Dentists aren't scary...are they?

At one point in most of our lives we are scared of going to the dentist. Well, maybe not. I don't think I was ever scared of the dentist, I just didn't want to go. This post is about a horrifying experience my best friend/sister, Sas, had when going to the dentist.

Sas had to get her wisdom teeth removed. Side note - Why the hell do they call them wisdom teeth? I mean when you get them it hurts like hell and usually f's up the alignment of your teeth! Where does wisdom come into play? They should be called demon teeth, or painful teeth! Something that fits them better. - Stupid side not I know. So anyways she had to get them removed.

The dentist hooked her up to a heart monitor, since she was going to be put under and have two monster teeth ripped/cut from her mouth. The monitor beeped reassuring her all will be well knowing her heart was beating strongly. Then they began to put her under. As she was slipping off into a blissful drug induced sleep the monitor flat-lined. The thing on her finger that was attached to the machine fell off, although as she was passing out she did not know that. Finally right before unconsciousness took her the dentist says, "You're dead." As if saying Oh well, what can you do? Even in her drug induced state she became worried. Was she really dead? What was going on?

As she awoke it happened a second time and again the dentist told her she died. As soon as she was able to she took off like a bat out of hell. She was officially traumatized. Dentists are scary.

Life lesson? Don't get a dentist that jokes about death. Hahaha!
