So I went in for the first part of my dental work on Thursday. I was supposed to be sedated but I don't think it really worked. I really felt it and I do remember it. The ad said that I wouldn't remember sounds and smells but I did remember all of it. When the dentist called later I was almost pissed off at him, and wanted to tell him that he cheated me out of $1600. I have only had one other dentist, actually an oral surgeon who called after I had a dental procedure done when I was a little kid.
I am happy with the results so far, but I am still scared to have the rest of it done. All they did was some easy fillings and it really hurt. I can't imagine what it will be like when they extract all the teeth in the back and do the teeth that are really, really bad. They haven't even touched those teeth yet.
I told my Dad that I didn't even want to go back. Then I over heard my Dad tell his stupid girlfirend that my teeth finally looked halfway decent and he could stop being embarrased of me. My whole childhood he walked around with a tooth missing in the middle of his mouth. That was embarrassing, and I never said anything to him.
I can't take the verbal abuse from him much longer. I almost had a nervous breakdown this past weekend. I can't wait to get my own place for me and my kids.
