so i'm sitting there, and the dentist is drilling, and prepping 2 teeth for crowns. i got lucky.....didn't need either of them root canaled.
anyway, he's drilling away, his assistant has that vacuum tube in my mouth, and another assistant walks by. the one working with the dentist makes a comment to the one walking by........"you've got nice skin for your age".
so now, the other assistant stops.....the one that made the comment realizes it wasn't the best thing to say....and the dentist is struggling to not laugh out loud while he's still drilling in my mouth.
sheesh!!!! i'm one of those big sissys when it comes to the dentist to begin with....friggin scared to death of them......and here this guys assistant does that.
in hindsight, it's really funny......but it wasn't a little while ago.

was she hot?

ok ok check this out.
I'm donating plasma, so the machine takes your blood, spins it in a machine, separates the plasma and then returns the blood back into your veins. But people are involved so they gotta do it in a stupid way. I over hear this girl telling this other girl "here you can press this button to increase the pressure in which it shoots the blood back into their veins so it can go faster" and then a guy comes walking in and says "whoa whoa! dont do that, if u do u risk bursting these peoples veins!". Then as soon as he walks away the girl say to the other girl "yea, but i do it anyways". I got to see some people get there veins bursted that day and never went back.

they were both kinda cute, although the younger one had a fairly annoying voice.......
-
I hate needles and dentists, so when I got my wisdom teeth pulled I was really scared.
Anyways, I go back tomorrow to get my teeth cleaned and I'm going to apologize for all the bad words I called him.
(When they drugged me up I turned into a bear, and wasn't a very pleasant person)

I make crowns for a living. Nothing to add to the topic really, just sort of related.
Cap, was it the "for your age" part that got to ya?

Is this an Ava promo?

at the dentist that i go to, one of the female assistants is a good looking short young lady with a very large bust. Now try to sit there calm and civil while she has her "dirty thoughts" right on my shoulder and the knowledge that she can really hurt you if you show the slightest interest. It's tough.

i was watching one of those "how it works" shows...they showed how some now can use 3d imaging to do them. the one i go to still uses that tasty purple crap to take a mold, and sends them out.

I'm at the dentists office right now. I've got my crucifix and some holy water.

Usually those 3D imaging places are placed in a wealthy area, as the equipment itself is extremely expensive. The tasty purple molds are nice, cheap, and fun to watch patients squirm in disgust :devil

Got a toothache right now and a dentist apointment in an hour. He's going to see if it's salvageable. I have my doubts and fear I will be leaving a tooth behind there.
Gads I hate going to the dentist. Don't get me wrong, they are good folks but I feel like I ought to have someone holding a gun on me forcing me to go in the office and sit in that darn machiaveilan torture device chair they use......... :O

Those imaging systems are not too bad, but the models that they later produce are something of a pain to work with. They're great for dentists that don't take very good impressions, which is sadly, the majority of them. The people that sell the digital impression equipment and software advertise it as being cheaper for the dentist, due to the cost of impression material etc., but in reality it's not. The fit is better though for the guys who don't take good impressions.
We use a 5 axis laser scanner in the lab on some cases, so we get the impression, or the file that contains the digital impression, we make a scan of the die, and then send that information to a milling center. The milling center will send us back a milled coping that fits the die just about perfectly. The technology is kind of neat in a lot of cases. I just wish the models made from the digital impressions weren't so difficult to work with.

IMHO dentists, (note lack of capitals) are just human beings that have failed the butchers exams :banana: :bolt: :O

while i hate going to the dentist....as mentioned, i'm pretty much afraid of them......but i respect the hell out of them. they have to deal with friggin EVERY type of person, and more than likely those people are rarely in anything other than a foul mood when they go in.
-
they certainly know their trade Sir and my argument is merely based on the pain they cause me. But veterinarians have a longer training session, and I have had the experience of a dentist allowing my cousin to bleed out after operating, because he had republican sympathies in Ireland, my cousin nearly died from liver and kidney damage, caused by swallowing blood, agter being deposited in a waiting room in a Belfast hospital for 14 hrs

Sissy, try having open wrist surgery to remove glass out of it for over an hour without any anethesia or pain killers sometime. Priceless was the look on the doctor's and nurse's faces when they realized they had given me none after the procedure was finished.
Nurse - "Want more pain killers for the pian?"
Me - "I haven't had any yet, but I'd love some."
*dead silence and blank faces for 5 seconds by the three nurses and doc in the room*
Doc - "Give him a full dose of morphine."
*couple minutes pass as a nurse goes out to fetch the morphine and the rest of them quickly leave the room. the nurse returns with it and checks my chart.*
Nurse - "Now you're sure you weigh 280 pounds?"
Me - "Last I checked, probabley a little more."
*huge grin emerges on the nurse's face as he draws the morphine into his syrynge. As he is injecting it into the IV line he tells me this is the largest single dose of morphine he's ever administered, and for me to relax and enjoy... that I did*

