That's malpractice, plain and simple! How awful! It's amazing he's still in business.
Oh Papa I'm so sorry. When I was 12 my new dentist had to fill a cavity when we lived in Texas. He didn't allow parents back with you. I was scared and crying, he slapped my face told me to sit in the damn chair and because I was being a cry baby I didn't get the shot to numb my mouth. Every time I cried out he would slap me. I never told anyone I was too afraid of him. But I brushed my teeth 3 or 4 times a day to avoid future visits.
He died 4 years later from a heart attack.
((((((((((Evie)))))))))) That's child abuse as well as malpractice. What a freakin' jerk !!!!!Oh Papa I'm so sorry. When I was 12 my new dentist had to fill a cavity when we lived in Texas.

I didn't go back to a dentist until after I was married and my husband said "It's time, we need to go get our teeth cleaned." I was like okay and freaking out inside.
I explained to my new Alabama dentist what I had experienced and he gave me the mickey nose to get my teeth cleaned. I like my dentist now.

Jerry is right! What a maniac!
It's really depressing hearing about the awful dentists out there. I guess I was lucky that I had a fairly benign one as a kid. He was a friend of my parents' from church.
How about a funny dentist story for a change? About 10 years ago, I had 4 teeth, 3 on the top and my last remaining wisdom tooth pulled out. My dentist insisted that I don't go to his office alone, that someone drive me home. I laughed and told him about my baseball accident of years before and that I would be fine. But he insisted, he wasn't going to pull them, if I didn't have a driver.
My dad went with me, on the day of my appointment. When it was over, he dashed out to the car and got into the driver's seat. I laughed and told him that I was fine and could drive, but he wouldn't budge. I would have had to drag him out of the seat. LOL

He is long since dead. I am sure he retired as soon as he got his daughter through college. Poor girl was never allowed to wear tennis shoes as he thought they were bad for your feet. Quack quack.
My parents never believed in suing anyone. I lived....although if I had any brain damage I overcame it on my own.
My grandfather had a bad experience with a dentist, when he was a kid and never went to a dentist again, for his entire life. The poor guy suffered from the pain of bad teeth and used to chew cigar tobacco, to dull the pain. Everyone tried to get him to go to a dentist, but he always refused.I didn't go back to a dentist until after I was married and my husband said "It's time, we need to go get our teeth cleaned."

Methinks you like the Mickey Nose, Princess.
It's just as well you had a driver, even if you felt OK. What's the harm? I'm glad your dad didn't budge.
Thanks, Sandy. I had a deep cleaning, a few months after that. He stuck me with that Novocaine needle everywhere in my mouth. He must have stabbed me with it about 5 times. I felt worse, than when I had the teeth pulled. I had to sit down and relax for about 1/2 hour, before I felt well enough to go home.

Man, maybe I'm not so weird to be afraid of dentists. I think I'm going to have to get a Mickey nose, not hooked to anything, because I will flip out, but maybe a new dentist will be careful with the crazy woman wearing a Mouse nose to the dentist!
Thanks, Sandy.
Really? I didn't think Novocaine would affect a person like that. Of course, I've never had that many shots at once.
I was woozie, Sandy, it must have been the Novocaine. Maybe the next time, I will get a "Mickey Nose".

Now, that might make you woozy. My dentist says he clears your system by pumping oxygen through the "Mickey nose," which clears your head. But that other dentist definitely didn't do that, and I was so disoriented I had trouble writing out the check for the visit. Who knows what your dentist will do.
I think Novocain goes to my brain! Or maybe it is the trauma of going to the dentist Fuzzes up my brain.

They have to turn it down when I start giggling.

I only had the "Mickey Nose" once and that was when I had my tonsils removed, when I was 3 years old. My parents lied to me, they told me that we were going to play cowboys and indians. Next thing I knew, I was being strapped to a table and the Mickey Nose was put on my face. Yes, I remember that.They have to turn it down when I start giggling.

I had a friend who said she couldn't use gas because she laughed so much the dentist couldn't work on her teeth! She was a very giggly person, though. She was fun. She laughed a lot, and it was contagious, and I used to laugh with her. I think I need to laugh more. Only problem is, I have a weird sense of humor, and I sometimes find things funny that no one else does, and then they all think something's funny, and I think it's just stupid.
