little bit of physical contact when he broke that tooth without the Novocaine.

To top it off, he did nerve damage. 23 years later I still have no feeling in half of my tongue and lower lip.
