I Went To The Dentist

It took about 5 minutes for my left side to go numb and he probed me with a sharp thing, telling me it was ok to proceed as if I had felt that I would have gone through the roof.

Yup, you go through the roof alright when they jab that bloody spike in! When I was about 14 I had 4 teeth extracted, 2 from each side. The first time I went in they had to send me back to the waiting room after having more anaesthetic 3 times as each time I came back & they rammed that spike in the roof of my mouth, it hurt like hell as I have such a low pain threshold.


Unbelievable feeling and not one I would recommend, if only for its weirdness.

I couldn't agree with you more - it was undoubtably one of the strangest feelings I've ever had too, the worst part of it was probably the sounds of each tooth cracking as he tried to get it out. As Melendez says, it was the strangest procedure too & the dentist struggled to pull each tooth out - it was almost like a cartoon; the dentist literally had the heel of one of his palms wedged against my mouth & pushing while the other arm was tugging for hs life's worth!
 
Today saw the demise of my lower right 7.

I felt pain as well. I shouted and tried to say "I feel pain" but with my mouth being open all I could say was "aaah aaaaaah aaaaaah"

I don't think he numbed my mouth enough, and he said so himself.

I am now sitting here in a state of fury. I can't eat, I'm starving and I want to kill folk.

I go back for the last time next week for a filling.

I dearly hope the filling is grilled chicken and prawn.
 
:lol:

About 20 years ago I was having an operation to remove an ingrowing toenail under local anaesthetic. As the doc set about my foot I was in agony but didn't want to appear a wuss, so I kept my trap (and my mouth) shut, but I couldn't help the tremendous shaking in my leg.

The doc said, "No need to to nervous, Maurice (your caring, sharing, friendly NHS)..."

I said, "I'm not nervous, I'm in pain."

"But we anaesthetised the area."

"Well, I don't think you've put enough in."

"What am I doing now?"

"Your jabbing something sharp agaisnt the sole of my foot and running it up and down. I can feel every movement."

"OK, we'd better put in some more anaesthetic, then, hadn't we?"
 
Well I had snapped the ligaments on my right hand little finger and next one the two fingers were closed to my palm and could only be straightened by pulling open with other hand....

I had loads of injections :o in the joints but it never worked as such....... h:)

They said I would need an operation, we will send for you, these opps use to be done at Chepstow now they are done in Morreston 48 miles away from me so they sent a letter about 2yrs later to say can you ring the hospital on the said morning of the opp I did @ 6am they said no bed was available so it was cancelled 6 weeks later another date was set I rang up at 6am they then said o/k make your way, yippee!!!

So I drove down to Morreston at 6-30am took about an hour, no food or drink I had a bed, I had pre meds, tests etc then wheeled to the operating theatre, but it was done in huge operating theatre under local anaesthetic my a... was twitching seeing all these masked people and these huge lights I was laying down with my hand stretched out they jabbed in the needle 6 times or more both sides of my hand started cutting after ten minutes, I felt the scalpel cutting me so shouted wohhh I can feel that they then jabbed my hand another 6 times and then I could feel them tying my ligaments up in my hand but the opp was completed.

I went to the recovery ward, then into my own bed after and hour, I was not supposed to stay overnight only if complications set in, as someone was supposed to pick me up at about 3pm as I had told the sister (porkies of course) so with this rather large bandage on and a sling and the pain starting to come back to life, I had to some how drive home as no one could come on such short notice, so I looked out of the window and told a porky "ho heres my lift he just arrived and pulled in the car park" I said, I thanked them for all the care and treatment I had and bid them farewell I drove home with one hand in a sling. :o :rolleyes:
so am well used to needles :P and the opp was a success and has been o/k ever since.

I wont tell you about my vesectomy but that was painful too???? :o :D :D :D

Did the anethaetist say "Don't worry Sir, it's just a little prick ? " :lol:
 
:D :D no my right ball had the exact same problem as my right hand it could not be deadened but the left one did succumb without a fight........... :o

you know how tender a spot it is but to have needles put in there makes your hair!!! stand on end and to feel the cutting/tugging too is rather painful and no time off work either............ :o

p.s Forgot to add I had it done in its pioneering stage they used two house bricks to finalise the opp to just make sure it was suck-sex-full !!! :D
 
Right, an update.

On Monday I had my first filling. That's my dentist visits over with, well except for next Monday when I go to see a hygenist. After that, everything should be fine.

The filling being put in was strange, as was all of it and my only advice I could give is to not neglect your teeth.

Ever.
 
I think that NHS is wonderful - when i needed emergency treatment for an eye condition they were brilliant - then again barrister written on your notes might help - so doctor friends tell me
 
I have never had any problems with the NHS. When I had my brain tumour they were first rate in everything they did, thank God.
 
Surveys show Paul that opinions about people's own treatment and about the general state of the NHS diverge widely . All the surveys of people being treated show generally significantly increased customer satisfaction but those who have not had to use the NHS for anything other than a trip to the GP think nothing much has changed

You only have 1 filling?? Blimey I have 7.

You should have looked after your teeth better then!!!! :P :P Never had a filling in my life, never needed one. :D

Yes, I can imagine that having barrister written on your notes tends to scare the living daylights out of them to get you good service!!

To be fair, my personal experinces of the NHS haven't been too bad. When I needed a brain scan a couple of years ago I got one within a month or so, with the results a fortnight later - couldn't moan about that. They were very good 12 years ago too when I fractured my femur & was kept in for two weeks - when I went down with a high fever & leg pains a few months later thwy rushed me in quickly as they thought it was an infection in my leg from the nail I had in there - it turned out to be Salmonella in the end though! Turns out I was getting the pain in my leg as viruses tend to target the weak spots before they manifest themselves fully. The only time I wasn't impressed with the NHS (to be fair it was probably just the Dr that was at fault) was when I went in a few years ago to the surgical A&E one night on my GP's say-so with a suspected case of chronic appendicitis - the doctor I saw dismissed me out of hand & sent me home without taking blood tests or doing anything other than proddingme about for a bit, saying I had a virus. Nearly 6 months later after I was still getting bad stomach pains, had been referred to a gynecologist & had a laparoscopy (all done privately in the end because of the long waiting list) to see what was the problem they discovered I did have chronic appendicitis - my appendix was about 3-4 times the size it should have been.

After about an hours tugging and sweating the dentist eventually finished the extraction.
