Tostitos = Home Dentistry

[The Johnny]

I have a theory, that the majority of surgeons and dentists are sadistic.

[The Johnny]

Or in the case of liking watching gore, id include paramedics to that grouping.

I'd think that if a medical practitioner were to hurt you, it would be a matter of ineptitude rather than them getting their jollies from it.

Surely you don't think...?

the topic of this thread cracked me up

I have the opposite problem with anaesthetic.

I need a double (if not triple) dose just to have a filling done.  My first filling was hilariously bad.  I was like "is this actually working?" and then the dentist was like "OK, lie back now" and then there was me furiously pounding the arm of my chair and making frantic waving motions with my other hand.

Twice.

And they never believe me when I say I need more than what they normally give.  They look at me like I'm a drug addict or something.  Until the drilling starts, at least.

[Freeky]

Sounds like we have the same problem. They gave me one dose, and it didn't work, so they gave me more. and then it wore off, so they gave me more.

man, when i got my wisdom teeth out, i had a great time.  i requested "happy" pills as i hadn't gone to the dentist for quite some time.  so i got nitrous and valium.  the entire time i had the theme music from indiana jones stuck in my head.  "we're after the lost ark!!"  there was a bit of adrenaline in each shot i got too - talk about a rush!  we saved the last tooth for last cuz it was impacted and the dentist wasn't sure if he was going to be able to remove it.  by then i was pretty used to it and i kept egging him on, "come on man! you can do it! you're just not pulling hard enough!"

he yanked and yanked to no avail and i ended up having to go see an oral surgeon the next day.  being unconcious for teeth pulling is way less of an adventure.

Im not saying they are hurting you beyond the task they have to do, but its implicit in just what they do in the operation itself.

Dentistry seems good money as a profession, but i dont particularly enjoy cutting people open or watching blood or watch them twitch; thus, i never considered becoming a dentist.

Sounds like my experiences.  Also, they wear off too quickly.  Doesn't help that I hate not being fully aware of what they are doing, but some pain (most) is too much.

So I had a molar pulled two months ago. It was a hellish ordeal for me because I metabolize the anisthetic quickly. And it makes me shake a lot, so I can't sit still. But anyway. When my dentist considered himself finished, I heard him say to the nurse "There's still a piece in there." Well, I wasn't going to do anything about it, they had to cut the bitch out while the numbness wore off and stabbed me in the cheek besides, so I was done with dentists for a while.

Today, I had half a big bag of Tostito chips, and just now I pulled a big piece of tooth out of my gums. I'm kind of relived, because I was worried that I'd have to go back to get it taken care of, and I already owe them money.

Edit: To fill in the gaping holes of reason here, I was associating the sharp pokey bits with stimulation, which made the tooth bit come to the surface. I always seem to leave out about fifty percent of the important information...

Right now Im eating tostitos with cheese-jalapeño.

No teeths have fallen off yet.

Well, mine was one that was mostly gone BEFORE it got pulled, and when it was pulled it left some behind. And its infected as hell.

Dental hygiene ftw.

Pulling a wisdom tooth that is under a fibric gum does not end in a visually pleasing result.

[Shibboleet The Annihilator]

P.S. If your dentist fucks up your mouth, they are responsible for their fuckup.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I'm 33 and haven't seen any signs of wisdom tooth growing in-ness in my face hole.

What's the deal

YOU'RE FUCKED.  THEY GREW IN BACKWARDS, AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA CHEW YOURSELF TO DEATH.
