View Full Version : Dentist appointment tomoz
At 9.30. Eeeek. I don't mind Peter the dentist as he always has interesting mountaineering tales to tell, and I lie there listening and saying 'Ug. Huhh. Gaaaa' and so on but this is with the nazi hygienist who will condemn me for not flossing every day and not using the interdontal brushes. I don't have the time and I can't be arsed anyway and my teeth haven't fallen out so far. But this strident woman somehow makes me want to throw a sickie.

Don't go then.
I bet they make you pay heavily for the hygenist too.They grind away at you with a sand blaster which I reckon is bad for teeth,and tell you a load of stuff you already know which you are clearly going to ignore anyway.Wast of time and money mate.:rolleyes:
I made the mistake of going to the dentist recently (well, a chunk of my tooth fell out) and they said I needed to go to the hygenist. No way am I going back! I don't appreciate having bleeding gums for days afterwards!
Now 9.30 and am sat here posting. Biggles and Kate, I took your advice:thumbsup:
I don't mind going to the dentist.
The dental nurse is really cute and she likes my leathers :oops: (they do squeak a bit in the chair though)
Don't tell Mrs Tricky :wink:
Good call Ed, bunch of nazis:D
Haven't been to a dentist in oooh lets say 9 years, my teeth are fine, the don't hurt they're straight so I say sod it. I don't have a big love of the fizzy drinks and sweets so I assume that's my saving grace:smt102

I finally established with my dentist that his job is to fix my teeth when they drop out, not to tell me to floss or use the daft wee bog brushes or cut down on my diet coke... Key to a good relationship with your dentist, that. Me wreck, you fix.

i hate the dentist but do go every 12 months.
I go about once every 5-7 years.
yeah, my dentist can't afford a hygenist (yeah right!) so he does the checkups and cleaning.... £85 for 30mins, not a bad hourly rate. He's just about given up asking me to floss.
Watch you don't get charged for not cancelling Ed, my Dentist has a big sign up, saying you'll be charged if you don't turn up.

I think its pretty much accepted now that 6 months is unneccesary. Or it was but isnt such a nice earner ;-).
I have been forced to go for the first time in 10 or so years and low and behold he couldnt find anything other than what I had to go for ( a molar that broke about 4 years ago :lol:).
I'll need three appointments-ish and I'm putting the pain of paying off by only going about once a month :-(
Oh don't get me started on these spawns of evil - Traffic Wardens have a better pedigree than these mongrol children of Cerberus.
Any child that shows early signs of an unhealthy desire to root around in other people's mouths with metal objects needs to be dropped repeatedly on their heads until sense, or a comatose state, sets in. Either's good.
As for Dental Hygenists, the ******* child of a Tax Man and a Barrister has more chance of being granted membership of the human race. They are the dental profession's wannabes - the equivalent of an office-block Night Security Guard when compared to a Police Officer.
I shall visit these heathen conglomerations of flesh, blood, bone and bile when I am in such excrutiating pain I wished I was dead...
... actually, on second thoughts, make that once I am dead...
... and have been cremated. Let them sift through my ashes for my teeth. Ha! :twisted:

............riiiiiiiiight.
What?! Isn't a girl allowed a perfectly rational hatred? ;)
I like everyone else. It's just these misbegotten products of a Babylonian Streetwalker that can burn for a pain-filled eternity in the hottest fires of the lowest hell. :)
Edit - Oooh look, I've just passed 3k posts.

My dentist is good at what he does, however he is arrogant, condecending and sends you to have pointless work done. "You need to see the hygenist" he says "the fee is £30 for 30 mins and there is no subsidy." Very convenient.
I recently went to my dentist for a check up, whereupon he found I needed a filling 'I,ll do it now for you, save you coming back' he said so he did and charged me £13 for check up and filling ! god I love it up north :D

I have a system... The limper your dentist's handshake, the better the dentist he or she is. This really works. With my current one it's like greeting seaweed, and he's right on the money.
