Dentist=Kiss of death?

From the time Novacane wears off (like NOW), to the time my Tylenol 3 kicks in, some of the worst pain ever...

Not a favorite subject for everyone to go down memory lane with, but can anyone relate?

I had lots of teeth pulled when I was little, so I HATED the dentist more than anything else. Then I had to have braces, so that sucked. Then I had to get my wisdom teeth cut out, but at least I was asleep for that and I got a bottle of Percocet afterwards! Yay for narcotics!

Yes, wisdom teeth being cut out, not fun (and only one was cut out today..) Wish I had something stronger than Tylenol 3, hmm, never though I'd say codeine isn't strong enough

Dentist = large fookin bill, AFTER he's hurt YOU

You fuckers are going to the wrong dentist. So I am back from college, December 26th my parents drop me off at the dentist. "Can you come back at 2pm?" he queries.
"Why?!?!?!"
"Need to remove all four wisdom teeth." 'You are shitting me, right, all four, the day after Christmas?!?!?!?" "Get the prescription filled, take the pills and be back at 2 pm." "FUCK!"

So I do this and at 2pm I decide that my educated mind cannot not cope with a man ripping teeth out. "Doc, I need to go under. I cannot possibly be awake while you do this." "Did you take the valium?" "Valium?? I took what the bottle instructed. (note to self, save those pills)" "I cannot put you under BUT I can give you gas." "DEAL!"

I still have a scar on my head from when I hit the space shuttle. Damn, I was extremely HIGH. Now I know why they call it laughing gas. NO PAIN and the absurd situation of having some mofo yanking teeth out made me laugh. I was going to visit him later that eve to thank him in person but I passed out watching 10.

Painless. I wish those teeth would grow back.

Tylenol 3 sucks. Codeine sucks. It makes my stomach very upset and my body tempature rises to the point that I glow. That is why for pain I keep something that I would grow in my backyard if the government would allow it. Not addictive either.

Laugh at my dentist ? No chance he'd think he'd undercharged me

That stuff is lots of fun, but it doesn't put you all the way under.

Mix it with valium or Zanax.

o shit im getting mine out in the summer

Opt to get all 4 out at once, so they can drug you up worse than....nah, a Barney joke is too obvious here :D

Spike this is what you do. When you go in BEFORE the procedure they should give you a prescription. Take it. then when you go back for the extraction TELL them that you want to be knocked out. You can not cope with the knowlege that they are ripping teeth out while you are awake. They will not be able to do so but they SHOULD be willing to give you gas. DO NOT ASK FOR GAS, they will think you are a druggie. The trick is to convince them that you are scared and a pussy.

If they only give novacaine, you are going to the wrong dentist (a NAZI) or on welfare or have parents with shitty insurance. There is no need to experience the slightest bit of pain for this. The 1880s are long over.

I had mine taken out almost two years ago, all four out at once. I was knocked out completely; they injected something into me, but I forget exactly what, plus they gave me gas as well. I was knocked out in no time.

Lost 8 teeth!! Well, they had to come out after an accident. Don't worry, I had extra teeth el sharko stylin'.

All I remember is not feeling my head from the neck up and some doctor's asst. telling me to count backwards from 100...

...I got to 98.

I 'Woke' up about 5 days later after 3 surgeries and then had braces for 5 1/2 years to fill in the gaps so large you could have a Kylie concert inbetween!!!

These days...you'd never know. All good yo.:D

I was born without wisdom teeth, so I've never had the surgery, but when I was 17, I had a cyst removed from my back and all I got was novocaine.

Well, my denist surely forgot about Rudolph Hess , I'm certainly not on welfare (not too far from it though...), so I guess it's our insurance....even though I went to Aspen Dental (many places in minimalls all over around here :p )...oh well, better than paying god knows how many hundreds out of pocket (as my family had to do before this insurance )

And the destroyed patch of gums where my tooth used to be a week ago today, feelin fine. Unused painkillers...16

I get severe earaches/infections every now and then. Being the stupid person i am, I do not go to the doctor until the pain is unbearable. The last time I went the doctor told me to take Tylenol. I was like "HELLO!!! I HAVE BEEN POPPING ADVIL LIKE PEZ CANDY. SEVERE PAIN HERE."

"Well, the only thing I can give you would have opiates and thus make you sleepy."

It was 830 pm. I really wanted to sleep. She gives me a script for percocet but filled it out wrong. The pharamacy would not honor it until it was corrected. Like it was written for 500 mg tabs not the 325 mg tabs that they come in or some other BS like that. The doctor was gone by that time. They had to fax it to her and have her fax it back.

"It is a controlled substance. We cannot give it out without the proper script. People abuse cointrolled substances."

I went home and smoked my own control substance. Non addictive, no prescription required. A shot of Jager hit the spot, too. Pain subsided and I could sleep.

Two weeks later the pharmacy called and said that they have been waiting for me to pick up the pills. I should have but I was pissed at them. Fuck them, its a controlled substance.
