Last visit had to be the worst experience of my life in a dental office. Not sure what my dentist was trying to do but I have never been subjected to that much pain at any time in my life except when I had my leg crushed in an industrial accident. For some reason he thought he would do me a favour and only freeze the area that he was going to work on so the freezing would be coming out about the time he was finished his procedure. Experienced excruciating pain as he seemed to be stabbing the needle directly into the nerve in the tooth itself. Thought that might be the end of it but I was wrong. Felt he couldn't get the right angle to work on my cavity so he pulled at the lip and gum area till I felt ready to scream. The assistant wasn't much better as she seemed to jam her utensils so far into the gum area that I could feel her cutting them. If this is what I have to look forward to for future visits, COUNT ME OUT. Rather have the rest of my teeth removed than go through that again. Will be at least another week before the gum area is healed enough to see a tooth brush.
