Here I come

The dentist was good!!  In fact, too good.  The first thing I noticed when I walked in there was that the entire reception area has changed.  The desk is on the left instead of the right, the floor and the entire walls have changed colour.  It was a welcome change.  The old layout seemed a little cluttered and old-school.  This new area was bright and well lit and gave off a happy-vibe feeling.  I was impressed.  I was there early so took a seat.  The lady asked me to fill out a form because she thought I was the patient before me as he hadn’t showed up yet.  I said I’d already filled one out ages ago.  I was surprised when the doctor called me in, well before my appointment time (well like 10 mins) and didn’t even wait for the other patient before me to turn up.  So in I went.

He had two assistants, a guy and a girl, and the whole procedure was probably the best I’ve been to in a dental visit.  He said to me, ‘So I see the last time you were here was February 2009."  Whoops – had it REALLY been that long?  Yikes!

Anyway turns out I had two options to fix the hole in my tooth.  Either he fills it in again and see how long it lasts, or he can do a crown.  The crown option will cost me $1300 and it takes 2 weeks to make.  I opted to go for that option as Medicare will cover almost $800 of that 🙂  Yay.  So he gave me a clean (yay clean teeth!) which took a long time because rather than going for the 2 free checks and cleans a year, I’ve left it 2 years, so there was a LOT of build-up.  It was sooooo sensitive in some places, but the mood I was in was so strange.  I could feel the cleaning drill chipping away at the plague and whenever it hit a spot that hurt, I would shudder.  I then realised I was enjoying it.  I found myself looking FORWARD to when the drill hit an area with a lot of build up, and he would just sit the drill in the one spot for ages.  I really surprised myself.  I didn’t really see it as a sexual thing, but I’d managed to tell my mind that something painful was actually really exciting.  The only bit that hurt was that needle going in my gum – and that’s a huge motherfuckingass needle too.  I made the mistake of looking at it.  Unfortunately that pain didn’t excite me like the drill part did haha.  I felt my gum and tooth area going numb in no time.  Stupid me has a habit of putting my lip near it, which in turn makes my whole left side of my lip go numb, and I talk like a retarded elephant.

When he told me to rinse after the clean, it was so gross.  I knew it would be.  Trying to rinse my mouth whilst it’s numbed to the max is a task in itself.  Water ended up all over the floor, all over me lol.  Luckily I was wearing board shorts and they dried quickly.  So much blood came out of my mouth.  So so much blood, from all the tartar and plague or whatever after two years.  Pretty awesome feeling having clean teeth though 🙂  He also filled in a hole in one tooth and put a temporary filling over the one that needs a crown.

All up, everything he did came to $260.  I only had to pay $63 of that, yay.  I’ve booked in for three weeks time because in two weeks I’ll be slutting it up at Mardi Gras, so won’t be able to.  I’m actually a bit nervous about Mardi Gras, like staying at my crushes uncle’s place.  I have no idea who these people are.  Oh well.  I’m pretty sure I’m booked into the dentist on the 11th for my big crown appointment.

I can’t believe how close Mardi Gras is.  Sexy gay boys here I come! 😀
