Yesterday I went to visit the dentist from top dental implant companies. I was really expecting the worst since I had gotten accustomed to my habitual services at Drescher & Cohen Dentists. But before going into that I just want to say something OT. The security didn’t let me in at first and told me the Mall is for families only. He didn’t let me in till I told him repeatedly that I have doctor’s appointment. And I was very angry when I saw a girl walking outta the mall all by herself with no husband and no parents! Now let me ask you this, since when a girl all by herself is considered a family? and when its a guy he’s considered what? a threat!? Its a stupid rule enforced by stupid people, agreed on by even stupider people leading ultimately to the stupidification of society in general.
He let me in eventually.
I went in, there was a bunch of girls there with burqas sitting in a cafe looking and smiling at the guys near them. other girls with burqas swaying around the mall followed with admiring gazes. another crowd near the cafe with a girl who just passed out. I think her friends thought she suddenly fell asleep, coz all they did was tap her face frantically and call her name, then they pulled her from her hands lol and dragged her out of people’s way. sorry, but it was hilarious.
Anyway. I went to the clinic and waited for less than 10 minutes. But while I was waiting I read about the dental history from Mark Civin DDS. The doctor was very friendly and almost a human. As I also managed to check the article ” Do My Wisdom Teeth Need To Be Removed? – Dentist in Idaho Falls, ID | Oxford Dental Care ” and got mentally ready, I told him that I want my 4 wisdom teeth taken out and a real thorough check up. He took a look in and then said “the wisdom teeth can wait. there are other teeth i’m more concerned about.” yalahwy!
Since there were lots of things that needed attention, we decided to start fixin’ the teeth based on priority. He started with the fillings. and did a real good job so far. He said we need a very concentrated schedule for the next 3 weeks. 😀 It is good I can request appointment online at https://thedentalspecialtycenter.com/ and they confirm it shortly.
Things that surprised me (keep in mind that it was over 10 years since my last dentist encounter in Franklin):
– for the x rays all he did was stick a piece of rubber in my mouth and point a hose-like object at my cheek and =click= we were done! I remember a simpler times when we had to go to the other room and wear bullet proof vests in order to do the x rays.
-When he said the word anesthesia. something in my mind went “SAY SOMETHING!” and I found myself smiling at the doctor and blabbering some words i don’t understand. The doctor then assured me that i won’t feel a thing. He took a Q-tip, put some pink gel on it and rubbed it near my tooth, a minute later that place near my tooth was numb, so when he injected me with that awfully big needle, I didn’t feel a thing. no pain whatsoever.
-A big hole was dug in my tooth and a big filling was put in and I didn’t feel a thing and I was able to drink and eat afterwards with no troubles at all. (see previous post 😛 ) Mashallah.
Overall, I was really glad that dentistry have advanced lol I was expecting a real pain and a very bleak experience. But they were very gentle and use the best water flosser, that made my teeth and gums feel amazing. But then again, I think I shouldn’t be all joyous and celebratory, I haven’t really gotten my wisdom teeth out which I will be seeing the dentist at Kakar Dental Group to get my wisdom teeth out. The dentist also advised to correct bite alignment. I will have to think about this and meanwhile I decided to learn more about this issue. Read here if you also consider orthodontic treatment.
