Just come back from the Dentist ..... had an extraction, and a root canal (with no injection!)

He wondered why I was flinching .... I think he 'thought' he had numbed me

I'm in a bit of pain (pain increasing!) - the Dentist wasn't anyone on here, was it?

Leslie

Thats a bit "off". Its a bit difficult to mention a further injection when he has got his arm in your mouth. Sounds as thought he wasn't too bothered. Is he NHS?

Les

SunnySideUp

Yes, NHS ...... I wouldn't have taken that had I been paying private.

It's only typing on here which is keeping my mind off the pain

That is a stroke of bad luck, I had a similar tale with NHS years ago, Never went back. I think dentists have a very high suicide rate.

lucky you went in the morning and not in the afternoon -- say 2.30

He said he was Romanian .... I did wonder what was happening when I saw 'Black & Decker' written on the side of the drill

You don't think he was just there to put a shelf up ... do you?

I was going to say how lucky you are to have an NHS dentist, but I am not so sure now!

It's a brand new Surgery, well - it used to be the Co-Op actually ..... I was probably laid on the old Meat counter

I thought it was about bull**** but then realised it was about dentistry ;-)

Root canal without an injection

My **** of a dentist thought he would do my root canal in two stages (I've had 3 or 4 previously without issue), the first with an injection and then the following week I went back to have it finished.
He says to me 'I've done all the hard work, so you won't need a jab'
3 minutes of sheer agony later I ripped all the gubbins out of my mouth, threw it on the floor, gave him a Paddington hard stare and never went back.

I'll be finding a new dentist shortly.

And that was a private dentist.

SunnySideUp

He did say, in broken English, "Do You Hurting?" ... hard to get across some words with a vice, hand, elbow and drill in your mouth!

I did consider grabbing his bollox - a mutual agreement type thing, you know?
