Just had my first cavities filled, what's your experience with dentists?

[unindexedsearchengine]

I have had horrible experiences with dentists. This one time, the root on one of my teeth got inflamed, and the tooth had to be removed. The dentist working on my was a total fuckwad, as without even pretending to retain any pretense of caring, dived right into my mouth without further a due. Upon breaking my tooth off, and leaving the root in, we discovered via x-ray (which could have been done prior to this massive fuckup) , that not only are my root fucking huge, they're hooked too. So there I am, in excruciating pain, with an inflamed,hooked root the size of a fucking nail in my face.
Hungarian health-care being what it is, I had to wait 4 months for anything to happen. I had an appointment for a "check-up", I go see the dentist, and BOOM, surgery. They pumped down four doses of local-anesthetic into my jaw using the biggest fucking syringe you can think of, (The nurse was kinda pale too, so I immediately thought of little sisters, and through that, bioshock. didn't exactly calm me further). Best part? The stuff bare affected me. So now Dr. Clumsy McFuckwad delves into my mouth once again, to right his wrongs. Eventually, he succeeds, but it was a messy business, anesthetic not working and all. When they got the bloody (literally) thing out of my jaw, we observed what was a tic-tac sized inflammation hanging on the end of the hook.

Fun times.

I've had at least one cavity that needed filling every visit I've been to a dentist except twice. I go every 9 months.
I've had three of my four wisdom teeth removed (not sure why people complain and whine about this. Wussies.)
My parents made me get braces and when they came off, I required a cavity to be filled in every single one of my teeth.
I've had two root canals.
I've had the freezing wear off during the drilling of a cavity.

I brush my teeth. Regularly. I eat somewhat healthy. My bad oral hygiene is likely due to genetics - low or weak enamel making me prone to this sort of work.


The real joke here is that my brother brushes his teeth once a week, never needed braces and his teeth are white, straight and has never had a cavity.

Absolutely hate the dentist. I go at least once a year for a check up and cleaning but I always feel like they're going to find something worth working on. Haven't had a cavity since I was a child and my teeth are as straight as can be. So yay for that... still don't like em though.

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate them since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for dentists at this micro-instant. For them. Hate. Hate.

So you could say I have some strong feelings on the matter.

Not lying here, I had 12 teeth removed at once by a dental surgeon. Does that count? I mean, I was under for it, but still, that's a bad dental story XD I did get Vanquished out of it though.

EDIT; forgot to say I have my top braces in now. Bottom teeth seem ok for now.
