I am happiest when they give me either Novocaine or nitrous oxide. Then tell them to yank that sucker out. I'd rather be toothless then in severe pain or to go through a root canal.

Not scared of going to dentist. I've had root canal done in the past. Oh a little historical Doc Holiday of Tombstone and gunfight at the OK corral is that Doc Holiday was in fact a dentist. Now he would be a dentist you paid your bill to on time. Although I don't have to worry about that I love my dental insurance.

yes, more so with the v.t's, than fully qualified

i quit dental nursing and worked in a hospital, i dont really want to go back to it, it just bores me when you can do it all with your eyes closed.

ive worked with over about 20 dentists

i'm not scared of dentists, but i still don't wish to repeat my last big experience.

i went in for a first-round root canal, and the dentist placed the shot in the wrong area...i ended up with half of my face completely paralyzed for almost two months.

soooo...instead of finishing the root canal, i pulled my own friggin' tooth.

for example, you give a weeks cause of metronidazole, and you local the patient, and you come to do rct, and the file goes in, and the patient jumps out the chair, because the la hasnt worked as the infection hasnt cleared

nah, i'm not the sue-happy type. i really believe that "practice dentistry" or "practice medicine" means just that...we're all people, and we all make mistakes.

that did NOT mean that i went back and let him finish, heh.
