I had my first serious dental operation yesterday, it was a devitalization, they needed to kill one of my teeth because it got infected. I was scared af before goijng there (you know, I was, until yesterday, very phobic of the dentist) I sat, they anesthesized half my mouth and proceeded with the operation. It lasted two almost uninterrupted hours, they put some kind of hooks, syringes and other stuff inside my tooth (and obviously they used the Drill) then they closed it all with some kind of molten wax. God, Allah, historic materialism or whoever rules this world bless whoever invented anesthesia, I can’t even imagine how much it would have hurt without it.

    It’s kinda shit in Poland, we do have some public dentists available (less and less every year though, most of them went to the western Europe or opened private clinics), but they only do very basic things for free, everything rest is already private and the prices are harsh. At least it is a good argument against privatization libs understand - “entire healthcare will be like the dentists”, but since they are libs there is no resistance anyway.

      It’s shit here too, the public dentist asked more than the private one.
