patient A came in, convinced sensitivity started right after i filled the incisors. very hostile tone of voice. so i looked at the chart. hello babe, i havnt even touched those teeth yet, the fillings were planned to be done today. so pls, sensitivity from your own decay, not from my fillings.
patient B came in with mom. mom was shouting, firing questions like a professional dental staff.
1. y did u js take out my daughter's tooth? y didnt u save it? my dentist would save it by putting pins and all to save the tooth.
2. y did u give so many injections? my dentist always just gives one n it works perfectly.
3. y is my daughter having so much pain from the extraction area?
4. 5. 6. blah blah blah
so i decided i shouldnt just sit back and give a friendly smile. so i answered
1. If your daughter remembers at all, we did try for an hour to save the tooth, but it was realli so deep, n its below gumline. n i did explain that the prognosis of saving the tooth wasnt looking good. so i wanna make it clear, i didnt just go straight to taking out the precious tooth.
2. the injection i gave was working. lip was numb. the tooth should have been. but the tooth was heavily infected it was hypersensitive. i couldnt just ask your daughter to sit still and bear with the pain while i drilled away. so more injections.
3. she smokes. dry socket.
4. 5. 6. calm down.
went home feeling down. anyone who thinks dentistry money is easy money, if you refuse to even rethink about your thinking, at least dont say it to my face. i may spit at yours.
second attempt of blueberries muffins suceeded. yay of the day. too pretty to eat tho.
