ten cavities?!? Was she bottle-fed diet cola from the moment she was born???

When I was little, I had a bridge across my upper front teeth until I was about 6. For some reason, my front baby teeth had come in without enamel, so they weren't as resistant to cavities or other dental issues. So, the dentist fitted me with that bridge until I was a bit older (and had them extracted), then kept…

Oh, of course! It's absurd that this dentist wanted to do all 4 root canals at once. That makes me sick to my stomach. Breaking it down would have been a better option, assuming that the child did actually need all of that work done. This is super sad :(

I know that pediatric dentists exist for a reason, and that many children do get lots of cavities. HOWEVER....this happened to my best friend:

RN who used to work for an oral surgery practice here. A three-year-old, with that many cavities, requiring that much sedation should have been admitted to an ambulatory surgery facility and had the procedure performed under anesthesia. Or at least with sedation supervised by an anesthesiologist. And if the dentist…

10 cavities on a baby, sure okay, there could be reasons for that. But the parents agreed to 4 root canals on a three year old?! What?! Okay, I get it that maybe the parents were intimidated by the dentist or not educated about dental procedures, but WHAT THE HELL. What parents say '4 root canals on our 3 year old,…

Even if she did need all this work (and I have a hard time believing she did), no self-respecting dentist would schedule all that work for one visit. This work should have been spread out over the course of a month or two. Dentists would not do this scale of work on an adult in one visit, why do it one a…

And if he loves music, WHY DOES HE KEEP DOING THOSE AWFUL THINGS TO IT?!?

Like from that moment on I stopped being a person and instead became this weird plot device in their lives to help them be better people.

So true.

I now its is not normal, but frankly part of being a good friend is not looking at me like a kicked puppy you need to rescue because my life has been different from yours. Also I have met people who have had it much worse than I did. I would really prefer they keep their shock and dismay to themselves.

As a poor person with lot of rich friends I can say that the mere fact that you are rich doesn't particularly offend me but there are two things that my friends do that can seriously piss me off:

ENOUGH WITH THIS SONG.

My dog is a 90lb bi-sexual deviant rapist with a propensity for feces and face-humping. Apparently he's not "just playing" as I previously thought. Sleeping with one eye open

Ah, the Jezebel conundrum....a lot of stories complaining about how shameful it is to treat women stereotypically, intermixed with stories about women stereotypically complaining about ugly looking shoes without regard to how comfortable they are, or their potential purposes beyond "looking good."

You guys should watch The Fall (it is a British show) it features a women over 40 ( Gillian Anderson) and she is a feminist.

A show that I really expected to hate, but the cast and writing really are very good.

I adore this Liam as well, hurrah!

Good God Lemon!
