Why I Hate Going To The Dentist

I almost forgotten how much I hate going to the dentists until today. Not because of the drillings and jack-hammerings of my teeth coz for some reason I'm never bothered with those discomfort unlike most people. What I don't like about dentists (especially the dentists in Australia) is how 1 visit can turn out to be 3 or 4 visits over a stretch of time spanning 2 or 3 months!


Yes I went to the dentist today because I had a small cavity that needed to be fixed and decided to have all my teeth cleaned as well to get rid of the coffee stains! So you would think its a straight forward procedure, fix my cavity and clean my teeth. Should be done in half an hour but no! My appointment was for 2 pm but I didn't get out of the dental surgery till about 3.30 pm!

When its all done the dentist had to take 2 x-ray of my other teeth and later explained to me that he found many other smaller cavities that I should get them fixed at a later date. The x-rays were for my teeth that had receeding gum so he wanted to see how bad it is underneath the gum. So 2 more appointments need to be made to get my other teeth done! Damn! Why can't he just blardy do exactly what I wanted him to do? Always have to come back for more! That's why I don't like dentists! They get me back so they can over-charge me again, just see what he charged me today;

Periodic oral examination (Just by looking he oredi charge): $38.00
Removal sipra & subging calc & plague - 1st visit
(What 1st visit? I don't want a 2nd visit!): $78.00
Intraoral periapical or bitewing radiograph - per film (X-ray lah): $25.00
Intraoral periapical or bitewing radiograph - per film (X-ray again!): $25.00
Adhesive restoration (Clean teeth lor): $160.00

Total: $326.00!!!
My pearly whites: Priceless!

Pokkai loh! If you are deciding what course to take, go to dental school and be a dentist. Gerenti you become rich very quick! As for my future appointments, do you think I should go? After today, I hate dentists again so I don't want to see another dentist for a long long time! Seems like every dentist in Australia will get you in for follow up appintments so they can rip you off summore. Same goes to chiropractors and other professionals, they're all blood suckers!
