Was expecting some needle action so put some oral Gel on the area, before setting off, and again whilst waiting.

In the event nothing happened except my throat went completely numb!

Always makes me laugh when they do an X-Ray,  and hit the button, and run like crazy to get out of the room....

Have to go back in July for a one hour appointment to prep me for a crown, so that's something to look forward to.....NOT!  Laugh

"Always makes me laugh when they do an X-Ray,  and hit the button, and run like crazy to get out of the room...."

They don't want to get zapped !  Always been a bit worried about medical or dental x-rays and the radiation exposure.  Last time I was at the dentist I had to have an x-ray, and as you say they run like crazy to get out the room.  When I did ask them about it they said the amount of radiation exposure is so minimal.  But I still wouldn't want many x-rays !

My consultant assures me that the amount of exposure to radition from an x-ray is negligible.

Usually it's just the nurse who does it, but I think she was still training, so dentist and her did it together,
and almost fell over themselves in the rush to get out!

Excess exposure to radiation will fry a nurses ovaries in less than a minute, and it doesn't do men any favours either, they become 'Jaffas'.

My dentist won an award last year. He's got a plaque on his wall.

Mine said he chose to practise dentistry because he wanted a well paid job but was hopeless at maths. He hated calculus.

I stole the following from bigmo's thread. Give you guys something to look forward to.

A guy goes to a lady dentist to have a tooth extracted.
She pulled out a large syringe to give a local anaesthetic shot.
"OOh, sorry - no way, no needles! I hate needles!"  the guy said.
So she started to hook up the nitrous oxide tank, and he said,  "I  can't do the gas thing either. Just the thought of having a mask on  face suffocates  me!
The dentist then asked the patient if he had any objections to taking a pill.
"No," he  says, "I'm fine with pills."
The dentist gave him two little blue pills and he swallowed them.
"What  are those?" he asked.
"Viagra," she replied.
"I'll be damned," said the patient, "I didn't know Viagra worked as a pain killer."
"It doesn't," said the dentist, "But it will give you something to hold on to when I pull your tooth out.

I know someone who's a bit of a hippy and he never has anaesthetic.

He likes to transcend dental medication.

£420.00 an hour!! That makes solicitors look cheap at £150.00 an hour, and Audi main dealer workshop diagnostic checks
are a gift at £66.00 for half an hour even if the fault is sorted in 5 minutes!

It would be good to see a breakdown of that cost kenny....

I have to pay my non-NHS Dentist a retainer of about £17 a month, check-ups, cleans and fillings inc in price (probably extractions too, but what Dentist takes teeth out nowadays?) and pay extra for Crowns with last one costing £400 and got sent elsewhere for Root Canal Work (£800).
