My friend had a horrible time at Great Expressions Dental. She went in for a tooth extraction. The dentist didn't numb her properly and she felt the whole extraction process, which was extremely painful and traumatic for her.
At Great Expressions Dental, I once had a dentist who was very rough while doing a cleaning. It felt like my gums were being tortured rather than cared for.
One patient went to Great Expressions Dental and had a really bad experience during a root canal. The dentist seemed inexperienced and caused a lot of pain that was not properly managed.
I heard about a Boy Scout who got stung by a whole bunch of wasps while they were setting up camp. His face and hands swelled up really bad. It was so scary for the other scouts who didn't know what to do at first. But then they remembered their first - aid training and were able to help him.
My own true horror story happened when I was staying in an old, supposedly haunted house. Every night, I could hear the sound of footsteps on the stairs, even though I was alone. I also noticed that objects would move on their own. For example, a book I had left on the table would be on the floor the next morning. It was really creepy and I couldn't wait to move out.
One of the scariest ghost encounter stories I've heard was from a friend who stayed in an old, abandoned mansion for a dare. He said he saw a figure of a woman in a white dress just floating in the hallway at midnight. It was so real that he froze in fear and couldn't move until the figure disappeared. He was so terrified that he ran out of the mansion immediately and never went back.
One of my dental horror stories was when I went to get a wisdom tooth pulled. The dentist didn't numb me properly. I could feel every tug and pull as he tried to yank that tooth out. It was excruciating pain that I will never forget.
In some of the older parts of Prague, the cobblestone streets can be a nightmare when you're backpacking. They are uneven and slippery, especially when it rains. I saw a backpacker fall and hurt their ankle badly. They had to cut their trip short because of the injury and the difficulty in getting around on crutches.
Well, my dental story is not so pleasant. I had a really bad toothache once. It was so intense that I couldn't even focus on my work. I went to the dentist, and it turned out I had a huge cavity. The drilling process was awful, but after that, the pain disappeared, and I learned the importance of regular brushing.
I knew a person who had a cavity that grew into a huge problem. Since they had no dental insurance, they couldn't afford to go to the dentist right away. By the time they finally managed to save some money, the cavity had turned into an abscess. The pain was unbearable, and they had to get an emergency extraction which was very expensive and also a very difficult procedure because of the advanced state of the problem.
I heard about a case where a dental hygienist used a tool that wasn't properly sterilized. This put the patient at risk of getting an infection. It was a really scary situation for the patient who later found out about the sterilization issue.
One horror story could be when a dental associate used the wrong type of filling material. It led to the patient experiencing extreme pain and sensitivity in the tooth. The patient had to go through multiple corrective procedures.
