I subjected myself to something truly horrifying yesterday

The dentist drilled my tongue once. O_o

You must have been in a lot of pain if you needed that much work. Ouch.

[sugar_monger]

I don't pay much attention to tooth pain, but it was starting to irritate me.

...drilled your tongue?

[bananas_an]

You must have a high pain threshold. Tooth pain is some of the worst you can experience from what I've read.

Yep! He was filling one of my molars and his hand slipped. The drill went down the side of my molar and across my tongue. He drilled a nice little groove from just about where my canine was to the back of my throat. Bled something awful. They almost sent me to the hospital to get stitches. I didn't feel it--until later--because of the novacaine. Tasted the blood, though.

ooc: True story! o_O

[yukis_bad_luck]

Whaaaa? Really? Ow! ;_; That's why I'm scared of dentists!

((ooc: Ooooowwwwww! You have my sypathy. Personal experience with dental pain...probably not as bad as Gai-mun's though.))

[gigolo_miko]

That is why I floss and brush three times a day, and after every meal, too!

[sugar_monger]

I consume unholy amounts of sugar. No amount of flossing can save my teeth.

[gigolo_miko]

Then the moral of this story, kids, is don't eat so much candy. It's bad for your teeth and your stomach.

[sugar_monger]

Without sugar, my reasoning ability decreases by about 40 percent.

[yukis_bad_luck]

Aaawwww. Dentists are scary. ;_;

[sugar_monger]

Just a little.

[yukis_bad_luck]

I hate the drills. ;_; Dentists are the reason I don't like sweets...just pocky.

[sugar_monger]

I adore sweets. In fact, they are necessary to my normal mental functioning.

I hate everything. Including the toothpaste.

What is a dentist and what did he do to your youthful teeth?

[sugar_monger]

A dentist is a mouth doctor. And he...fixed my teeth, I suppose.

[maitolyspandexy]

Ah! I see. I have never been to one.

I believe teeth problems here are taken care of by medical ninja if they become a threat to ones mission efficiency. I myself have never visited one.

(OOC: Mun winces in sympathy for L though D:
I'm allergic to novacaine and laughing gas tends to trigger my asthma. So the three root canals I've had, have been with nothing. >.< it HURT)

[sugar_monger]

I avoid them when I can till they become a threat to my efficiency.

(ooc: Yeah, I work at a dental office, so I pretty much hear screams of agony and the corresponding reasons all day. xD)

[aptitudic]

Oh wow. That's a lot of work for one visit.

[sugar_monger]

It took several hours. And several hundred dollars.
