I went to a dentist a number of years ago that we unofficially renamed as 'Dr.
Dollars' for obvious reasons.
Seemed like whenever I went to him and took a shot, I would get this intense
jolt that felt like electricity going through my tongue. He explained to me
that he was aiming for the lingual nerve because the anesthetic then took
effect much more quickly.
How insane is that? He was taking a calculated risk with MY nerve health in
order to pack in a bit more work and make a few bucks.
We left for a different dentist shortly after that.

Agreed! Dentists are THE most dangerous
"health care" providers on the planet. Mine destroyed my lingual nerve
with an injection of anesthetic (articaine) resulting in a permanent
paresthesia/dysesthesia of my tongue. My life is now torture because of
this.

Had my teeth cleaned
yest. Dentist capped a tooth 5.5 mths ago. The space he made between it
and another tooth is too large. Food gets stuck & I have to clean
after every meal. So hygienist said it needs to be redone.
Later dentist
is alone w/me & says he can fix it. He turns on tool and is
pressing against teeth on that side. I held up hand & asked what he did.
He had filed down other nearby teeth so my bite would change to fix problem
of large space he said. I told him I didn't want to change other good
teeth to accommodate crown & he didn't like that.
Teeth are sensitive
today. Does anyone know what can help that?
