On Nov 19th I went to the dentist as I had several lower teeth giving me some pain. In 2008 I got my upper dentures done. That trip was uneventful as no problems of the work was done.
This time was a bit different. That day, after looking at the xrays the doc scheduled me to come back in to have the last 10 teeth pulled. He prescribed me some antibiotics to clear up the infection that was causing the pain. On Dec 5th I went in for my impressions. Then on Dec 12th, I was then measured and checked for alignment. The finally on the 19th of Dec was the day I got them pulled.
Doc came in, gave me the shots to numb things up. After 15 minuets, I noticed that the left side of my face felt like a chipmunk with his mouth full of nuts. Now the right side was a bit different. I could feel my finger touching my lip on the right side, but not the left. I told the Doc, so he gave me a few more shots. Right then and there, I knew something was not going to be good.
He started pulling them on the left side working his way around to the right side. After getting 7 out, I was ok. Then he grabbed a hold of the next one. OMG! Geez Oh Pete! I thought he was pulling my toe nails up though my body via my gums. He stops, shoots me up some more. Now I'm thinking my gums must look like a sieve.
Now he says I have lots of infection and the novicaine won't do anything.......OH REALLY?! Now what? You can't leave me this way? So I told him we got to get them out. I grabbed a hold of the chair, wrapped my legs underneath, and told him to go for it. Of course, he was a small Doc and seemed like he didn't have the strength to get the dang thing out. After he pulled for about 6 minutes on it, he got it out. I was trembling and tears rolling out of my eyes. WOW, I never ever felt pain like that. What really stinks is he has 2 more to go. He worked for the next 20 minuets getting the last 2 out.
Upon leaving the room, I noticed all the doors were closed. Then when I was going through the waiting room that was full....The eyes were upon me. One old gentleman said "Son, It sure sounds like the tortured you." I shook my head yes and walked out. Then for the last several weeks, I've had to go back for a couple of bone spurs. I still have a few more that has come up that won't come out. I really hate to go back to a place that I feel has beaten the crap out of me. I've lost about 8 pounds, which is ok by me.
So if you get into the same situation, don't let them do anything if you can't be numbed up.........Unless your into lots of pain
