Tuesday, when I was hanging out in the dentist’s chair for three hours, all kinds of yanking and hammering and tugging going on, the only thing that cheered me was thinking:
“Sneaky Dragon guys, THIS is the worst dental experience of my life!!!”
I don’t need to give details here, but trust me, it was!
Worst dental experience: well, in preparation for it, first one has to knock one’s front teeth out whilst trying to ride one’s bicycle to one’s friend’s birthday party, which also includes missing the movie they were all going to see at the party; better yet, knock one’s teeth out so said teeth are broken diagonally. Be 10, so the dentist says you are too young for caps, and then have to walk around for the next two years with Dracula teeth. Then get half caps so it looks like you mainlined tetracycline in your misspent youth. A few years later go in and get root canals as your teeth are (unsurprisingly) dead. Shortly thereafter, have the dentist take this weird long piece of thin flexible metal so he can saw your Dracula teeth off. Forever after, be unable to experience finger-on-the-backboard-type vibrations without having a giant shiver run down your spine. Then, get temporary half caps put on, only to break one off whilst eating a Digestive cookie the day before your Grade 12 grad ceremony, giving you a look more akin to that of a homeless person than a grad. Finally, get real caps put on. Elapsed time from start to finish: seven years.
