And I read every word of it.
You have soooo much power over me ChiefScott.

I didn’t go to the dentist for several years after moving away from home; started out not having the money, then it was the embarassment of having to admit that I had not been in X amount of years. When I finally broke down and went, the dentist said it looked like I had only skipped about two years of checkups. Brushing twice a day and flossing really DO work!
I have always had a gap in between my two front teeth that I was very self-conscious of. About two years ago on New Years Eve, Mr. Golf and I went to dinner with one of his best friends, who is a dentist, and his wife. After Dr. XXXXX had a few glasses of champagne, I mentioned to him that I wanted to get my gap fixed. Dr. XXXXX said he would do it for free, just call his office and set an appointment. Needless to say, I now have a new favorite dentist. He did a wonderful job (four new porcelain veneers, which would have cost me $700.00+ EACH) and I never miss my six month checkup!
I was born with no enamel on my teeth. My first recollections of dentists are trip after trip after trip of nothing but pain. I hate dentists.
Then I became diabetic.
Then I was in a horrible car accident and my jaw was shattered, and my teeth seriously fucked. And they didn’t heal right due to diabetes. Insurance covered jack.
I am in pain from teeth every single day. Every day. They are in terrible shape, and genetically speaking all my realtives are the same way. They make me cry sometimes. 
After delaying for 10+ years, as a strange coincidence with this thread, I just made my first of probably hundreds of appointments to “fix everything wrong with my entire mouth. I have money, and I want Celebrety Teeth - Britney Spears teeth. (since I can’t get anything else of hers 
)”
I anticipate a 2-year plan of sorrow and pain. But it will be worth it in the end, yes?
And pepperlandgirl! I didn’t know you had the same problems as me! We’re even more soul-mates!

Why, you don't know where she bought hers? There's some aftermarket parts on that chassis..That’s what I’m getting too. If I have to go through this much shit, I’m at least going to have blinding white teeth, supermodel teeth. They are costing a pretty penny too, but at least I can smile now, and eat regularly again. And I don’t pound my head against the floor anymore because of the pain. Thank the IPU for good dentists, rare as they are.
Let’s see . . . I had my wisdom teeth out in 19 . . .90? I think. After that, I didn’t go to a dentist until last year.
I had to get a cavity filled. Dentist gives me the Novocaine shot on my left side. Waits a while, starts drilling. After about what felt like a lifetime but was probably 30-40 seconds, I am in PAIN. Serious, drilling-on-a-nerve-ending pain. So I try to get his attention. When he finds out I am in that much pain, he gives me a second shot. Starts drilling again. STILL it hurts. So he gives me a third shot, drills, and it still hurts. Now I have to decide between a fourth fucking shot and the drilling pain. I opt for the drilling. Jesus, that sucked.
Got you all beat. 38 years old and never been to a dentist. Actually in grade school, they would have a dentist come in and give us all a quick exam, but that was it for me. I’ve never had a cavity, wisdom tooth problems, whatever. I think it may be 'cause I’m such a milkaholic. I get enough calcium for two people. Between me and my son we go through a gallon a day.
watching the Three Stooges in the dentists office. My first visit and 7 years old. As soon as the dumb ass prepares the novacain shot in front of me, I start to cry. So to help me out of this, the SOB slaps me a couple of times. Really took a long time to get over my fear of dentists after that one.
I still hate the condescending attitudes that most dentists/hygenists feel neccessary to inflict on you when you can’t talk back. I’ve changed dentists plenty of times, just for that reason.

Dear Lord,
Please, please let JimmyNipples be a woman. I shan’t sleep for a week if she isn’t.
Get laughing gas. I used to have a phobia of dentists until I got laughing gas. It completely takes my mind off whatever the denstist is doing. I was cracking jokes with him as he was pulling my teeth out!
For you Chiefy…I’ll be a woman.

Alrighty! Hey JimmyN, since I am Chief Scoot’s official pimp, I’ll need to schedule a little get together between you and he.

I’m backing out now. Must remain straight…must…
See…all better now.
I last went to a dentist in about 1989. My teeth hurt very badly for a month–I was gargling with vodka to deaden my nerve endings and then spitting it out.
In the ten years and more since then, I’ve had virtually no pain in my teeth, have lost none of them, etc.
I personally believe that dentists are drawn from a pool of sadists. If I knew that cavities were a leading cuse of death it might make a difference, but I’m doubting that.
