i went to the dentist today because i'm a 16 year old baby and i had 2 baby teeth that never fell out basically stuck in my mouth... and they did the usual X-ray (for once, the little things i bite down on didn't feel as if they were cutting through my mouth), and sent me to the room and examined the damage with the usual mirror thing...
he brought in some tools and curious as i am about doctors i love to look at every tool (i watch them give me shots too >:^D)
I looked at the table with the tools and saw the usual dentist's things:
Then i noticed a peculiar item...
I couldn't identify more than half of it but it looked like a metallic shot needle with a ring instead of a flat button-like thing at the top... although i only saw the part with the ring and the thing they hold with their fingers...
Well he comes in a little later and says, "Okay I'm going to numb your mouth so you don't feel anything. I'll start by putting this gel on your gums."
At this point i'm thinking "Oh that gel stuff that sounds painless, even though it'll last me an hour..."
He comes over with the pink blob on a Q-tip and swabs my gums around both teeth, but on the left side of my mouth it touches basically the entire left side of my tongue and bottom cheek...
Then... he says nothing about the next part, but he goes away and walks over with that tool that had the ring in it... I look down and discover that it's a massive injection needle (no pictures available >.>)
i'm not afraid of shots so i was like, "oh that's what that is!" and he sticks it in my mouth, then i feel him finding the spot for the left tooth, and he starts digging it into my gum. Well okay it's just a shot, and like i said i don't usually think they're painful. That one was easy to brush off. He moved then for some unknown reason further back in my mouth seemingly closer to my jaw than my tooth (don't ask why, i don't know... but that ended up causing soreness about 5 hours ago, 3 hours after the shot, that has finally almost faded away). That one was basically unnoticeable...
Then he moved to the other tooth, crammed the needle in, and i actually said OW at least 3 times, progressively louder, as the needle dug through my gum burning near the fragile nerves of my tooth. It felt like he was trying to cram it into my tooth's root x_x. Then he left for a minute and 5 minutes later he comes back and says "okay just one more shot on each side and we're ready to pull the teeth!" and he picks up the needle to give me the shot on the right side (the painful one o.0). I'm like freaking out and he puts the needle in my mouth. i wait for the pain... and wait... and wait... then he moves around to the other side... i felt NOTHING. not even his glove trying to make space for the needle o.0
Then he goes to the other side and i get the same burning dig into my roots feeling as described before...
Okay so i can still talk clearly but he crammed a needle in my gums and i didn't notice it... wow.
So he puts the needle on the tray and his assistant picks up the little straw tool that sucks up liquids from your mouth (i.e. spit, blood) (i like that tool it's funny
) and he comes over to me with
PLIERS.
my dad joked before i walked into the dentist's office that he could pull them with pliers and save a lot of money but the dentist used PLIERS to pull baby teeth! rofl!
So he reaches in with pliers, and the next thing i sense is the sound of the tool clamping my right side tooth and this horrid disgusting cruching sound *shudder*. The pliers immerged with a bloody tooth and the assistant sucked up the gooeyness (lol) and he used this giant scraping tool (which i never saw well enough to identify) to get out the root. He proceeded to do the same to the other tooth, but since the permanent tooth had grown in under it and the baby tooth basically glued itself onto the new one, he did more scraping, and i heard his tool scratch away at my precious tooth (nooo my enamel! lol)
The assistant de-gooey-fied me and gave me massive wads of gauze (i hate gauze) and had me bite down on them, however since the left side of my mouth was basically numb and felt like it was 3x its normal size it was difficult to follow the instruction to replace the gauze after 15 minutes... and i bit my tongue a little in the process.
So here i sit 8-9 hours later typing up my experience as vividly as words allow (photographic memory is a hard thing for an amateur author to base his writing upon x_X, since a picture is worth a thousand words), and my mouth feels normal sized, my jaw feels a bit stiff, and my teeth feel smaller (since there are less of them), enjoying my normal mouth with no cavities and no caps/fillings (i've had 3 caps, 0 fillings in my life, and the left side baby tooth was one of the capped ones).
The one thing i have to say about dentists is no matter how gentle you are, the atmosphere of the office has to be VERY comforting before i actually don't feel like leaving my mouth in a disgusting, broken state would be better than going there and enduring your evil tools of doom (come on... pliers and metal shot needles!?). The dentist who gave me root canals (for the caps) didn't even put me to sleep with his anesthetics, but his non-claustrophobic room and friendly atmosphere made me ENJOY the experience (root canals and enjoy the experience are hard to put in the same sentence for most people without negative words). This dentist closed the door to his tiny room and got up in my face. My mom and about half her family are claustrophobic, and even though i'm not claustrophobic, i prefer open spaces to closed ones. Stick me in a tight space if you want but i'd rather be outside...
