I say this as my teeth are clenched and my stomach nauseates automatically.
It started with the orthodontist. Before my evil orthodontist I had never had any problems with my teeth. No cavities, nothing. Then echoed the rotten news: I needed braces. And when I finally trudged in to get metal glued to my teeth, it started with this awful goo I had to put in my mouth for an entire minute. This goo looks like bubble gum, but, by golly, it certainly didn’t taste like it. It was terrible. Especially if they mess up because the bouncy dentist girl didn’t put enough goo in the teeth tray, so she marches back to have you do it again. This time with the tray so full that part of it starts to ooze down the back of your throat, but you can’t say anything, because 1, you have goo in your mouth, and 2, if you do remove it there’s a wasted 30 seconds of tasting the despicable stuff. I don’t actually remember them putting the braces on my teeth, but I am sure it has only been blocked out because of the agony of it all, not because it went along smoothly.
Since the years of braces, the dentist has just gotten worse. I don’t know what happened to such stable teeth. I brush regularly, and get my flossing in occasionally too. Yet, somehow—I suspect the tooth fairy may have cursed me—I end up with quite the dentist visits. And through the hours spent in a dentist chair through multiple cavity fillings, root canals, and crowns, I have not become friends with my dentist. (Yet the hours I’ve spent at my mechanics, have made us seem like the best of friends.) Not the dentist.
I hate the dentist.

I feel the exact same way!!! And yes I blame it on the braces!!
When we learned how do impressions--the disgusting gooey stuff--in school I actually took and impression of a girl's uvula. Yeah it's pretty awful.
My email for the filingela blog is ktkarrots@gmail.com. I am currently restricted from viewing it. Trying not to take it personally, and only half succeeding.
