Rave: Getting Cavities Filled

[jim]

The first dentist I had as a child was an old country dentist that was probably all my parents could afford. He was good, but we did without some of the luxuries - including novacaine. I am still traumatized to this day by a dentist drill, the sound and smell are just horrifying. Those of you born past a certain year do not know the horrors these people caused in young children.

Yeah the dentist I had before this was "old school". The dental hygienists would floss my gums extra hard to "teach [me] a lesson on why need to floss" and my gums would be all bloody and swollen. Then during cavities the other old lady would have the hardest time properly putting in the numbing stuff, so she'd have to stick me with the damn needle 4-5 times in each spot before she was done. Then the dentist used the old high-pitched drill and you could hear the loud grounding sound, and it hurt way more WITH the numbing stuff than my recent one did without. There's a reason I went six years between dentist visits.

What a bunch of weenies! Going to the dentist doesn't bother me at all.....I've had teeth pulled, braces (the kind that are shoved on each tooth), surgery, etc. Doesn't phase me in the least. I love getting my teeth cleaned twice a year, too......

I agree with Heyzeus, laughing gas is outstanding!
