So I've never been to a dentist in my entire life. I went 2 weeks ago and they said I needed a root canal on one of my molars. I've heard horror stories about root canals so my balls immediately shriveled up inside me when I heard the news. They then referred me to some Indian dude who is a specialist at endodontic therapy. Well turns out he is not covered by my dental insurance so I had to find my own.

Side note. I have a weird stipulation about doctors, I only like women to treat me. Trust me, it's not a weird sexual fetish, or sexually related at all. I honesly hate it if I have to see male doctors. I don't know why, and it's definitely not anything related to being a homophobic, I just don't like male doctors. So anyways on a whim I set out to find a doctor who is female that can do root canals. I find a doctor very close to me and roll the dice.

Well I walked in this morning to get it done. As I sit in the chair I'm already really nervous. I can handle pain, but if it has to do with tooth pain or any other pain in the face (ear, nose, eye), I can't stand it. So I'm expecting the worst. I'm expecting them to dig into my tooth with some crazy sharp tool or something. I'm expecting them to whip out some huge chisel and just hammer the **** out of my tooth.

The doctor's name is some korean name I can't even pronounce. Immediately I envision some crazy older korean woman grinding away at my molar. I can imagine myself screaming in pain but her just saying "oh it's nothing, just a little bit more....". "No dr I need more Lidocaine!!" "oh shutup you silly boy, this is nothing!!!". Anyways as these nightmares filled my thoughts the dr finally walks in......

.....and omg she is a cutie! Immediately I was at ease. She was smart, and knew exactly what to do. The entire root canal was a breeze. I tried to keep my cool, even when she didn't inject enough anesthetic (at one point I felt the drill in my tooth). I calmly raised my left hand as instructed, and mumbled "I felt that, haha". She gently injected more lidocaine and we were golden for the rest of the operation.

Anyways this girl was awesome. Best root canal I could possibly imagine. Right after the operation I immediately hit the ABC store to pick up some Jager...**** ibuprofen.

Sorry no pics of said dentist.

 

No pics = fail thread.

Ya I know. Sorry no pics is fail >.<

I'm wondering if I can switch to her as my main dentist....hmmmm...I'd go every month!

 

I remember when I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed. That sucked and I was scared as crap. Glad it worked out good.

 

I'll only get my wisdom tooth removed if she does it.

 

is that her pic as your avatar?

 

Yea, I had a root canal once and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

 

had one once too and it wasn't bad. i'm just glad as hell i couldn't feel any pain. you can still feel them pulling crap out though, that's weird.

on a side note i dated a dental student before...lots of cuties in her class haha. okay maybe not that many but there were a few.

 

wow, it doesn't take much for you to become pussy-whipped, eh?
