Dental work

[Etoile]

I just had surprise dental work done. I had been having pain in a tooth that was filled in April, so I made an appointment. They warned me that they were very busy, so I would probably have to come back another time for the fix. But when the dentist looked in my mouth, he discovered that the filling he did a couple of months ago was gone. So he shot me up with Novocaine - twice, because I'd needed two the first time - and sent me into another room to wait for it to go numb.

And all I could think about as I sat there was the sadistic dentist from Little Shop of Horrors (played by Steve Martin in the movie). Mwahahahaha.

That character gave me nightmares as a kid... damn you for mentioning him right before I'm headed to bed, Etoile! LOL

Seriously though... Hope everything's okay with your mouth. It's an important part of the body.

LOL, and that was such a good movie. A certain man here needs a dentist visit but is still finding excuses why it is not convenient. I don't have a problem with them and only have an injection if a tooth is being pulled.....can't stand the feel afterward so avoid it as much as possible. Hope you are feeling much better now.

The only thing that scares me senseless is the dentist.
I have to take valium to even get to the waiting room...
Teeth freak me out for some reason....Have seen a few knocked out and I nearly fainted or threw up...erk.

Hi Etoile!

You are such a lovely lady!

I have a lot to say on this subject. Okay, I loved Little Shop of Horrors! I love Steve Martin!

I don't love dentists. In fact I'm rather phobic about them. They are one of the few doctors I see every six months or so though.

When I was a kid. Our dentist decided to pull permanent teeth rather than do braces. Honestly with the slight TMJ that I have, braces would have been the better way to go. Pulling eight permanent teeth is not fun. That is where I developed my phobia, I think.

I was "good" and "patient" at first cause my Mom said we could go to the five and dime store to buy something if I was. I loved that. I would get a Kiddle or Barbie or some such. By the time we got to about the sixth tooth I was over the dime store and being good thing though. Each pulling was a different visit. So tons of time to dread and think about the next one was built in.

Several dentists have told me I have a very high pain threshold. Such statements, along with the events that brought their observations about, usually result in me no longer seeing them!!! Some of the worst pain I've ever had has been tooth pain and/or with a Dentist.

This month I have to get a crown because I cracked a tooth from subconscious stress grinding. Not only will it be a high out of pocket expense but it will probably hurt a great deal. It's waaaay in the back you see. The last time I needed work way in the back, they shot me with Novocain about nine times, pausing each time to see if it worked. It didn't. I looked at my watch and said, "Listen I'm out of time. Just drill it already. I need to get home." Ouch! Seriously I had to get home and I didn't want to have to come back.

So I've warned this newer dentist and his crew about all this and hopefully they will at least give me some gas or something.

Gas does nothing for the pain. It just makes me not care nearly as much. I can't literally write entire movie scripts about their nose hair while they work. If only I had a brain to computer interface to get those words out before they dissipated like smoke from a snuffed candle. Ah well, maybe someday.

I wish my FIL had never retired. He was a dentist. He never hurt me. I think he should at least have kept a chair in his basement just for me! It's funny too because I was terrified to start seeing him when I first hooked up with my husband.

I figured he tell my husband to go find a girl with fewer fillings and no TMJ. "No, son, she is not the right girl for you!" Nope, they love me.

They think I "changed" their son for the better. Ha! He was the best all along. They just couldn't see it. I've always loved people as they are and not tried to change them.

*smiles*

(Unless you count making him more kinky but they don't know about that. *grins*)

That's for making people feel old! <thanks for giving me an excuse to spnk you, you're hind end always loks so spankable >

 

[canadiancutie]

You would hat emy mom. That being said, I'm not scared of the dentist at all, I get unnecessary dentistry done. Porcelain veneers soon! I will not be happy until my teeth are perfect. I have an obssession with teeth


ps- I know all the words to the Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack.

I remember my first time watching it in grade nine. I don't really remember much of it.

A spanking from a hot Domme? Oh no, my worst nightmare! *grins and bends over*

Hurray, my mouth is back to normal, except for tasting a little funny when I put my tongue in that corner.

This is not what I think of when I think of masochism though...and yet the dentist from Little Shop was a sadist who applied himself through dentistry...perhaps there are masochists out there who seek dental work??

Never heard of dentiphilia?

I doubt that very much. Aside for CC, it sounds like all the subs around here are dentist-phobes. I sure as hell am. Two or three horrible experiences in the chair scarred me for life. Tie me down, flog me, clamp me, clip me, drip wax on me, stick ice cubes where the sun don't shine, but STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM MY TEETH!

The last time I was at the dentist (I'm way overdue to go back for a checkup), it was for a root canal. With mulitiple shots AND the nitrous turned up to 11, I was STILL so tense that my back didn't touch the chair throughout the procedure--my hands were clamped on the arms of the chair like vicegrip pliers, and my feet were hooked under the end of the chair. My back was arched high, and my weight was entirely on my elbows, my shoulders, and my calves. You'd have to be a VERY extreme sadist to enjoy seeing me in that state.

For me, the single hardest scene to watch in any movie ever was in Marathon Man when Olivier--as an old fugitive Nazi dentist--tortured Hoffman with a dental drill. I nearly passed out, and NOT in a good way.

Doctors don't bother me at all. Cut me open, poke around inside all you want, long as I'm knocked out. But dentists petrify me absolutely.

 

[Etoile]

Oh man, nitrous - that's the good stuff! I was knocked out fully for my wisdom teeth to come out, and I had always been too scared for nitrous before then. (I had also been around it being used recreationally and I didn't like that either.) But they used it to get me ready for the anesthesia, and it was GREAT! When they did inject me with something, I could swear I felt the liquid travel up my arm. The next thing I knew, I was being guided toward a recovery room!

I had a general for my wisdom teeth, too, and had pretty much the same experience. They had me counting backwards from 100; I got to about 97, and the next thing I knew, I was being walked into the recovery room. If every dental procedure used a general anesthesia, I'd have no problem with dentists.

 

[Xelebes]

Well, I don't have a phobia of dentists. I just can't afford to go to a dentist. Haven't been able to afford one since 1989.

 

[Jay Davis]

I have a theory...tops who care about their subs become Dom/mes; the ones who just like to inflict pain become dentists.

 

[navarre]

...and yet the dentist from Little Shop was a sadist who applied himself through dentistry...

I went to that guy when I was living in Detroit.
He quit the practice to go into children's dentistry.

Go figure.

I remember that scene it was TERRIBLE! Alias the TV show has also had some BAD dental torture scenes!

Is it safe?

 

[BlueSugar]

4 teeth pulled
7 years of braces
3 years of wearing a retainer



years of orthodontists lieing and telling me it wont hurt and it'll be over soon.


and most of it was spent thinking about Bill Cosby's skit about dentists on his Himself stand up special (yeah, the one where hes sitting on the stool).

lol - It is a MUST see for anyone who hasn't and has sat in a dentist's chair. I demand it *firm nod*

Ha ha!

I LIKE that theory!

Ug, dentists. The only thing that will get me to a dentist is an abcess. I hate them, and even then I shake and cry. (Suffice it to say that I rarely cry. Other than dentist visits I normally only cry if someone dies, or I'm really really sick and too week to fight it off.) And I do that even with nitrous oxide. I have to be unconsious not to cry through a dental procedure.

So far I'm having wonder teeth. And a wonder dentist. The worst that happened were braces. There were some bad moments. And the doctor responsible for them was not very good.
I like to go to my dentist. He is very friendly, he is very quick (one visit rarely lasts fifteen minutes) and he always explains everything to me, because he believes that understanding what's wrong and what makes it right again helps the healing. He's great!
