I'm currently trying to find a new dentist.  I haven't had one since I moved here that I liked, and the search is forcing me out of town....I went and saw this guy a week or so ago and he was the worst. I went in for 0ne problem that he ignored and tried to schedule me for a root canal on a tooth that doesn't even hurt or anything.  I got a problem in the front, I am in no way worried about my back teeth....I know I grind them, that's not why I'm here.

I miss my old dentist. She was a badass, and her hygienist didn’t abuse the shit out of my mouth.

I remember a time I went to my dentist.

I had to go in during a school day to get some teeth pulled (because I had extras in my mouth, which caused stacking). She knew that I hated being knocked out (because anesthesia fucks with my brain for a bit, and I fucking HATE that), and she knew my mom and dad didn’t want me to miss school, either (they scheduled the visit during lunch hour). I had to get 4 teeth pulled, and had 65 minutes to do it.

Her solution? A REALLY good local anesthetic, some pullers (basically dental pliers), and some elbow grease. I’ll never forget it, because her hygienist had a look of equal parts shock, horror, and amesument while watching.

After, she gave me some Powerade, a Moon Pie, and my teeth in a small bag, and sent me back to school.

that's a good dentist. i hate getting anesthesia for the same reason. a small amount of it and i'm usually ok but anything more and it makes me dizzy and honestly makes me feel like i'm going to throw up everything i have to get it for like the whole day. if i HAVE to do it then i'll do it but i've learned to clear my calendar for the next one or two days.

I hate it mostly because it fucks with my though processor (my brain) for a few hours. I NEED my brain. I can’t be in class, on a job, or behind tables and fuck shit up. In class, I’d fail that assignment because, well, because advanced calculus theory does NOT proof into “ducky bark Pikachu titties” (an actual note I wrote in a margin once while coming down off of anesthesia once). Can’t on tables, because DJs should smoothly transition. Can’t do it on a job, because people fucking die or get fired.

I went to the dentist yesterday and it literally took like 15 minutes. Dentist wasn't even there the hygienist just said that if she thought she saw something I'd have to come back to be diagnosed but after my cleaning said everything looked good. 

I like that dentist because I have permanent retainers and the top one is too close to the gum line for those floss threaders to fit under. My last dentist used to jam the threaders in anyway even as I was writhing in pain. This one I just told them and they were like "okay cool".
