I’ve just now come from an accute, emergency visit to the dentist. It was a root canal job. Ouch!

I went to the dentist last Thursday (in an emergency). He nearly killed me with pain (despite the injectioin) and when he was finished – no good! So I returned to him again the following day (Friday) moaning in pain, for another emergency. It was another bout of leg-flaying pain, and in the end – no good! I’ve been in the most excruciating pain for a whole week now and the only thing keeping me from jumping off my balcony has been 2 Alvedon and 1 Ipren every 3½ hours plus 4 Tikacillin each day. That’s a lot of tablets to take, for me.

So this morning I decided to bypass the doctor from last week and go to the school for dentisty, emergency services. It was a woman this time. She was gentle. I felt merely a slight prick of the needle and that was all I felt until she released me from the dentist chair 1½ hours later. I think I feel OK now. She not only repaired my tooth but she did it without any pain.

Is it just my opinion or do women just naturally make better dentists?
