We're gonna have to go for an extraction.
The burly Colonel poked at the map on the screen in front of us with his pen.
This target here? Looks like they are dug in tight.
Now I poked at the screen. Under my pen the target glowed with a soft light.
The Colonel heaved a sigh.
Yeah. It's not going to be easy, not by a long chalk.
He eyed me steadily like I was the last doughnut in the box.
Are you truly ready for this?
I took a sip from my cup and spat in a nearby bowl.
Ready? I was born for this shit. Let's do it.
A big grin washed over the Colonel's face and he held his hand up for a high-five man-jive.
I grinned too as I slapped my hand against his. If all went well after the extraction, I was sure we would go and get drunk, maybe get tattoos together.
Such is the way of man.
To victory!
We cried.
Hello? Hello? Are you still with us?
I looked ahead to the voice that had spoken. It was the Dentist chap just visible through the dense fog of fear that was clouding my vision.
I nodded, or shook. It was hard to tell. He took my mad jerking as an acknowledgement and continued.
So, yes. The tooth is a bit buggered to be honest. Beyond saving, so it will have to be an extraction. Is that ok? I can do it now or you can come back tomorrow but it looks painful so it would be best to be now.
A fat salty tear threatened to roll down my cheek as I peered through the phobic terror murk at my dentist, sitting there all nice and reasonable as if he wasn't a butchering chop monkey.
I raised a hand to my cheek and wiped at the tear which had burst free. I looked at the wetness on the back of my hand with no little confusion.
Must be the lights, they were so bright...
Yeah, go on, extract away...
I croaked.
I hate the dentist with a fiery passion, it's fucking torture!! Except when I have a horrendous toothache which is even worse torture, I'm crying with you!!
(Hope you have a bottle of something good and strong to see you through :)
I didn't, I got strict instructions not to drink alcohol for 24 hours!?! Madness. I am going to the pub tonight though. I am going that brings me back to life because I feel like a sheep of a man right now. I hate having a sore face
Damn. I saw the word Extraction and I was thinking tooth. Oh no.
Last time I did that, it means porridge for a few days
Yep, the eating is not much fun just now!
I guess beer works for now
Lol, just a tiny bit
You have my sympathy - it is terrible - and that sound.....
The grating crunching sound in your actual head... Yeah :0(
I try to avoid the butchers like the plague!
So do I, that's part of the problem, lol!
It must be one of the primal fears that everybody has, I think :-(
I am hoping that this heralds a new dawn of no fear for me!
Mmm, lovely!
The dentist should have given you anaesthetic at your gums so that you don't feel pain. I am quite horrified at this. Upvoted!
No pain as such at the time but there was a man grunting in my mouth for an hour!
Lions don't cry. We all hate the dentist. I used to go every 6 months and never had any fillings. I kind of slackened off a bit and my teeth have been telling me I need to go again. Nothing worse than toothache. Does toothache disappear when you are drunk? Thought I would ask the expert.
It does!! I was getting tempted to be drunk all the time and that way avoid ever having it. Hehe. I have to go back in the new year. Sob.
oh, the dentist is such a horror show! and so sorry for your loss ;0)
I cry very easily in the dentist chair...for years I insisted on the little mask that gave me a steady stream of nitrous oxide! No worries man, no worries.
Hehe, I do too. I can't help it. I had a tough time as a child at the dentist and now I am a pathetic wretch. I am in great pain and have a hole where a once proud tooth was. Sob!!
WIll you get an implant or one of those teeth that you can pop in and out?
It's a molar right up the back so I can live with a gap that no-one can see :O)
even better!
I agree, an implant would be awfully expensive and a falsie... yech!
my parents each had a falsie tooth! The fake tooth had like a big gold claw at the root that attached to the adjacent teeth ...if you'd like to frighten your children, then it would be my recommendation
I do believe that dentistry is a modern form of torture not only to inflict us pain, but also to extract our money. I've always seen them as an enemy, and their underhanded tactics have gone unnoticed for far too long. That's why whenever I get the chance, I always make sure to spit on them and everything they stand for. To all the dentists out there, offense was meant.
Haha, the money making machine of toothery is real!!
