JD so sorry.

I have had some nightmare dentist visits!
But I had a Vietnamese dentist in Garden Grove Ca.
Fix a broke tooth and do a root canal with no novacaine.
She used a mint gel on the nerve and I never felt a thing.
She was an awesome dentist! Any time I went to another dentist they never heard of anything like it. I wish they would all find out and use her tenique!

Diva I love your new avatar.

Drs don't do anything painful to me any more while I'm awake!
I've had root canals and teeth pulled that they could not get numb. I cried the whole time. Not any more! They are all gone.

Yeah, i just learned to say NO , and STOP!

Well I have to attend another funeral today. My great uncle passed Thursday. That's two family members and three friends since July.....

What a rough year! Sure hope the next few years show you no more losses.

I always like the teaching college that required every MD it graduated to spend a weekend in the hospital as a patient with an imaginary disease. Just to put things into perspective.

ASSUMING the doctor is incognito. Of course the staff would take really good care of him/her if they know it is a doctor "test".

But why not get antibiotics to combat the infection before drilling!?

What happened is that they took xrays which hadn't showed the abscess and started drilling. When he started to take the xrays while doing the root canal, he took a reading, checked the xray, came back into the room and said, I have some bad news. We are drilling on the wrong tooth.The tooth I'm working on needs a canal done on it but the tooth next to it is really the bad tooth and it has an abscess. I had gone in earlier with a toothache and the doc had me come back after hours so he could work on giving me some relief. They hadn't seen the abscess until then.

I have a disease in my teeth called congenital internal resorption. My immune system will turn on my own teeth and try to dissolve them from the inside out. The first indication of a problem is that the tooth abcesses and then I get pain.

I've lost about half of my teeth to it. and wound up losing both teeth that he worked on anyway. What can I say, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you.

I'm so sorry. You have had a horrible year. Let's hope that 2019 is better for all of us.

Did he follow that with "Oops!".

Yeah. Nice guy. Never sent me a bill. I went to him years later when he had moved his practice to Peoria and had specialized in endentology. He's the doc that eventually diagnosed the CIR in my teeth. At the time I was only the second person in IL to be diagnosed with it.
