Whaaaa, my tongue hurts! (in Off-topic)

Ok this is what happened.

A piece of my molar (is that the right word) broke off but left the filling in it.
Now the filling is sharp, and so are the edges of the tooth (molar).

So now whatever I do, eat, drink, talk, swallow, hurts...


>.<

That's from thinking naughty thoughts, you heathen. now get into a confessional before your whole mouth dissolves into a bloody mess.

Ouch. Well, good luck getting in to the dentist in the near future.

Dentists are depressing. No, seriously. They have the highest suicide rate among any profession. Poor dentists.

Trips to the see the dentist are even more depressing though. That right there would make me want to kill myself. Just seeing some dude that is going to inflict pain on me just so he can go home and kill himself and be happy about it.

It's got to suck to be Shade. Or maybe it's cool because he gets to help kill off dentists...

Who can say?

You ever read the book "million little pieces"? i know i know its a pack of lies, but i think the part where he gets a double root canal without anasthesia is true. actually, now that i think about it, there's no way that's true. oh well.

.Fistfull of riffs.

I have no trouble with going to the dentist though :)

That must be because you hate dentists. You want them all to kill themselves. I can see right through your feigned disinterest. You anti-dentite!

Heh, one of my best friends is going to study for dentist... :)

"Dentists are depressing. No, seriously. They have the highest suicide rate among any profession. Poor dentists."

I'd like to see the statistic where this is proven...

snk, its in a book. same chapter about Seattle, WA having the highest suicide count in the US because it also receives the highest amount of rain in the US and naturally rain makes people depressed so they kill themselves. good book.

Is it safe?

The myth of dentists' suicide rates is dubunked here, here, and here.

In fact, the group with the highest suicide rate are professional poets. Thankfully.

SNK, 71% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Besides, what the heck other profession would be at the top of the list? Coal miners die fast enough as it is. Concert pianists have funky names, but at least they can still get the ladies. Richard Branson hasn't killed himself yet, so out goes cell phone moguls/multimedia corporate CEOs. One could argue that musicians are a fairly depressed group, but how would you explain away Huey Lewis and the News? Even professional Goths are too crushed to pull the trigger.

Now, if Mexican grape pickers can live a fulfilling life you might wonder why a dentist can't. For starters, they're always looking down people's throats. Can you imagine all the bad breath they smell? Secondly, they drill into the human body and insert metal. How much more masochistic can you get? (Do I really need to go on after that? ...Ok, I will.) Third of all, anti-dentites are everywhere. No one wants to go to the dentist. It's just something on the once a year list that happens to fall at the bottom. You know, Christmas is fun because you get gifts and stuff, and then there's the dentist. You just get your teeth drilled at the dentist. Where's the fun in that? I don't want gifts of sharp drills and exotic metals placed in my mouth. On top of all of this lies the fact that dentists couldn't possibly attract a woman. Sure, women like to make out just as much as the guys, but they hate it when the dentist starts to assess the risk of gum cancer with his tongue. It's just a total turn off. So what we have here is an incredibly sure-handed single man with a penchant for drills and masochism. Need I say more?

Oh, and there's always the fact that 59% of all statistics are made up on the spot...

rofl!

Mem beat me to it! >_<

I hope your tooth gets sorted soon Shade!

I had a big crush on my dentist when I was about eighteen. She was from Ireland and had the biggest blue eyes. For about a three years I was a regular visitor. I probably had the best teeth in England. Then a new dentist joined the practice, she and he fell in love, got married. Then she got pregnant and gave up dentistry to become a full time mother.

I've hated dentists ever since. I hope they hate themselves and their miserable little lives looking into the black abyss that is the human mouth, breathing in the foul breath of the rotting tooth.



whoa, what happened there??!!??!?!!??

I love going to the dentist. ;)

No, actually let's get back to dentists. Who seriously grows up wanting to be a dentist? Who would want to spend their days looking into the mouth of somebody who hasn't looked after their teeth properly all their lives?

I mean would you want to be Shane Macgowan's dentist? (If you don't know who he is Google the name or look up The Pogues, his old band) You would be having nightmares your whole working life.

Dentistry is starting to change in this country. People are starting to take care of their teeth from an early age. And if they don't then they just get them fixed these days. That straight line Osmond bright look that so many American actors have. But in the meantime, imagine your working day consisting of looking into the mouths of people who either eat too many sweets, drink too much beer or smoke too many cigarettes.

Then again they get to deal out pain to those same people. Buzzz buzzz drill drill drill........
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgghhghghgh

>_> JW, you're messing up your forum post with that. >_>

Anyway, just got back from the dentist, and it was a cavity (or whatever you name it) so now its filled and ok again :)

downside is, for about an hour, my tongue won't feel anything...

Go lick some cactus'! :D

He won't feel for the next hour, I'm sure the pain from licking cacti will remain after that hour. lol :P

*grabs a cactus and shoves it into GL's mouth* Why not choke on that thing? :S

Hey! I'm not all pain free...

I can feel a hug coming on for Seran though! Coem hugs me with all my prickly goodness! ;)

Too many disturbing things in this thread. Somebody shut it down. Please.

Okay,so curiosity got me - what the heck could 23 replies to this subject possibly contain....

Now I think I may possibly need a therapist... What's the statistical suicide rate for people who have been traumatized by a forum thread?

:P

ok now some 5 hours after i went there, and the sedation has finally worn off...

I think that one would be 17.9343%, BM.

Then again, 82% of all statistics are made up on the spot...

P.S. I hate dentists too.

P.P.S. I once was given five shots to numb the pain of a particular filling being inserted. In addition to my whole mouth being numb, I couldn't feel my right ear for about eight hours. It was awful.

If your dentist ever asks "Look, this is just a little tiny cavity, so I only have to drill a little. You're a big guy, can we skip the novacaine?", say "no way!" and get a new dentist.

That's a true story - I almost knocked him out when it was done. :P
