I strongly dislike dentists

I have a love/hate relationship with mine. I go regularly for cleaning and checkups.
As my teeth get older, along with me, I find my visits are becoming more frequent.
I like my dentist and my hygienist, but lately???
I get the feeling that they like me and my money more!
The pain is in the wallet!
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

There is a definite correlation, to be sure. Besides anesthesiologists, I think they are some of the most expensive professionals.
My most recent endeavour has been costly, but also quite time-consuming requiring multiple visits. Right now, my eye is swollen, my gums hurt, my eustachian tube on that side is swollen, and I even have swollen glands on that side. My body is rebelling - heavily rebelling - against the work I had done this morning.

I am so sorry that you are going through all of that.
I can understand the dislike!
May things improve.

Thank you, Miss Margo.
I am guessing my pain is due to all of the swelling in my gums. I've been downing Tylenol as much as I safely can, but nothing is making a dent.
I've had positive experiences with my dentist, and I personally think she is wonderful. This is simply a matter of what I need to go through to finish the healing process.
I mean, if something as small as a poppy seed or raspberry seed can feel like a rock in there, when it comes to the mouth, be the work big or small, it's
all
going to hurt.

Somewhat. It doesn't cover everything.
Regardless, as often as I have to go, and the number of procedures, they are doing well.
