I went to the dentist today because a tooth had been bothering me while on vacation. I almost canceled because it really wasn't hurting that much anymore and maybe it had just been sensitive. Well I went anyways and the very nice (very calm) dentist said I didn't just have one cavity I HAVE EIGHT!! I got a crown today and I need a root canal! you would think I had never heard of a tooth brush let alone ever used one.
P.S. truth be told the dentist was nice! (less I offend him twice in one week)

Oh my gosh! You poor thing. I'm so sorry. I thought that trip would go a lot better than that. I guess this isn't going to help your dentist aversion is it?
Dentists suck. I hate them. This guy sounds like he's trying to rip you off. I know you floss all the time so it must be him.
I am sure the dentist is just looking to earn enough money to put a huge addition on his house!
That's hilarios! Only, because the whole "surprise root canal" thing happened to me once too! It's the worst! I have the name of a really great doctor who did the root canal pain-free, and then sent me numbed straight to my dentist to finish the crown all in the same afternoon... priceless. I wish you the best!
yuck. that is always the case when i go to the dentist. the list is always so long. Curtis' comment made me laugh! I guess your dentist cant be that bad after all if he has a sense of humor!
that is why i haven't gone to the dentist in a while. i'm sure i'll have the same problem. and i worked for a dentist for 2 years!!
oh a, i feel your pain, literally. yesterday i had part three of my own root canal from hell. and i still have one appointment to go. yuck. these appointments were seperated by two major infections! dentist only pretend to be nice and like you so that they can get you in a chair, stick needles in your mouth and drill from your mouth to your eye socket or naval depending upon which tooth hurts. (remember steve martin in little shop of horrors) you were there for me when i blogged. i am now here for you! hang in!
I am sooooooooooooooo sorry!
YIKES: that totally blows. It's true; you're going to buy your dentist a very nice addition or at least a new pimped up Escalade. By the way....I think there might be something to the flossing theory... very interesting.....!!!!
8 cavities?! That's got to be some kind of record. Do you brush, A? Hopefully you space out the fillings so it's not so awful all at once. Good luck!
I feel your pain. I've had probably 2 cavities in each tooth and whenever my gums bleed they give me the wrap for not flossing and proceed to teach me how to floss. GRRR.
