I used to Love My Dentist..

But yesterday I had the worst dentist visit of my life. I had an abscessed tooth ( a molar) removed from the bottom of my jaw. My gums were frozen and I used laughing gas and everything was good in the world. He then proceeded to tear out my tooth and roots a little excruciating bit at a time. In all that I have suffered in this last 4 years this was the worst. I cried through the whole procedure and was so glad there were no children in his office at the time. The would have been scarred for life. I am now praying that I don't suffer any jaw problems as it is a side effect of the zometa I take. My dentist did call me last night to see if I was doing ok which I was by then. Maybe some day I will forgive him. I hope none of you have a dentist appointment tomorrow if you do, I apologize.
On a better note my rib pain is gone. I am wondering if it had anything to do with a new medication I had started 3 days before the pain started and have now quit taking.

I felt so terrible for you. You broke my heart when I talked to you right after your appt. So much that since I actually had a dentist appt the next day I cancelled it.....not by fluke as some of your readers may think--I go to the same dentist. I have decided to change dentists not only due to this, but because my entire family goes to another dentist, so I'm joining them.
Love you mom!

Way to Go Julie. I can't believe he didn't put your Mom to sleep as she requested. Or better yet send her to an oral surgen. Evelyn I think you should change your dentist. Go for it join your grandkids
