Adventure at the dentist Part I

So a few days ago, I started to have this tooth ache at the back of my jaw, I guess my wisdom teeth is coming on. It's kind of bad actually, as I can't chew properly I finally went to the dentist today. I haven't been to one for a while actually, becuase I perceived my teeth to be very healthy still. And I don't know WHY my dad just HAD to take me to weird dentists everytime.

In Taiwan, he took me to this dental clinic, which I think is the dentist's part-time home or something, cos he was treating me while wearing slippers. Anyway, I remember he tried to extract this baby teeth for me and I don't know if he's too weak or whatever but he just couldn't get it off. In the end he was pulling against it like crazy while I was hurting like crazy.

Well this time, my dah-dy took me to this dental clinic on Broadway, and seriously, very strange.
I was laying there, and she was checking my jaw, and she suddenly asked me "how do you eat noodles"?

"How do I eat noodles???"
"yeah, how?"
"I...... just bite the noodles?"
"Oh, I think you might have some trouble eating"

Oh no lady, I can have trouble doing everything but never for eating.

Then she told me that I have caries and I'll have to get cavities. Oh my God, I suddenly remembered when my boss told me that she thinks I have caries. And I thought she was out of her mind. Anyway, she then told me I'll have to have my wisdom tooth extracted. I was like "oh okay, when?"

"now"
"NOW? NO WAY" I literally screamed in there
"NO WAY NO WAY, I have a huge paper due soon I'm not gonna have blood dripping on my keyboard as I write about suburban women"

Then we settled to just do a dental cleaning. And I was cool with that.

BUT IT WASN'T COOL AT ALL. I don't know why but I just felt like she was drilling my teeth and my gums. And I could taste my blood. GOSH It hurt so bad that I had tears slowly sliding down my cheeks. Normally this shouldn't take over twenty minutes. And she was doing it for nearly twice that amount, THE PAIN. I suspected that she was also doing something else but I didn't know.

Afterwards she asked whether I use floss. I told her I don't. And she went and came back with a model jaw with teeth in it, a tooth brush, and a string. And she said, okay, I will now teach you the correct way bursh and floss your teeth.

What's this, presentation on dental care?? I'm a 19 years old college student and you think I don't know how to brush or floss my teeth?!

Fine. I admit maybe I do need to change the way I do my jaw stuff.

Then she handed me the model jaw and floss ribbon and said, "okay, you stay here and practice for a while, I'll be back later"

So I was sitting there alone, quietly flossing fake teeth, with nurses passing by every now and then, I felt so much like a fool.

When she came back, she started "drilling" my teeth again, OH THE PAIN. When we were finally done, she told me that I have a slight periodontitititis or however you spell that and she told me "I just gave you a peiodontititiitis treatment"

"YOU GAVE ME A WHAT TREATMENT?? WITHOUT TELLING ME???"
