Dental Rant

I just came back from the dentist where I was supposed to have 3 cavities filled. I kept feeling the drill on one cavity. It was a shooting pain down through my tooth. I felt it on the other tooth, but not enough to stop him. He didn't quite believe I felt it, so he tried to sneak in the drilling I think after working on the one I didn't feel. I felt it every time even though he gave me the max amount of novacaine. Now it's half done, and I get to go back.

This is never ending as my teeth are too crowded, my enamel is thin, and I have deep grooves. Chalk up more disbelief when dentists don't buy that I floss at LEAST once EVERY SINGLE DAY. Then there's Hub who takes much less interest in his teeth than I do and has minimal problems. There's a reason why I hate going to the dentist and avoid it, thus exacerbating the issue. Sigh

My last dental drilling was really painful too. One tooth hurt so much.

You have my sympathy. I have horrible teeth despite the fact that I take *really* good care of them. I had 3 cavities by the time I was 4. My husband, on the other hand, has appalling dental hygiene and his teeth are PERFECT. I don't know how dentists don't get this???

Oh that sucks! My hubby has horrible teeth and he takes really good care of them. I just don't get it.

Yeah.. dentists really should get this concept since it seems to happen all the time.
