I Need Another Shot!!

I know I'm the worst blogger in the universe, especially being new to blogging. I will pick up the pace soon, I have been slacking because it's summer time and work is kicking my arse lately.

Today I went to the dentist to get an exam. This past week I have been feeling pain in my tooth everytime I ate. So, I finally scheduled for an appointment to see the dentist today. I kinda figured that I needed my wisdom tooth pulled but I wasn't sure. I was hoping it was just a cavity or something else. I get to the office at 4:00 (keep that time in mind) and was seen immediately. The office is pretty nice, there is a flat screen TV in every exam room. They use it to let the patients watch TV and look at xrays. I don't know why I'm excited about that but I think its sweet. So i'm watching Tiger Woods on his path to whooping some more ass in golf. The doctor comes in a daps me up like the Obamas...LOL... That was unexpected and awkard even though my dentist is probably only a little older than me. He asked me whats wrong and pries open my mouth to take a look. He starts thumping on my teeth until he gets to my wisdom tooth and it seemed like he hit it with a real hammer. He takes xrays and tells me that i have to get it pulled, I say "okay". I'm thinking that he is going to reschedule for another day, since he just took his gloves off and leaves the room. He comes back with some power tools, wrenches, magnets, a level, studfinder, and a screwdiver. I was preparing myself to leave and I feel the chair start to recline. I felt like I was in the "Little Shop Of Horrors" Movie... SAY AH... Now, I'm a little nervous because all I can think about is the horror tales from people who get teeth pulled. He gives me a couple of shots, and say "Now that's the most painful part, you should be ok". First, I want to say that was BULLS#%T. Secondly, that was pure Grade A BULLS$#T. He waits a few minutes and starts digging away to see if I can feel anything. WAIT A MINUTE!!! I NEED ANOTHER SHOT!!! He gives me another shot and starts to go to work on my tooth. Doc says, "You are gonna feel a little pressure". Now, I'm 6' 4" 215 pounds and I think I have a high tolerance for pain. DAMN...THIS ISH RIGHT HERE... Once again he lied to me, he starts pushing hard as hell on my tooth to loosen it up. I was trying to be strong and Man Up but it seemed like I felt everything. My eye got a little watery only because I was squeezing them shut trying to bear the pain. What happened to the string on the tooth and doorknob thing. Next thing you know the tooth was out. I get gauze, instructions, and a pain meds prescription before i was sent on my way.

Lets Review: Tooth hurts,Dentist Appointment, Exam, PAIN, PAIN, PAIN, and home. I look at my watch when I leave and its 4:15. DAMN they are like Lube Stop Pennzoil 10 minute tooth removal. I'm okay now but the shots haven't wore off yet. I'm just mad that I didn't eat before because I can only have mush now.

I am amazed that all this was done in 15 minutes!!

I got a tooth removed when I was a kid (I must be a grown up now..) ...but honestly the worst is getting a root canal done...

I hate the dentist. I have to get so much work done but I don't want to go back.

@akshay: I had a root canal done about a two years ago. I think that getting the tooth pulled was worst.

@kaliente: I know I'm terrible at posting. You should go ahead and GET HURR DONE!!

@brittany: I felt the same way, but I figured I was paying for the insurance I might as well use it.
