i had a bad experience with a dentist as a kid, so i rarely went to the dentist. 5-6 years ago, my mom had $3k saved up for medical that she had to use, so we got a lot of my bad teeth pulled and a couple of root canals done. last year, with the miracle of medicaid, i got the rest of my bad teeth pulled and dentures made. thankfully this last year's dentist was super super nice and thorough. he remarked how well i "behaved". i was counting how many he was extracting, and before i knew it, he was all "all done" and i was like "wait...i only counted 5...you did all 8?!?!?" xD sure some of it hurt, but i kept telling myself it'd be over before i knew it. then after all that, i went to work. people at my job thought i was insane, but i just told them that i wouldn't be able to talk for a few days and if i needed to sit down, i would have to, but i'd try to get my job done as normal. i really did love that job :(
