Nothing makes me want to turn in my man card quite like going to the dentist. I don't know where this blind fear comes from but it is there none the less. Today I had to under go two root canals on my front, upper two teeth. They had become abcessed. The kicker is I have never had any problem with my teeth until the dentist repaired a chipped tooth. I think it is like a shady mechanic who messes something up as they fix something else so you will go back to them.
In a pretty good place now.

Wow! No wonder you're not liking the dentist today. I haven't had a root canal, but I've heard they're brutal. I'm not a fan of the dentist either. I haven't had any real problems, but I can't stand the fact that we pay this person to take care of our teeth, but they constantly complain and fuss at us for what we haven't done. That and the fact everyone has their fingers in my mouth kinda creeps me out. :biggrin:

I hope  you're recovering okay and aren't in too much pain.

The sound of a dentist's drill sends chills down my spine. :eek:

And why do they have such big fingers. is a dentist really a failed proctologist?

I vividly remember my first experience with a proctologist. Ever since that, the first thing I look at is the doctor's hands.  :eek:
