OUCH!

OK.

Y'all know I like my Dentist, the every adorable, Dr. Marc Raper... But I will be only too happy in two weeks when I go for my last visit!

The needle tonight was NOT a pleasant experience... Apparently when they hit it just right you get this sort of electric shock shooting to the front of your jaw and let me tell you, I'm no wouse, I can take my share of pain, but this was beyond my threshold!

He was extremely apologetic, and mentioned that this happens now and again, but he's never experienced it himself and added that after my reaction tonight that he hopes he never does.

I tried to say "That's ok, I've had it happen twice before. That's why I went thirteen years without going back" But what came out was: "Thassss ok, I'vf haadb itp happfen twishe beforbe. Thasssss why I wennnbt thrshteebn yearsch wiffoutd goinnk backh" To which he responded, "I guess it's safe to assume that the freezing has kicked in rather fast tonight, huh?" (I guess *I* never mentioned that he's also a comedian! *GROAN*)

So, yea, he was right, the Novicane kicked in tout suite, ce soir! And we were off!

... and after only a couple minutes, "Your tongue! I'm guessing your boyfriend is happy eh?" - and there we have it folks... the 'Dentist Quote of the Week'

And within 30 minutes, three old amalgam fillings were removed and three brand spanking new white ones were put in their place.

When all was said and done, he added, "You know there's only two more to work on, and the needles are different for them. You ARE going to come back, right?" What could I say, he was practically begging me... and GAWD! is he cute when he play begs!

So stay tuned. In two weeks the final installment of DentistFest 2007 will draw to a close.

Dr Raper, here I come...

It's Friday, the weather is spectacular, I'm off from work today. That can only mean one thing...

Another Dentist Appointment!

Can't say that I mind tho... Me, hunky Dr Raper and Novicane. My nipples are already hard! heh

Open your mouth and say sppplplplblthplplffff

So I had another Dentist Appointment tonight. What I thought was just going to be the polishing and fluoride treatment was also a freezing (well sort of) and replacing 2 old fillings from the 70's and a new one due to a small cavity.

Well, while working on the first of the replacement fillings we all soon realized I didn't receive quite enough anaesthetic! Yah! ...so not pretty. I swear, this is just not my day! hehe so one more needle later and we were back in business.

He does good work, and the new fillings are white and blend into the teeth, not like those old amalgam crapolas I had.

I must admit that as uncomfortable as it was, I'm already to go back on the 25th! lol Cause as I've mentioned before, Dr Raper is Dr. Hottie McHott! And when said Hottie says things like "You have the most powerful tongue I've ever seen.", and "You have a very inquisitive tongue." you know you I want to keep on going back! ;-)

Meanwhile it's been 3 hours and I'm still completely frozen!... fun.... and I'm hungry damn it! I had to watch LOST! without any din-dins. Boo Hiss!

And what up? Lost is getting more interesting. Love the mass of back story on the island and Ben. I So knew he was not born there! And as much as it's nice for me to fantasize that Locke is gone, we know that just ain't true. And why the HELL didn't somebody ask Jack why it's up to HIM what happens on the beach. I guess there's a bit on non-conformist / anarchist in me... Those in authority positions, either given or taken piss me off!

MORE interesting though, is the announcement yesterday that Lost will end in 2010. with the final 3 years only having 16 episodes each. Not sure how I feel about that yet...

OK time for me to finally go get a drink of water. MAN! that fluoride treatment made me wanna puke!

Open your Mouth and say "Kelly Clarkson!"

SON OF A BITCH!
I've never experienced such pain in my life.

OK, so I'm back... with a pounding headache and feeling seriously light headed.

Here's the dillio:

1) I under-estimated my required return visits. There will be 5, yes, count 'em... FIVE. ...and I negotiated that down from SEVEN!!!

Why seven? because there was so much plaque / tarter UNDER my gums that it was incredibly difficult for him to remove, and white-knuckle grip painful for me. He therefore wanted to recommend the cleaning be done in 2 more visits. In my quasi-lucid state I slurred in no uncertain terms that WE were completing the cleaning today. He said "are you sure? because I can tell you're in a lot of pain...." to which I replied "It's going to hurt now, it's going to hurt next week. I'd much rather it only hurt this week." - which only further validates that I get off on the whole S+M thing...

And still 2 times he stopped and insisted we continue next week. BUT we DID finish the cleaning today...

2) In two weeks I go back for the polishing ...and hopefully by that time the gum swelling will have gone down! I swear I look like Andie McDowell right now.. ALL gums. 'cept mine are extra-super-doper-red.

And then when that is done....

3) ...we go on to appointments 3-6 all for Filling work. I actually only have 2 NEW cavities, which when you consider a dentist has not been near my chompers in 12-13 years, that's no so bad! I even impressed myself! But as well I think 5 prior fillings need to be replaced. 2 because there is fresh cavity under, 2 because they are loose and still one more because I swear I can pick up 'radio-free Europe' with it and I think it should just be brought up to something 'this century' And because this covers teeth in locations in all 4 quadrants (isn't that cute.. makes my mouth sound like a university campus) I have to go back separately for each quad.

and last but certainly not least...

4) Dr Raper is HAWT! I sooooooooooooooooooo do not mind that I'm going to be seeing a lot of him over the next 2 months! And when he instructs me to open wide, well lets just say I will gleefully comply.
