Adventures in Dental Hygine

[baronessekat]

I have come to realizes... it's not dentists that I hate. It's the hygenist.

Those that have followed my lj for a while know that I've had major work done on almost every tooth in my head. I have one left that I need to see a specialist for.

Today was a general cleaning. The woman was nice enough. Chatted and talked with me. But I don't know what happens to nice people when you put sharp pokey things in their hands.

Conversation:

Her: "Does that bad tooth bother you?"
Me: "No. I figure by now the nerve is dead"
She takes up hook thingies and pokes.
Me: "OW"
Her: "I thought you said it doesn't bother you"
Me: "Well I don't generally go digging at it with a pick axe"

And once again my 8:15 apointment became 8:45 as I sat and read. This was better than the last 8:15 apointment where I didn't get seated until almost 9:30.

This is me grumpy.

But I got my blue paint so I'm going to go paint for a bit.

It took me a long time to find a hygienist who did not inflict pain.
I have a friend who will accidently bite hygienist who cause paid by being careless.

So I have a dentist's appointment on Wednesday, but I read this and now have a sudden urge to cancel. Coincidence? I think not...
