Worst dentist experience

[Ochru]

Many people hate the dentist for one reason or another. This might be the relief we need for maybe a chuckle now even though back then, we were not going to be laughing.

My worst dentist experience is getting cavities filled. Yes, I eat too many sweets. Jason Hoshi is a good dentist, I don't blame him, but cavity fillings are the worst.

My worst Dentist experience ended with having the best Dentist. Ever! ❤️

I was experiencing horrible pain with my left lower molar. Turned out it was affected by an abscess, and needed proper Dental attention.

The Dentist I turned to was located within walking distance from where I lived, so I had him look at my infected tooth, and trusted his so-called expertise. He ended up putting a molar cap over this tooth without draining it properly. So, my pain and gum puffiness was not resolved, but he was demanding payment for a job not well done.

My significant other had an excellent Dentist located in another city about a half-hour away. This family Dentist was willing to have me under my partner's dental plan, and shook his head when he saw what a mess my left molar was in. In the end I required the deadly Root Canal, but he did it in such a gentle way, that I have him as my favourite Dentist from that day forward, forever more.

Great story! Looking forward to more from other gaians.

Last year I needed a tooth pulled, it had died many years ago, but recently broke. The dentist I went to kept going on about how difficult it was gonna be and "It's not going to be a walk in the park" his words. I freaked out, shaking and cold. The dental assistant had to bring me blankets and they called my daughter back.
Now, I've had teeth pulled before but never had a dentist act like this.
My daughter paid for another dentist, a specialist, who would knock me out for it.
The day arrived, nervous but determined to get this broken tooth out, I met the new dentist.
He wasn't able to get the IV in, (I'm a hard stick) so he gave me some goofy gas, numbed me out and a few minutes later the tooth was out! No trouble no hassles.

One time as a teenager I was getting a filling, and the local anaesthetic started wearing off
