Dentist…
18th March 2026
Hello my most beautiful and precious starshine {} xxx
My appointment with the dentist yesterday was awful in so many ways. I had an extremely hard crash as she took an impression of my teeth. It’s the worst one I’ve had for a long time. Thankfully, Liron was with me along with the oxygen. I needed to increase it to 3 litres per minute.
I spoke with the dentist privately about how bad the night guard is, and showed it to her. She completely shocked me. She wouldn’t even look at it properly. I put in my mouth to show her that it doesn’t fit. Again, she dismissed it and said my teeth must’ve shifted, which is absolute bollocks. She was trying to gaslight me. She took no accountability whatsoever.
Anyone would be able to see how bad it is. It doesn’t even cover my teeth on the one side. I’ve taken some photos for you. An old plaster cast shows clearly that she didn’t press down hard enough on the one side. In January, she claimed the lab made it shallow on that side. She would’ve known the truth, but shifted the blame onto someone else. It’s a clear pattern.
I asked if I could have the laboratory who made my old one, and use the same specs. Liron’s going to collect it for me in two weeks. I’m keeping everything crossed it’s fine. I don’t want to see her again.
I don’t know why people still shock me. I still expect them to do the right thing and be honest. Mistakes happen. I know I’m at the other end of the extreme, but I’d rather be like this than them.
I asked to speak with the dentist in private, without anyone present, out of respect for her. I was thinking about her feelings.
My experience reminded me of when I worked at the accessory shop. As I told you, I was usually there on my own. It was a Saturday morning, and I needed to get some change from the bank.
When I got back, people were in the shop, and someone who worked in the arcade was there as well. She told me I’d left the door open. I told her I hadn’t. I could’ve sworn I’d closed it shut. The lock on the door was dodgy, and it hadn’t locked properly. Thankfully, nothing was stolen.
The person told me that I can’t tell the owner because I’d lose my job. They meant well and were deeply worried about me, but I couldn’t do it. It felt so wrong. I couldn’t live with myself or my conscience.
I called my boss as soon as it was quiet, and told him what happened. I apologised and I expected to get fired. He was shocked, but fine and lovely about it. He knew about the faulty lock, and how easily it can happen.
Again, I was incredibly luckily nothing was missing. He might’ve reacted differently otherwise. There was money in the till as well. Anyone could’ve opened it with the key, which was still in its lock.
I’d rather take full responsibility and face the consequences, than lie to someone, especially when it’s so serious.
Lies and gaslighting breaks trust. The dentist completely broke my trust along with my respect for her. I would never have expected her to do what she did. It’s usually the case isn’t it?!! They don’t come with warning signs, but it still shocks me every single time.
I sadly don’t know which dentist you go to, but if it’s the same one with the fishes in the waiting room, then she has the same surname as me. I would never trust her with my teeth.
Coincidentally, my previous dentist had the same surname as well. He would never have let me walk out with a night guard like that. It’s a shame he’s now in London.
