The only time it was ever terrible for me was when I had a crown done (they made the piece right there which made the visit all the longer) and my gob was open all of about three hours. I have TMJ. I think the thing that makes me the most nuts is when they try to have a conversation with me . . . why the heck do they think it's easy for me to chat them up w/out the full use of my mouth?

I, too, seriously loathe dental work -- even routine cleanings make me grab the chair arms in a death grip. <br /><br />Once, during a filling, my dentist (who is a family/parish friend) asked if I wanted to go without drugs because the cavity was so small. I looked at him like he was insane. He said "You've given birth with no anesthesia, this will be no problem."<br /><br />Clearly, he does not know me at all. ;)Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16332125903937752882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-89309417428073069502011-02-01T12:15:26.758-05:002011-02-01T12:15:26.758-05:00Cheryl,

Though I don't enjoy going to the gyn, or getting a mammo, I'd do that any day rather than go to the dentist.<br /><br />Thanks, Jen. I must say that the only thing that made my appointment tolerable was knowing I could go home and just have a "baby day." Be sure to schedule your appointments on a day when you can relax afterward.<br /><br />Thanks for your candle, Sara. Doing some laundry, lesson plans -- enjoying knowing I don't have to go anywhere.<br /><br />Oh, Jamie, and Jenny, you are so fortunate. I had a lot of cavities after I had orthodontics (way back in the dark ages) and, to compound it, I have my wisdom teeth. I have some fillings that are old and deteriorating and they need to be replaced now. That's what I was doing yesterday -- having silver fillings drilled out of three teeth -- one wisdom tooth practically in my throat -- and replaced. That's why it took so long and required so much drilling. You girls must have great teeth!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-81304063440646482492011-02-01T11:18:48.241-05:002011-02-01T11:18:48.241-05:00I am glad to hear you survived.

The <i>only</i> advantage to dental work over surgery is, I guess, that you get to keep all your clothes on. ;-)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130102521697018241.post-42568302769201663152011-02-01T09:39:33.614-05:002011-02-01T09:39:33.614-05:00Poor Barbara. :-( Rosie was at the dentist yeste...Poor Barbara. :-( Rosie was at the dentist yesterday, too, to check out a chipped tooth, but she's an easy going, open to anything kind of girl and didn't mind in the least. <br /><br />As for the ice, we were supposed to get some yesterday, too. We had a severe weather alert and everything, but on the map, we looked too far south to get anything at all...and we didn't! Tonight, maybe, but I'm still hoping it misses us. :-)<br /><br />Hope you feel better, Barbara.<br /><br />Love,<br />JennieJennie C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14027736832723636538noreply@blogger.com
