See if you guys can top this "dentist" story. Well, at least that is what he professed to be.

Went to the dentist; needed 2 crowns. Told the dentist I was stressed out to begin with (thought that would give me an edge).

Then he:
1. Kept me in the chair for THREE HOURS.
2. Gave me SIX needles so I wouldn't FEEL THE PAIN.
3. Drilled so fast he caused filling particles to fly into my tonsils and back of throat, and then they couldn't see them so I kept pointing to the back of my throat. Luckily I retrieved one of them with my tongue which I promptly stuck out.
4. Left my impression in longer that he should have, thus causing an entire bridge to be pulled out when he attempted to tear apart my teeth from the impression.
5. And had the guts to say "Hope today wasn't too bad".


TOO BAD?    

The ONLY possible worse thing about that chair is that it could have been ELECTRIC!!!!

Yes, today I met the DENTIST FROM ****! Lips Sealed

Anyone want to share "DENTAL HORRORS"? Grin Grin Grin

Well, I don't think that can be topped easily. Gratefully, I don't have one to share that bad, but my father had a couple. Once he went to our dentist and the hygenist actually broke his tooth. They messed up his billing several times, and one time (and this was my father's fault, you understand), my father didn't want to deal with the numbness of novacainse which he hated above all, so he asked the dentist to do the root canal without it. Not only that, but the tooth in question had the roots wrapped into the jawbone. My father completed his surgery without the novacaine. But I don't think he refused novacaine subsequently. I never did understand it. Undecided

Have you considered changing dentists?  Smiley

No Novacaine?Huh?? OOUCH!

Know I couldn't go through that one. Needless to say will be changing dentists.

About 8 years ago, I had another experience with a dentist and this one (I think) tops my first story. Okay, here it goes.

Went to have a crown put in and the dentist novacained me . In the process some of the Novacaine came out of the needle and needless to say with my luck somehow some of it ran down my throat and sort of numbed it.

Then he began to drill away and yet again part of the filling in the tooth that he was drilling also went somewhere in my throat. Then everytime I tried to swallow (and started to do so excessively since I was what we might call HIGHLY STRESSED) I began to get a gagging reflex (once again pointing to the inside of my throat).

The next thing I recall is the dentist asking me if I could breath, telling his staff to call 911, and giving me the Heimlich (sp) manuever in the bathroom. Fortunately I was able to breath since his Heimlich manuever wasn't working, but I was continually gagging.  

I guess the novacaine had numbed my throat bringing about this reflex when I swallowed since a piece of filling was lodged there. Fortunately, it soon wore off and I was able to swallow again and when I did the filling went down okay.

Luckily, this happened in time for him to tell the staff to cancel the 911 call. The dentist called me at home that night to see how I was doing. Wasn't HE sensitive? Angry

Just one question here. DO DENTISTS HATE ME OR WHAT?
Maybe dentists should have their hands labeled as "lethal weapons" or should I just tear this VICTIM SIGN off my back?

Oh, well, just another ORDINARY dental visit for me.

And, you thought there was only ONE dentist from ****   Lips Sealed

I know, it all is beginning to sound like a nightmare; only problem is that I'm wide awake.  Wink

Ouch, Alfie.  I try to avoid'm when I can.

Get this:  I pick a random summertime reading book off the public libray shelf, about a WWII warship.  Read it, return it.

Next time I'm in the dentist's office, I remember that I'd seen a WWII warship photo on his office wall, so I make a point to check it out again.

Whoa!  There on the wall is a framed dupicate of the very same picture that was on the cover of that random book I'd been reading one month before.

Turns out this dentist's dad had been aboard that very same ship, I'd been reading about.

What are the odds??
