Dentist

Had root canal done. Mouth feels like I've got a golf ball wedged in it, been hit with a hammer, and I only know I'm dribbling when I wipe my chin.
Just thought I'd share it with you.

my dentist knocks you out for most procedures, not that I'm complaining as I hate the drill.
always seem to wake up with a sore censored though.....never figured that out!

Christ, I'd be checking myself afterwards if he knocked me out every time I went. See if my pants were still on the right way around! :shock:
No, local. Having it done was fine, it's the anaesthetic that's the pain so to speak. All that dribbling and only being able to eat on one side. Dreading having a cup of tea, it'll probably end up running down my chin onto my lap.
It's starting to wear off and itching now.

I asked a Dentist years ago is this about to hurt? He said that you have to have a little bit of pain to avoid the big pain, I didnt think it a good idea to squeeze his nuts when he was holding a drill in my mouth, he might have panicked.
Anaesthetic FTW.
Keep getting food wedged down the hole :x

Went home thinking I was Cuck Norris, then had a glass of coke straight out the fridge - F**K me I've never felt pain like it!

I do love the sensation of trying to rinse your mouth out, when the whole
of one side is numb, and the dental nurse is "totty". :oops: :oops:

But to make you feel better, I read a book called “A million little pieces” by author James Frey a while ago? It’s a great book about a drug addict trying to get clean. In it he describes, and tells of having root canal work done on both his front teeth with NO, yes NO anaesthetic! He tells a fantastic story of excruciating pain. My teeth went into hiding as I read it!
So think what he went through! There you feel better already!

I was supposed to have my knashers straightened 20 odd years ago. Then it was scaffolding in the chops & nothing else. At 15 I didn't fancy looking like that James Bond baddie who bites thru stuff.
Small woman (very tidy but small) being watched over by her tutor as she tries to numb me. 5 attempts she thinks she has it numbed, by this point my whole head feels wooly and my mouth has more of the gunk in it than my gums.
They have no drills to spare (apparently they keep them for proper emergencies) so they are just trying to yank this tooth out. I am making all sorts of noises its so stunningly painful as she is pulling away at this broken tooth. She doesnt have the strength needed to pull it out! Tutor steps in and asks do you think your mouth is numb enough, can you feel pain, it should be pressure. 'ain, oww ahh I mumble through a numb mouth.
Tutor gives the student a look, grabs a huge needle, bang staight in. Doesnt wait for it to take effect just dives in, starts pulling the tooth that hard my head is getting pulled from side to side till it pops out with a big amount of blood.
All done he says and walks off while me and the student look at each other stunned.
Get given a tissue and sent off home, staggering down sauchiehall street at lunchtime, swaying groggy and mouth dripping blood. I blend in well with the locals mind you.
Hasn't stopped me eating sweets and drinking fizzy juice mind.

...and if you dont agree I'll gum you senseless.....
Woah there matey, steady on the gum threating-ness. :shock:
Firkin' 'ell, rough or what?
Mrs tank came out with her eyes watering and my daughter was all but in tears. I got in the chair thinking, Go on hurt me you [email protected]@rd, I needent have worried, Crikey me I could barely eat for three days (honestly).
The chap was of middle eastern origins. IF he is one of these so called much needed professionals this counry is desperate to fill the skills gap i think we can do without his particular (rough as @rseholes) sort.
My usual dentist will be back in December, a very pleasant Dutch lady who dosen't inflict pain along the lines of the pain inflicted on Dustin Hoffman in marathon man.
