It’s done! It’s done!
And it’s the day AFTER my tooth extraction.
My new dentist is probably the best in the entire country. He is on my Super Star list even though he does his work from an exercise ball.
Because:
- There were no needles to accomplish numbness.
- He was strong and reassuring and explained every step of the way.
- It only took 30 minutes.
- AND THERE WAS NO PAIN!!!!!! Not during the procedure and not after and not today (the day after).
What more could anyone ask?
- Well, you might want to have a reassuring dental assistant too. Ruth Ann is another star in that office and is very sweet and reassuring.
- And you might want to know if the office is efficient and knows you or remembers you. Well, I told them once that I had an adverse reaction to epinephrine and they had that on record and didn’t use it!
The whole happy event yesterday reminds me of a (true) story.
Once upon a time I was a substitute teacher for a third grade classroom (for one day).
I had no control and the children literally went wild. They were so loud they couldn’t hear me begging them to simmer down.
And one red headed little boy locked himself in the bathroom. I had to call another teacher in for help.
What does this have to do with dentists you ask? Well, I had an appointment after class. And I was never so happy to get into a dentist chair!
I know. My long ago story doesn’t really seem to fit this current extraction episode. But, actually, it does because it was my first happy dentist-experience and yesterday was my second.
