I have a cute as hell dermatologist--I love going to him.<br /><br />@ Vegas Flea: Good idea. I used to tell dentists that I have my own guy back east and I just want a cleaning and take care of whatever looks to be an emergency. Of course, nothing was. I should have taken that approach with this dentist.Vegas Linda Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653067016683159930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-28510704358715110662010-04-27T17:09:37.078-07:002010-04-27T17:09:37.078-07:00I've had a ton of dental work done lately, and...I've had a ton of dental work done lately, and you are correct. <br /><br />However, if you're semi-firm with them about what exactly you'll have done, nothing more, nothing less, they tend to back off.<br /><br />Speaking for myself, I tell them,<br /><br />"Cleaning and fixing cavities, that's it, that's all, don't even mention anything else."<br /><br />It seems to work.<br /><br />As you know, I've had two root canals in the past 6 months. However, I can honestly say that they were both necessary, as I saw the pictures and x-rays. I have soft Irish/Welsh teeth and always need a ton work. But, by telling them beforehand that I only want the absolute minimum done, seems to work.<br /><br />Good luck!!The Vegas Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06884278953384436601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-71692328111484650442010-04-27T16:42:11.398-07:002010-04-27T16:42:11.398-07:00I'm very lucky.

Every one I have ever met is just plain weird..like they really wanted to be a doctor and could not make it and every woman I have ever met working in a dental office is a bitch; they are so rude! I also have a healthy fear of dentist because when I was 8 months pregnant one but his knee in my crotch; still give me the creeps ..I never go alone..and another time one nearly killed me because I was allergic to bonding agent and he had NO epi in his office..and besides all that how dare they charge SO MUCH..I swear they take complete advantage of your pain..because they can!Doreen McGettiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11691803968607905576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-43926612909933146892010-04-27T10:21:42.733-07:002010-04-27T10:21:42.733-07:00OMG I am so with you!!! and my niece works for one...OMG I am so with you!!! and my niece works for one and I still feel that way....they are always looking for trouble so they can get more money out of you!! It is sad, isn't it?<br /><br />I hate the dentist because I have a small mouth and it hurts to keep it open (feel free to think dirty thoughts about what I DONT like to do!!) so dental work is ALWAYS painful or uncomfortable.<br /><br />And.....I live about 45 minutes south of Albany and I read you are moving here for awhile??? I am friends with Julie (47 and starting over) but I would love to meet you in person...I will have to keep an eye on your blog to see if you are appearing anywhere for maybe a book signing??? I think I need one of your books... I have a bastard exhusband too...<br /><br />Jill from NYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
