Ever since I moved from the Mainland I have been searching for a Dentist that uses Gas to help with people like me that have Dentistphobia.
Well, I’ve found one and today I had my teeth worked on with my “laughing gas” as I like to call it.
For some reason…the effect wasn’t the same as it was nearly 18 years ago…. and it didn’t make me laugh at all. I nearly passed out from the gas and I felt like fainting even more when they showed me the bill and told me the Gas wasn’t part of my insurance. $75.00 later plus tax out of pocket… I think I’m gonna try and rough it out next time.
Thank God I have a mother that understands the importance of having healthy teeth and she is helping me out with the part’s that aren’t covered by insurance.
I see so many people here in Hawaii with really messed up teeth and I know that these people probably wish that their teeth were in better shape…however, they just can’t afford it.
Heck… Even a dude from Puna was recently killed in Thailand because he traveled there to have dental work done.
Nearly 10 hours later… my mouth is still soar I have barely eaten anything today!
I need a damn McDonalds Milkshake…but the closest McD’s is nearly 20 minutes away:(
