All I ever talk about is DENTISTRY??

Oh my gosh time really flies.

It just hit me that all I do every day is go to clinics before the sun even rises, do LOADS of HnE's, scaling and extraction, and come home after the sun goes down.

I swear if I was not taught other stuff in Dental school, I would think that dentistry is ALL ABOUT CLEANING PEOPLE's TEETH and telling them TO KEEP IT THAT WAY after.

=S Where are all the patients that NEED FILLINGS???

Ok I do realise by saying this I'm hoping for MORE people to have decayed teeth, and that, I have to say, is W.E.I.R.D.

But I AM BORED. No seriously. I AM. =S I want something 'exciting' to do. Not MORE HnE's, PLEASE. >_<

So yes, the other 'lucky' days when I get an afternoon off (like today ) I spend it in bed, SLEEPING my afternoon away!
My excuse : I have to wake up freaking EARLY to get the bus to Wythenshawe this morning OK! So I am allowed =)



Anyways today this kid came in to get his tooth extracted, and I gave him LA.. but halfway through the extraction he was screaming his head off saying its PAINFUL!

So the normal Rxn will be to stop the procedure, and give him more LA!

But the thing with kids is, they 'make stories' up, apparently?

Coz my tutor just said to him, " No, its not painful." And carried on. Omigosh HOW DO YOU TELL IF ITS A STORY HE'S MAKING UP TO MAKE US STOP, or if its TRULY PAINFUL???

If I was the kid, and it really did HURT, but everyone disregards me coz they thinK I was making some story up, I would be traumatised FOR LIFE.

But then again, to be fair, after we gave him the injection we did check the 'site', and it was properly numbed.

So yes, it was most probably a false alarm. =S

>_< Errrrrgh. Screaming kiddies scare me.

I'm sure I scare them too, with a sharp gleaming 'forcep' on my hand.
No wonder I used to hate dentists as a kid. Hahaha and I'm training to be one.

The irony of it all still never fails to amaze me.
