I got my teeth cleaned today

[walrus]

Well I don’t need to get to into it but some days some really interesting stuff happens, some days some truly funny things happen, some days some really sad stuff happens. I have made more than I am now and we lost our covid hazard pay but the pay is OK. I try not to think of money related to everything. I keep side hustles going to supplement the income. I will say this is not the field to be in if you want to make piles of money plus you are putting yourself at risk, not just covid but I have had knifes and shit pulled on me in the past, the clients thought I was one of their delusional figures coming after them, these things happen. So it’s hard to answer you question.

Ah fuck I do recommend getting your teeth cleaned. The poor dental people wear gowns, masks, shields, gloves, shit I wasn’t sure there was a human in there. They try talking to you but you can’t hear them through all the protective gear. If you can catch covid from them wrapped up like that, we are completely fucked.

I've had a cleaning that was more painful than a wisdom tooth extract. Right when they get to the lower fronts you're just hoping for a steady hand and that you don't wind up with the Mick foley Cactus Jake smile .

You can't get a dentist appointment for love or money in many places across the UK right now. People are having to pull their own teeth out at home and certainly can't just book in for a polish.

It's crazy anybody would want to risk that right now. I can see a root canal, but just a routine cleaning..... during this huge Spike in Covid cases.... up close and personal at a dentist or doctors office.... No way Jose.

I have had a full check up, and also a polish in separate appointments since lockdown began in March. It was easily organised and no problem.

Different experiences in different places maybe (like it always has been)?

I think it is hugely exasperated by the pandemic. Yes it has always been difficult down here. Cornwall where my daughter and grandkids live is terrible. There are a lack of Dentists prepared to work for the NHS and i am pretty sure most were closed between March and June so even if your is a private practice you were lucky to be able to be seen back then.

Amen brother.

I've had a filling done, a massive bastard, no anaesthetic. Had a wisdom tooth smashed in my mouth then yanked out in pieces. Both were less traumatizing than being descaled

Went through same with crushing up a cracked wisdom to get it out. Luckily it was lower as I've heard the upper are a real pain in the ass with dry socket etc etc.

The scaling I have no idea why they go so hard with it . My dentist went in like she was high pressure washing and carving her initials into stone instead of a 'lite and easy cleaning'.

Biggest regret was having a lower molar yanked two years ago. Schedule was major tight, money real tight and thing was on and off abscess. Got tired of the anti biotics and rather than spend a couple of grand on work and crown..I said feck it, yank the thing . Real dumb. For a minute there I thought my damn jaw was going to break ffs.
