Long Postponed Trip to Dentist

After reading this post title you are probably saying...yes Belinda...we know you are a procrastinator.  I will admit to that, but in this case it goes a lot deeper.  When I was 8 years old my two front teeth would not come out and I had to have oral surgery.  I had previously been traumatized by other dentists and would usually put up a good fight, my mother said no more...dad said "how bad can it be?"  He soon found out!

While it was a horrible experience... I can now admit to getting a sick pleasure at seeing my dad suffer and kind of playing it up a bit (shame on me) jajajajaja!  I also have (and this is not make believe) a terrible fear of needles.

Private parking exclusive to the Dental Center.
No more parking meters to feed or parking tickets to pay.

I believe I may have been banned from Castle Dental Centers in Houston after I screamed my head off when they were pulling two of my wisdom teeth.  They had the nerve to ask me to please be quiet because I was scaring the children, lol... I.NEVER returned to that horrible place again!  If they had sedated me properly, I would not have felt the pain!

I have been grinding my teeth for years and my night guard has taken a beating and was in need of replacement.  I had a filling that fell out years ago but that had not bothered me until recently.  So needles or not, I had to put on my big girl panties and have the matter resolved.

I think I did pretty good...I did not scream when he twice injected me.  He took it like a trooper when he placed the mold mixture in my mouth and I gagged and almost threw up on him.  He did not seem to be annoyed when I did not follow his instructions to breath through my nose instead of my mouth.  All in all I believe I did not give any cause to be banned from this dental practice :D

I think if this wonderful Dentist could put up with me...well, he can put up with anybody :)

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
