dental glory, part II

The last six weeks or so I have been very frustrated going to the dentist. For my $200 that I paid, I have been to the dentist like 7 times already, and have to go at least 1-2 more time to have it permanently sealed. The problem was that the temporary back that they put on my tooth kept falling off. I work for a doctor's office, so I know about the "annoying patients" that we have, but I now fear I am becoming that kind of patient myself.

To make matters worse, I thought that my dentist was harrassing me (Harrassment Mistake!) because they put me with the young guy. Usu. I prefer to go to a female dentist because their hands are smaller and they don't stretch out my mouth as much. Also, to be biased, I assume that female dentist would have a more gentle touch. I felt that this young male dentist was crowding over me too much, and I thought that he was harrassing me. So, I requested to have the female dentist work on my mouth, at which time she explained to me that this male dentist was left handed, therefore he had to hoover over the patients to reach for the instruments (the dental office is arranged and equipped only for right-handed people).

Then I went back to the male dentist b/c the female dentist was too difficult to get an appointment with anyway. I think that the young male dentist acutally is highly competent, I can tell that he is a perfectionist, so I have been sacrificing my personal space to go to him.
