My Visit to the Dentist

I barely made it for my noon appointment at the Int’l Clinic, yet I still had to wait “for two minutes, sir! *goofy grin*” (I’ll get to that nurse later..)

It started with two tiny stings in my gums, then lots of drilling, grunting, tapping and whatnot. I was fine except for the fact that the nurse didn’t use the suction much, so I reflexively swallowed much of my own crap that the doc dug outta my tooth. I really wanted to smack her, at one point the doc got impatient with her.

It was my first root canal. And man, did he root me. Sounds kinky, eh? You dirty-minded buggers.

After about an hour’s work, I probably washed my mouth out with 5 cups of that green fizzy stuff to get the crappy taste of burnt tooth and whatever gunk that remained. I got to admit, the doc was pretty good, he managed to deal with a pretty difficult one and the poor dude broke into a sweat (thank God none of that dripped into my mouth!).

Now the anesthesia is wearing off and the side of my mouth is thumping along with my heartbeat. This is going to be an interesting experience, good thing the doc said the rest of my teeth are healthy, won’t have to go for more of that anymore. The whole procedure in all was painless, didn’t feel a single thing. Only the buzzing feeling (like nails on chalkboard) when the drill was digging into the tooth.

Note: If anyone needs a bear with a sore tooth to bite someone’s head off. Call my hot line or drop me an email, I can resist the painkiller for several hours to do the job. ;)

  6. sounds harsh…i am almost forty years old…and never even had one single cavity inmylife…even when i had baby teeth…

    just wanted to brag i guess…

  7. my teeth started to hurt lol

    someday .. sometime .. in the dark ages of after death, beyond graves, up on the clouds of heaven, deep down in hell’s fires .. ill start planning to go to the dentist ! :P

    So imagine when im actually going!

  8. Oh, i had a root canal and when the anaesthetic wore off, I was in excruciating pain. The dentist said “occasionally that happens.” (AARRRGGGHHHH!) I learned to love Aleve.

  9. Chika: So far so good, I think..just don’t make me smile it hurts lol.

    Bee: There’s a fee attached to this job. :P

    eshda3wa: Thanks :)

    Engineer: Allah yesalmech oo yekhaleech…my advice..no more soft drinks. :P

    Pink: ee the demand is pretty high hal ayam..must be the heat or something!

    said: You suck, my friend.

    Charged: Chicken. BE A MAN!

    intlxpatr: Vicodin all the way! The pain isn’t that bad, my issue is with teeth grinding or clenching when I sleep. I wake up with not just a sore jaw..but one hell of a sore face too. I keep forgetting to ask for a mouth guard.

  10. I removed all my wisdom teeth, and two teeth were removed in one appointment. I will not go on detail for my appointments because it was “pain story”. My reaction after that was hated to set on the barber’s chair because reminds me on dental’s chair.

  11. Hatem: I went thru the same experience several years ago. Removed all 4 wisdoms including 4 other teeth that they affected. So 8 in total. I stayed overnight in the hospital and couldn’t eat proper food for a couple of months. Also had to go every day for my antibiotics/vitamins injections for a week. Trust me I know the nightmare lol..I looked like a chipmunk for a long while!

    It was wrong that they did the procedure for you at a dentist’s office, it should have been done in the OR with a proper dental surgeon.

  12. WHATS YOUR HOTLINE! I need your help ASAP LOL

    I hate going to the dentist too… last time I was there when I had this surgery to remove my one and only wisdom tooth! YES I only have one and its GONE… in my case, I try and feel my cheeks and pinching’em and squeezing’em like there is no tomorrow.. . but when the anesthesia is wearing off I end up with RED HUGE CHEEKS LOL 3ibthiya

  13. Я : Your story kind of adventure story, but the funny thing (chipmunk)

  14. Ansam: emta3ba nafsech..why didn’t you just yank out the tooth yourself since you’re ‘3ibthiya’? :P

    It’s always a good idea to check a child’s jaw + teeth, if it shows that it’ll be too small to have wisdoms..then the last 4 molars are to be removed to make room for them to grow. (Advice from a dentist I met in a diwaniya last night).

    Or suffer later as an adult.

    Hatem: My life is full of adventures. :)

  15. LOL ana mo child ;-P
    my dentist told me I only have one… see when i went to the dentist I had my wisdom tooth out and I was making up some stories about the rest, like i can feel this one will come out soon, that one is kinda emthayegni yada yada yada… he was nodding all the time till he saw the XRays LOL galli yal chathaba! You only have one min alla!! LOL fashla
