I hate the dentist

I went to the dentist last night and after an hour of drilling and filling, scraping and picking I feel worse than when I went in there. I had no pain when I went in there and now this morning my mouth is so swore. I hate the dentist, well not the actual guy, he is a pretty good guy but I hate the work he does. I would hate to see what my blood pressure goes up to when at the dentist. I try to relax and breath calmly when I am in that chair but every time I start to sweat like crazy. He ask a lot if I am okay and all I can think is "no, I'm not but just get this over with" I have told him a few times, "if I lift my left hand, stop, otherwise just keep going and get this over with". I can deal with most of the pain, I just want him to get it done. Don't stop to ask me how I am doing, don't give me the small talk once you start, just get it over with and let me get out of here.

LOL, right, not a popular profession. No one wants to see them, of course we all need them at some point.

Robert Klein has a routine about that where he points out that "you pay him to hurt you." No kidding! I have a dentist appointment Monday. I take a couple of Tylenol 2-3 hours before the appointment (never aspirin because that can make your gums bleed more) and usually don't have a lot of pain.

You do pay him to hurt you LOL. Good luck on your appointment, That is a good idea about the Tylenol wish I would have done that.
