Not funny Mr Dentist, just plain creepy.

Torture
I'm off to subject myself to untold torture this morning. I broke the corner of my tooth, so now I'll be dragged kicking and screaming to visit my lovely dentist. I know I sound like the biggest sook on earth, but that's not true at all. I'm the survivor of a hellish 30 hour labour, so I'm no stranger to a little pain and discomfort. But after a few bad childhood experiences at the hands of my old dentist, it's a phobia I haven't managed to conquer. Wish me luck. And let's hope he doesn't arrive looking like this joker, or I'll be out of there faster than you can say 'root canal'.

Oh gosh I feel your pain I have to medicate myself with zanax the night before...I get physically sick also due to a bad childhood experience ! Will keep my fingers crossed its not to bad for you!
ReplyDeleteI am with you.....I fear the dentist more than giving birth. I have found a new one that babies me and waits for me to breath and calm down........he must hate my visits.
ReplyDeleteThat dentist would have me running screaming. very creepy indeed. I hope I don't have nightmares tonight. Goodluck Kerri, if the dentist wears one of those masks, get out quick.
ReplyDeleteOoohh you poor thing. I hope it's a relatively pain-free experience.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Ek, good luck Kerri. I hate the dentist too! I will have to blog about Dr Frankenstein one day, a dentist I went to in Sth Africa hehehehe!

Something else we have in common! I have an almost pathological fear of dentists stemming from a particularly horrendous childhood experience involving an extraction and an abscess...wishing you well my friend :))
ReplyDeleteWhat is the pattern on his mask - a vegetable peeler? A penis print?
ReplyDeleteDear Kerri, I hope it's not as bad as you're anticipating. I share your phobia which is why I have 2 broken teeth that have needed attention for quite a while (think years!)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed it all goes well for you :o)

Oh no, adult denistry is so expensive. Damn chip!! You'll have to put off buying that beach house now. Good luck, for you & your bank balance. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteGood luck Kerri..be brave...and you might get some jelly beans at the end of it ; ) I have been putting my trip off for way to long too...if Kerri can do it...I can do it..right? x
ReplyDeleteNothing quite beats the relief you feel after you have been to the dentist, you'll be fine and feel great when the ordeal is over. You can do it!

I'm feeling your pain Kerri, I broke a chunk off one of my teeth a few weeks ago and am in denial about having to go deal with it.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all goes well for you :)
Hahaha, that dentist is really creepy! Get better soon! XoXo
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well and you're right - that is plain creepy! x

Ouch - I'm not a fan of the dentist either. Funny, my husband broke the corner off one of his teeth last week too. Hope you're not in too much pain. Michelle
ReplyDeleteOh dear Kerri, just like childbirth take whatever analgesia, sedation they offer you! No point in being a martyr.

Oh you poor thing! I hate going to the dentist too. My old dentist used to have ceiling posters of all sorts of horrid gum disease and bad teeth for you to look at - yuck.
ReplyDeleteHope it wasn't too traumatic.

I use to hate going to the dentist as a kid. I still do.
