Dentist day from hell
Surgical extraction this am took for ****ing ever to dig 2 root tips out. Cut bone, break tooth, cut more bone, kept breaking. Finally got it out. Talked into another extraction this afternoon "dont' worry doc it's already loose, it'll come right out you can do it" he say's. Nope. hour later it's still in there after I've hacked away for a while. Yeah, go to the Oral Surgeon when I tell you. |

I had a wisdom tooth pulled 2 years ago. Popped right out. Sweet work for the $485 he billed for Xrays and having me out the door in less than a half hour.

Gonna vent here a little bit.
Had a lady come in a year or so ago wanting to take all the rest of her teeth out and get dentures. "That'll fix all my problems". I explained that no it won't, it's just a different problem and it's nothing like what you're expecting. You'll hate them blah blah. She shows up a month later with no teeth ready for dentures. Ok, well here we go. I make her a set and surprise surprise, she hates them. "I can't taste my food, I feel like I have a mouth full of plastic, I can't chew like I used to". Well, no shit. You do have a mouth full of plastic and you now have about 30 percent of normal function. At best. I had a prosthodontist in school always say "dentures are a replacement for no teeth, they aren't a replacement for your teeth". Anyway, her insurance pays half and she owes the other half for them (bout 1k). She says "I'm not paying until I am happy". Uh, sorry, but thats not how this works. Anyway, being the nice guy I am and all, I do like 4 adjustments and a full reline on them at no charge and take up chair time for the past month. She has her mom drop the old dentures off today with a letter that not only will she not be paying her half but that she wants reimbursed the insurance money for the other half. The letter I'm sending back isn't likely to be pleasant. |

The worst part of working anywhere in healthcare is people thinking there’s a magic wand to get them back to “normal.”
Sorry Ocity, unrealistic expectations are the worst. |

She has no teeth and her MOM dropped off the letter? I usually think of people with no teeth as older.
Her smile had to look better with the dentures. And what is she going to do with no teeth? |
