I know. I think I’m going to have to ask that of the men I meet… “So when paying for dental treatments, do you even look at the bill or are you like, ‘Whatever. Only the best.’?”

I used to be petrified of the dentist when I was younger. Scared silly. And of getting shots at the doctor’s office. When I was 18 and needed to get one or two before college, the poor nurse had to talk to me like I was a child to get me through it. Thankfully her kindness changed something inside my head and now I don’t mind (too much) when I need to get jabbed.

Let me know if you meet someone who gets the “cost is no object” treatment!! Glad you didn’t have to break the bank for drilling and surgeries!

Oh, now I take really good care of my teeth, Mr. Choi, so not to worry! But it took me 4 root canals before I did.

I just did not bother or took care of my teeth before the age of 36. So as the result,at present,half of my molars had gone.The upper incisors are replaced by false “bridged- teeth”, installed twenty years ago by a very famous dentist in Kuantan. It cost a lot then, but worth for it.I do not find any troublesome after using for twenty years! Miss Sally, your teeth were quite tidy and nice-looking when you was in the farm.Prevention is better than cure. You are not too late to take care your teeth now! Ha!Ha! No matter how good the dentist is, bear in mind,the real tooth is always better than false one!!

I actually kind of looked forward to going to the dentist in BKK because it was SO NICE THERE. Like, crazy. And the dentist actually cleaned my teeth, instead of the hygienist! Gah, sometimes I miss Thailand.

I don’t think there’s a chance in hell you’ll catch me going to the dentists here. Hahaha. But good on ya for being brave and sorting out your pain! I hate dentists so much.

Have you sent those gifts yet?

Omigod, I’m so glad my dentists have all been able to speak really good English. I think if I had to communicate with my dentists in a foreign language I would have definitely ended up with a lot less teeth than I have now!

“Leaning into the drill because I thought it felt funny”? Umm, okay, nevermind, I don’t think I want any laughing gas after all.

I know, right? Apparently it’s illegal in Germany and is/was legal here in Texas. I was kind of surprised when she asked me if I wanted some and didn’t have to think before saying “YES PLEASE”. It was weird because you really kind of start grinning and think every last bit is funny and just don’t really care anymore. I remember at a certain point kind of leaning into the drill because I thought it felt funny… that and concentrating on bloddy autopsy pics from CSI on the screen to keep myself from laughing out loud. Weird experience!
