Dentists make my life hard because they are dumb. so there.

All morning long I have been working on three damn veneers that I can't get right because the stupid dentist only wrote a description of the teeth instead of sending a fucking study model. Sorry, do I seem annoyed? Oh, well, good then, because I AM. This is one of my least favorite dentists, but I feel that I shouldn't name him because I don't relish the idea of getting sued for slander or some shit like that. All I'm saying is that dentists should have a few rules to live by:

1) Stop using a freaking chainsaw to carve teeth. They have fine instruments specifically for the purpose.

2) DON'T UNDERCUT, dumbass. I'm just gonna block out your undercut and make it straight again. So if you want a porcelain shoulder on the perfectly straight tooth you carved, and you then proceed to carve a divet at the bottom of the front of the tooth, that accomplishes exactly nothing.

3) Check your impression. If you send an impression that has a double impression or a big hole or something, what kind of crown are you gonna get back? That's right. A crappy one.

4) Take more impressions. If in doubt about quality of impression, take two. Take a study model impression. The more the merrier, I say! Plus take BIGGER impressions. If you send me a half tray impression were you've carved down every tooth on that side except one, don't come whining to me when your occlusion is wrong. Take a full arch next time you idiot!

5) Look at the patient's mouth when they bite into the impression. If their lower jaw is four inches to one side, I don't think they've bitten down straight, and therefore, I can't use that impression for the bite. Just saying. Unless you've got Quasimodo for a patient, I think most of your patients have teeth that meet in a somewhat normal fashion.

Ok, I feel better now. If you people could make a copy of this list and send it to every dentist that uses my lab, or might ever use my lab I would much appreciate it. I know most people have no idea in the world what the hell I'm talking about, but I needed to vent. I will be happy to explain in greater detail if it's desired.

Crap. It's time for me to go back to work. Dammit. My boss made fun of me for dieting. He said I have a boyfriend, I don't need to diet. I said I want to look good in my wedding photos. He thinks that's stupid. He also called me into the porcelain room to watch the space shuttle float in space for 30 minutes. Which I got paid $14.75/hour for. Sweet. This is what happens when your boss has no friends. But I digress. For lunch I had SlimFast and cherries. I love cherries. My favorite thing about summer is abundant and cheap beautiful fruit. Fruit rocks! Anyhoo. I'm supposed to be walking back into work at this very moment, so I suppose I should be off. Have fun!
