Mahonri.....I have a question only a dentist could answer. :)

Ooooh!! I just had a thought. I could come to Phoenix twice a year, visit the dentist, bring a few chickens, call it a business trip and write it off on my Farm taxes.

Could be worse, I'm allergic to novacaine. About 4 years ago they gave me the shots to do a filling and i had a full on seisure in the chair. Now it's strictly sediation, however the insurance just sent out a letter halting all dential on people over 18, now I can get an eray once a year and a tooth pulled every 60 days, and that is the ONLY things they'll do.

Did we have the same dentist?
It kept me from going for many years once I was an adult. Now I have a great dentist. I don't think he believed me about my childhood dentist though.

Years ago, my ex needed to go to the dentist for some work, so I dropped her off on my way to work and she would get a taxi home afterward. I had been to work about 45 minutes when I got a call from the dentists office manager asking that I come immediately. When I got there, the dentist was standing in the hall outside of the exam room waiting on me. He had given her the gas and started to do his work when she decided that she loved him and wanted to touch him all over while he was trying to work! He had already done enough that he needed to continue, but couldn't get close to her without her hands roaming all around. I had to go in and help hold her hands so the poor guy could finish his work. We all laughed about it later, but she didn't get any more gas at his office! LOL!

My DS had to have his wisdom teeth cut out and some surgery work done when he had his braces. We loved his oral surgeon & his staff. They were really great folks and made you feel at ease. The surgeon talked like Elvis, like to call my DS man, but sounded like may-yan.

Blondie, I had some mean dentists as a child, too.
The one in HS tried to be nicer, but I had all these really bad memories. He's the one that first gave me Nitrous and afterwards he told me it added years to his life! I think it was the first time we went an entire visit without me freaking out and biting him.

I only went to the dentist when there was an extreme need for years, and always insisted on Nitrous.

Now I have a lady dentist, and when she told me I wouldn't need Nitrous I didn't believe her. But she was right! As an added benefit, she has dainty hands so my jaws don't ache at the end of any long procedures! Now my whole family goes to her as well. She's awesome! And now that I have a dentist I'm truly happy with, I can totally understand why someone would fly a long way to keep going to someone like Mahonri!

I drive an hour to see my dentist. Hubby and I have had way too many jerk dentists that we would drive hours to see her if we had to. She never EVER criticizes, just fixes. And she's an absolute perfectionist with fillings and crowns.

My experence with nitrous has been when I had 5 cavaties at one time. Oops it was my fault but I had a cavaty in one the back molars and my dentist thought it would be easier on me to use the nitrous. It was great but I had driven myself to the dentist and my dentist office is about an 1 hour from my house I had tried to tell them if it was ok to drive myself home and they yes. I am not sure how I made it home but I got home because I was pretty out of it and went to sleep when I got home because it had been the first time I had nitrous.