Argh, caught again by the spelling nazi. Perhaps it was a Freudian Slip, since I've been doing geometry problems all day.

ok cap heres a crazy one, not about a dentist......13 years ago I had severe stomach pain, could not even walk, so I go to hospital, (that in itself is strange, had an alligator rip my hand up never went) anyways come to find out I have accute pancreantitus so im in the hospital tube fed through my chest, no food for four months....at one point I am sleeping on morphine and demoral, I wake up and look over to some idiot male nurse who is about to switch on the pump for my TPN, I look at the tube and there is over 6 feet of tubing with nothing but air in it......I yell HEY.....real loud Right before he switch's it on..he jumps and turns around....I say wanna get the air outta that tube first......lol what a friggin idiot, I told the head nurse, I dont ever wanna see that guy again...I never did. I awoke literly seconds before he switched it on.......I dont know but seems like someone was watchin out for me. ~Paul

it's funny you say that.
a few years back, i had to go to the emergency room, when i sliced my arm open. it literally poured blood, like someone turned on a spigot. got to the er, and they did(thankfully) remember to give me a local while they cleaned it, and stitched it. what was amazing, is that i have trouble looking at stuff like that. yet i could not look away. partly because i was amazed to see them repeatedly sticking that dam needle in my arm, and i couldn't feel a thing.

Don't bother, Ink. Penguin is a pure slate of logic. One day he'll realize logic isn't the source of life or advice. Unfortunately, I feel that will be after the butcher ignores a warning on his 5lb cleaver which reads, "WARNING: May permanently damage slates of logic."

Which is also illogical, not to mention stupid, dangerous, and unlikely since modern butchers use stationary meat cutters, not cleavers.

I get a kick outa that too, I'll fondle my lip after a dentist visit until the numbness goes away. I traditionaly look away when I get a shot or something, just makes it go quicker with less discompfort I think, but kinda similar experience with me in the ER that day. I guess I was used to the pain by that point from the accident because I was just entranced by watching and "feeling" the doc work inside my wrist. I thought the last bit of stiching it all back up was the worse of it though, but not the needle part itself surprisingly, I grinded some teeth when he was stiching it back up and doing all that pulling/stretching, and feeling the thread run through the skin, made the salamanders and probing seem like... well, just salamanders and probing.

There is one phrase that all dentists say that irritates the heck outta me. During the teeth cleaning process they will always say "Your gums are bleeding a little." :mad: Oh really doc? How strange, they don't do that at home when I brush. Maybe its is because you have stabbed me repeatedly with that sharp little pick hook of yours! :furious

Actually, that's the bleeding from the inflammation in your gums caused by leftover plaque from poor brushing. Are you flossing each night? Brushing? Using mouthwash? Are you using them as directed? If you were, there wouldn't be blood all over your gauze patch. In fact, the blood loss is only around 1-2 mL, less than you lose every time you take a dump (dead red blood cells make stool brown).

i'm a very patient(for the most part) person.
the dentist office i go to is one of those groups of dentists.....you knoew......a few all work together? well......one that i had for awhile was this old guy. every single time i went there, i had to listen to lectures about how i need gto take better care of my teeth.(for the record, i take very good care of them). the problem is that bad teeth runs in my family. i almost always have some sort of problem when i go there.
finally one day, i went there, and this guy starts lecturing me. i couldn't take it that day, so i started to get up to leave. he goes "wait! you can't get up now, i'm about to start on you." i told him that if i stayed there for more than another minute or two i was gonna knock his bellybutton out. he backed off, and let me go.
talked to the receptionist(as quietly as i could) about this guys attitude problem. they rescheduled me, gave me a different dentist to be working on me, and all was as good as it can be in the dentist office. oh yea......he doesn't work there anymore.

I brush morning and night, use floss in the morning and water pick at night. I don't use mouth wash though. Maybe I just have had dentists who aren't too careful when scraping my teeth. I am not looking forward to my next visit because I have started smoking cigars sence my last visit and know full well how smoking can affect the teeth and gums. Oh well.
-
no......you'll always bleed at least a little when you go for cleanings. i don't know anyone that hasn't.

Babalonian~ya when I say "tube fed" it wassnt into my stomach, the tube went into my chest and was milimeters from entering my heart, so I would have had over 6 feet of air in a tube enter my heart, when the nurse took out the tube, she says dont breath....and pulls the tube out of my cheast, I ask her what would have happened if I breath? she says....die.....oh wonderfull you coulda told me....what if I sneezed....lol....so imagine if that air woulda entered my heart.

My wife is a dentist...and she is not scary. ;) Those who can be scary are some patients. They suddenly shut their mouth and bite my wife in the finger. Or they havenīt brushed their teeth for a couple of weeks and now want a professional teeth cleaning. Those patients are send back home with the order to brush their teeth first and then come back.
Anyway, she is a nice on. See yourself and follow link:
