operasteers | still stand by the fact that dental extractions are Hot

got my wisdom teeth removed and

what an experience

i kept thinking to myself "pressure is different from pain pressure is different from pain pressure is different from pain aaAH" while the tv in the operating room was playing young sheldon and friends (two shows that i, personally, don't care all that much for) and idk if it's my sensory issues or dentists are just... rough... i think when they were turning my head it hurt worse than the actual extraction (minus when they first put in the shot for the numbing)

right before the operation the specialist asked if i had any questions

me: what do you do with the teeth afterwards?
specialist: they get put in bio hazard waste
me: are people allowed to keep them?
specialist: did you want to keep yours? (turns to other dentist in the room) can she keep them?
dentist: they go into bio hazard
dentist: no

which i thought was funny

but overall i think i handled it p well! gives me confidence for getting a tattoo in the future (and writing even Hotter and Sexier dentist scenes that would honor the spirit of little shop of horrors)
