I got my teeth cleaned today

[walrus]

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 .

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.

Yup, gotta say, that sounds pretty shitty

Ha!
