I got my teeth cleaned the other day. I wasn’t expecting any trouble; I just wanted the basic maintenance. The hygienist asked me if I was having any problems. I told her that I was having a little pain on one side with my lower molars, but it was only once in a while. She proceeded to clean my teeth. All went well, until the dentist came in to take a look. The hygienist told her about the little pain I was having.
The dentist’s reaction: “Bite down on this paper. Open up. We will grind down this crown. How is that? Pressure on eye tooth? Let’s grind that. How’s that?”
I couldn’t tell, because at this point, my mouth felt strange all over.
“Call back in a couple of days if it doesn’t feel right.” She handed me my glasses and keys and that was that.
Now my bite and front teeth feel weird. I go back tomorrow to have it “fixed.” Shudder…
The next time I go to the dentist and they ask me if I am having any problems, I am going to keep my mouth shut. Of course, that will make it difficult to clean my teeth.
