Go to dentist for first time in 2 years (various things got in the way till now).
They try to bill me for it. So much for free national healthcare.
They tell me my teeth look fine but that my gums are a little inflamed. You don't say, they always get that way when you brush extra well before a dentist appointment. Despite my attempts at an explanation, they consider this justification for prodding every single one with a sharp metal stick. Gee, how pleasant!
Apparently they bled to much, as one would expect really, given how the damn dentist's treating them. This supposedly means I have plaque buildup and they have to clean my teeth. I naively agree to go along with it and open wide as asked. Turns out what they actually meant was "We're going to spray water into your mouth while we dremel away the surface of your teeth and gums".
So now I'm in a whole load of unnecessary pain and, while I enjoy the taste of blood, it's hard to do so when you can also feel its cause. Worst of all, I had to pay for this crap. If I wanted my teeth ground away I own my own god damn dremel and mirror!
EDIT: And safety glasses, mustn't forget those when dremeling.
