The answer is no, kind sir.
Dental work sucks. Which is whyyyyy I always put it off as long as I can. A little bit of tooth pain? Nothing an m&m cookie can't fix. I'll crunch those m&ms right on that mangled tooth until I feel better about my life.
The thing is though.....taking fast action when you have dental problems is....what's the word I am looking for?
Ah yes....fucking important.
Because you see, I had a tooth in the very back of my mouth that chipped about 5 years ago. I had the dentist file it down so it wouldn't cut my tongue but that's all I did. I had about 25 fillings between 1986-1994 so I avoid them at all costs. That particular tooth was almost 100% filling. F Mary's life in 1994. I woke up to my face more swollen than a monkey's uncle. (I tried really hard to think of something funny that was swollen, but my face hurts and I'm on hydrocodone so sometimes I say things that don't make sense. Driveway) I had to go to the dentist. According to what he said, this is what he saw..

Me: Okay, I have a great idea....why don't you give me 3 more shots then shoot me in the face?
Dentist: Okay, open wide....this one's going to hurt like a mother fucker.
Me: Wow, that one did hurt. Good thing we're done, because my tongue just disowned my body and I need another vallium.
Dentist: You're so silly! We're not done!
Me: Yay! more shots!
5 shots later, the dentist broke up with me. I don't know if it was because I told him I personally thought he was a horrible human being, or if it was because on shot number five followed by him attempting to rape a non-numb alien tooth with a ginormous drill I yelled cuss words and pulled my knees to my scalp.
It's going to require surgery. I have an appointment with a surgeon on Monday. I will probably not let anyone know how it goes, because I know none of you actually care about my dental hygiene. But I wish you all years of not only brushing, flushing, tooth cleanings and tongue scrapings, but also that your teeth are sweet little teeth with kind personalities and a love of Jesus.
LMAO.. I loved this. Plus the brushing, FLUSHING, I was expecting flossing, but that wouldn't be a Mary blog now would it?
ReplyDeleteI also laughed out loud! You have been having love affairs with dentists (not) your whole life. I loved the mouth/teeth pictures!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE PICS! You knew I would :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is funny. :) I want to hear the next installment in the dental saga. Unless it's just too painful to discuss. Anyway, I hope your teeth find Jesus.
ReplyDeleteOral Hygiene is probably the most neglected on a lot of people's early childhood. A dentist study suggested.
ReplyDeleteDental treatment is definitely not the most pleasing experience ever. I understand your pain. I had the same experience with my dentist in Goose Creek too. I got used to it eventually. I'd rather endure the pain than suffer the consequences of neglected oral health.
ReplyDeleteGetting regular visits to the dentist will help you maintain your teeth so that you won't have problems like this.

Your comics looks very funny but if your tooth gets in a stage like that then I suggest that you visit you dentist.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one! I love the humor you used in this post. Dental treatments are not always pleasant. And for this, you have to maintain proper dental hygiene at all cost to prevent problems like this arising.
ReplyDeleteI am thoroughly convinced in this said post. I am currently searching for ways in which I could enhance my knowledge in this said topic you have posted here. It does help me a lot knowing that you have shared this information here freely.
