detrimental dental visit

wonder if you guys share the same sentiment as I do.... I HATE, ABHOR, DETEST, DISLIKE, LOATHE visits to the dentist. and no exceptions today. the visit to the dentist today = dread, dismay and destitution. dread because i had a bad tooth fixed that required local anasthesia (wa, i had a shock of my life coz i never had the experience of having a needle into my gums). not only that, i was the guinea pig (or it seems so) for him to try out all his cool, elaborate dental tools. look, he has his laser thingy that beeps whenever a bad tooth/decay is present. more than x beats and one has to undergo immediate filling. dismay because i have an inkling this dr dentist has been overcharging me, and now he's cajoling me into getting all my 4 wisdom teeth extracted so he can earn more buckeroos. he subjected me to a full buccal cavity x-ray, in preparation for the wisdom teeth op he thinks he'll clinch. instead, i told him x-ray film i take, but op no. anyway, op is not so urgent, i can do it when i return next year. (right, i'll source for another dentist!). besides, i'll be travelling quite a fair bit over this period, so spare me the knife and swelling (and pain)! destitution because i'm ~400 bucks less rich/more poor. ok, yes, i get to claim 100 buckeroos... but whichever way you look at it, it's bad. sigh... despicable him! ah.... i shall turn in early, hopefully the numbness wears off completely by tomorrow. :/
