I survived the dentist :D

The [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Jill (I don't know anyone who likes going to the dentist) I do! I do! Okay, that sounded weird, even to me. No really, my dentist is the most lovely man, and his whole office staff are a real pleasure to visit. He's very careful about hurting me (and I'm VERY sensitive), and he's always going away to conferences and seminars and always has some new toy to play with whenever I go for a visit. He's very careful to be as pain-free as possible, and even explains what he is doing while he's working, which was a big thing for me. I feel less anxious when I know what's going on. For my first visit, he even used a little camera that went to a tv screen over his shoulder, and showed me EXACTLY what the problems were. VERY cool.
My insurance has never covered his bill completely, but I'm happy to pay the difference (which isn't much - maybe $35 for a cleaning). His office is such a great place! If you're ever around Hunt Valley, MD, I can highly recommend him. His wife decorated his office, and even the waiting room is lovely and calm, with a little fountain and soft music.

And my teeth always feel so >much better afterwards :-) When I was a child, I had a dentist who liked to torture children. He always told parents that children didn't need novocain or any other pain-killer. I walked to all of my appointments, so my mother was never in the waiting room. He would grab you around the head and start in with his drill. He'd get angry if you complained or whined.
My mother thought I must have been telling stories, but some years later, she and some of the other mothers in the neighborhood were at a kaffee-klatch and the subject of dentists came up. They found out that all the children who used him had similar stories to tell. At the time though, none of the children were believed. I doubt that this would happen as often today, thank goodness.

That is so strange how people never used to believe their kids. Why would a kid make something like that up! Sheesh! I like the dentists here in Thailand. They are very gentle and for cleaning they all have ultrasonic and there's hardly any scraping. For fillings they use the white stuff so it doesn't look like you have any fillings and if it's not going to have to be drilled very deep, they give you the option of not having a shot. I much, much prefer a twinge of pain during the drilling than the shot in the gums and the numb, drooling mess you are afterwards. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album

I also had dentist problems as a teenager. I have a relatively small jaw, and the dentist my parents sent me to for several years insisted on using a device like a scaled-down car jack to force my jaw farther open. He came close to dislocating my jaw each time, and my jaw hinges would ache for a week after visiting him. After three years or so of complaining, my parents finally believed me and sent me to a different dentist. My parents weren't generally bad about believing me, but, for some reason, they didn't take my complaints about the dentist seriously.

Cheryl Perkins - 20 May 2005 11:59 GMT Older dentistry was often simply painful. I hated it with passion, but I don't think the dentists involved were unduly cruel, and in many cases, especially when I was very young, my parents were present. My present dentist, who uses modern techniques, has commented on the 'solid, old-fashioned dentistry' that produced such long-lived fillings. Unfortunately, one has finally given up the ghost.
One of these dentists is still alive, and retired to my present hometown. It seems he's also an amateur artist and recently put on a show of his paintings. I though about going, for about 2 seconds!

Just about everyplace would be improved by adding a cat. And I just happen to have this very sweet stray white momma cat with black spots who needs a home....
