Had a dentist appointment today, in the middle of having some hairy Russian lady clean my teeth and such. First tooth my dentist checks, bam, small cavaty next to an old filling. He presses it up again (it doesn't hurt) but it sticks. And he's like, "That hurts, huh?" And I say, "No." He feels around a little with that little devil pick thing, presses it again and catches my lip against my braces. So, of course I flinch a little. He's like, "Yep, cavaty. Small one, quick filling."

He pokes that little pick around the rest of my teeth, clean as a whistle. :( Now I have 3 cavaties :( I have to go back October 1st to get it filled. He bought a new car, I think he's gunning for my monies :(

Stop bragging. Next thing you know you'll be posting about how you defeated the Formics and stuff...

(I'm 25 and have never had a cavity either, BTW.)

:p

Why can't quick fillings be done the same day?

Because he has other appointments...

Forgot about appointments..:confused:
Appointments have little meaning at the dentist I go to. My dentist fills small cavities the same day.

My bottom teeth are all perfect. The top ones are rotting away... I feel like a trailer queen! ;) At least the front ones are still nice...

What is it about dentists that want to do major cleanings before doing any work??? I need my wisdom teeth pulled, and an extraction/bridge. They won't even start until $200 worth of cleaning that my insurance won't cover... This happened at 2 different dentists!!! :|
