Tooth ache

I really don't like going to the dentist. I am even afraid to go to the dentist, because I always walk away in pain. This tends to lead to a really bad pain spiral, because I avoid going to the dentist for as long as I can and then I end up going in because of a painful cavity or a broken tooth. Which means more pain and me avoiding going to that House of Horrors for even longer. And repeat. Things are not made easier by the fact that my body burn through lidocain like water evaporating on a hot street in summer.

This last time, I had to get a root canal in my front tooth, because the old cavity I had in the tooth had become infected under the filling, because the nerve had died in the tooth. The dentist in the emergency rotation was really cute and really kind, and apologized a lot when she hurt my mouth, and it was only towards the end of the sitting that shit started being stupid. She became really frustrated when I experienced pain in a tooth that was/is deader than a decapitated vampire and refused to believe me when I said it hurt. Still, she was far better than the condecending ass of a dentist who did the actual root canal.
I told her that I process lidocain fast and she was all "Yeah, yeah, we'll get to that". Then she pushed the syringe's pointy ow end into my gums without warning!!! Needle in skin hurts. Needle in gums makes my brain fritz.
After poking around in my tooth, she then wanted to take some x-rays, which meant me sitting up in a dentist chair, looking like a steampunk Chtulu with metal bits and a plastic sheet sticking out of my mouth and drool running down my chin. I was absolutely adorable, I'm sure.
Everything went well until she started filling up the cavity and the root (in Sweden, they try to leave the tooth intact if at all possible). The lidocain was starting to wear off and my gums hurt and I had cold currents running through my teeth everytime she poked the inside of my tooth. Did she believe that it hurt? Yes. Did she give me more lidocain? Nope!

Me: Mruphing OW! (Fucking ow)
Dentist: I have to fill it up or you'll get infected again.
Me: Ahgtha (I get that)
Dentist: It will just hurt for a second.
Me: *crying from pain* fruhu (fuck you)
Dentis: There. Done.
Me: *glare*

I discovered that one of the best things to do when Orin Scrivello's evil sister is digging through your mouth is to breath calmly, close your eyes, and imagine shoving the drill into her eye repeatedly. It can be very relaxing.

Next time, I'm taking a friend's advice. An air horn should make them more interested in keeping me in a state of undiluted bliss.
