to have nearly bitten my dentist today

[ginhag]

That was my instinct... Had a molar removed and as he was tugging away a small primal part of my brain shouted 'go on....BITE HIM!!!!'

I'd only just got over thinking I was going to be violently sick.

Luckily I managed to control myself.

I once did bite my dentist. I think it's a massive reflex thing, as people shouldn't really have their hands in your mouth.

Luckily he's my dad so he forgave me and it wasn't as shameful as it could've been

My son bit the dentist once.

The dentist was not happy.

My son was 2.

last time i went to the dentist i was gripping what i thought was the arm of the chair. it was his thigh.

ew try not to bite your dentist.

when my dad was little in the 30s they clamped your mouth open, no chance or biting then, dad is permanently scared i think from the expereince!

I actually don't think I could've bitten him if I had tried (which I didn't) what with the giant pliers and all.

my DD bit the dentist last week, he smiled through gritted teeth and said "oh don't do that now"..I'm sure he wanted to swear and wallop her!

YANBU! I didn't want to tell you this before you had it done but when I had mine removed, the dentist apologised then put his knee on my shoulder and said 'brace yourself' and pulled at it violently like some medieval sawbones! I really wanted to bite his bloody hand off then... but I was too busy howling!

Hope you're feeling better v soon.

I was also at the dentist today. He gave me a tissue to wave if he hurt me (presumably to pre-empt any biting)

Scorp my lovely one of the gys at work did that. I gave him the Stare of Death. He stopped talking.

Molars are very big aren't they? And generally quite happy with the whole 'being a part of your head' type thing?

GUYS

My dentist gave me a squeezy rubber tooth thing to hold, for anxiety relief. He's Hungarian, and has that thick black cropped hair with nice grey bits in. And arrives at the surgery on a motorbike in leathers, with his gloss-black helmet casually tucked under his arm.

I have totally stopped flossing

(Oh and glad you no longer want to upchuck, chick. Got so carried away in my Hungarian-dentist reverie I forgot about your poor gap. Avoid rice, won't you. I nearly passed out when I realised a grain was irretrievably stuck an inch inside my bloodied jaw ).

I am eating nuffink, Ead.

Rather like the sound of your dentist! Mine texted me by accident on Saturday night (had my number as I was an Official Dental Emergenceeeee)

He did swear in the text, Twas not meant for me. He is very embarrassed

I rather like sticking my tongue in my hole (ooooh, matron!) WHERE MY TOOTH ONCE WAS, you filthy-minded mares. I also second the rice advice. Ignore anyone who recommends Clove Oil for the pain. It just tastes vile and is about as effective as treating Ebola with Lemsip.

I did bite mine. He had numbed my mouth and then told me to bite down, unfortunately for him did not removed his finger quickly enough, I thought I was biting on something dental related until he told me I was actually on his finger. Mortified doesn't even begin to cover it.
