    ...to get some cavities filled...:eek: I dread the sound of that drill and the taste of vaporized tooth enamel, bot to mention that pleasant shot they jack into the hard palate of your mouth. On top of that, my lower fallen impacted molars have started to cause some problems, so after I get my cavities filled, I may have to have go back to have some surgery to get those suckers dug out and yanked...:eek: :eek:

    I am glad to be geting this work done, but I invite you all to try to make me as nervous and scared as possible! :D

    If your dentist is named Clara Harris, you better keep your head still.:(

    Two things to remember:

    1) From what I've heard, the Nitrous Oxide is DEFINITELY worth the extra money.

    2) I've never met a dental hygenist that wasn't a hottie with big knockers...

    Don't worry. I'm sure Isaac Yankem D.D.S will take good care of you.

    Wow...I sure hope the drill doesn't hit one of those un-deadened nerves. You know the kind....where the pain feels like a bolt of lightening shooting down the side of your body.

    I think I'd rather be burned with a hot branding iron. At least I'd know when it was coming.

    I guess what really makes me nervous is an experience that I had my last year of high school.

    I had to have a root canal and after the dentist finished "killing" the nerve in my molar, he packed it and filled it with a temporary crown. We left the dentists office to go to HEB and it was about noon. After the anesthesia started wearing off, I felt a horrible pain in the tooth. It steadily increased until I had to go back to the car in pain. I ended up ripping the mirror off the windshield before my dad finished shopping and took me back to the dentist. When we got there, the dentist was out to lunch so I had to sit in a waiting chair until he got back. An eternity later (20 minutes), he walked in, re-anesthetized the area, pulled of the crown and discovered that the nerve was not all dead and cut out so I had the filling in my tooth directly pressing on a raw nerve. "Ooops" he said!!! :mad:

    Speak of the devil.

    I went to the dentist last week and found out I have 4 FREAKING CAVITIES!!!

    Im so pissed because Im not yet on my companies insurance..... I have one more month before I can afford to get the $400 of work I need done.

    Just pray you never have to get caps or God forbid a root canal.

    Fillings arent that bad, just hope there is a hottie or two to keep you sidetracked!!

    Please.

    Worst day of my life was back in the summer of 1996. I needed a physical and I hadn't been to the dentist in nearly 6 years because of my braces. So, I had to get the finger up my butt and 5 teeth filled <B>ON THE SAME ****ING DAY</B>.

    I haven't been back to the dentist since.

    I never remember any fingers up my butt during physicals. And I think I'd remember if that happened. Are you sure you're not confusing this story from playtime with the guys?

    That was true until the last time I went which was last week when I got this middle-aged dumpy and dippy woman...*shiver*

    Oh and Oski, yes that is Kane that is Isaac Yankem.

    I'm pretty sure, even though I could be wrong.

    You've never had a full scale physical before? I'm not talking high school sports physicals where all you do is turn your head and cough.
