Sometime in 2008, one Lagos bus conductor gave me a blow that nearly removed my 2 teeth, if not for God

I boarded a Danfo to the WAEC office Ogba to collect my original WAEC Certificate, seeing that I needed it for clearance in the University that I had just gotten admission into..

The conductor of the bus I entered kept saying "Ogba Aguda 2 chance “.. And stupid me refused to mind my business

In my infinite wisdom abi na stupidity, I tried to correct him, that 2 or more is plural, thus it's "2 chances" not "2 chance"..

Next thing I heard was "Olosi, Ko ni da fun Iyalaya e" followed by one blow "gbawwww" on my mouth.... I had to have my teeth rearranged and braced afterward because that blow really shook my dentition


That blow instilled in me more home training than my parents did in 10 years

I have brittle teeth. And I've removed 4.
So, the 3rd time I was to get my tooth removed. The dentist who was supposed to pull it out gave me injections to numb the site. Very painful stuff. But I don't know if they expired or something, because they didn't numb the pain well before he started.
He started like play like play.
Pull pull,
The pain was mad. I was in agony.
I was shrieking so hard and for so long that one of the women waiting her turn outside had to come and check what's going on.
It was 45 minutes of torture.
Yes, I know how long it took.
Somehow somehow the pain hit a crescendo
My hand connected with the dentist's dick
Egbamiiii

You are right. Nigeria is a jungle where people do what they like. Some of these quacks who parade themselves as Dentists and do procedures that they are not trained to do work in a government hospital or retired from a government hospital. Some even steal some dental equipment and instrument from the government hospital to set up their own mushroom clinic. Others will set up a clinic after they have looked for government job without success (That's why some people erronously believe Dentists look for Job. Dentists don't look for job. It's Jobs that look for them.).

Sometimes, even Dentists enable these people. Some of them call Dentists to come to their clinic to treat patients based on a commission.

Nigeria and Nigerians are something else.

Is there any profession without quackery in Nigeria? Haven't u seen auxiliary nurses running clinic in Lagos? And they call them doctors.So blunt that brain that misdirected u to think dentistry is the only profession u knw that harbours quackery.

As a dental surgeon ,u are a banger in terms making cool money.

I was injected and asked to wait for some minutes. While waiting, I realised everything in my mouth was swelling
While removing, tears were dropping, the dentist asked if its painful, I said no, he then said why are now crying I couldn't explain because it wasn't painful truly

The first time I took out a tooth, it was seamless too, despite the fact that my sis and everyone had told me how painful it would be. I was quite worried, but it needed to be done. So, I went with my sis, did it, went back home, took the medications and started anticipating the pain. But I was fine. Hardly any pain. My gum healed completely in weeks and it seemed as if nothing was done, like I never had a teeth there in the first place.

A few years later, I went for another extraction. This time, I was more relaxed, because I had a good experience the first time. I went alone. But, my God! This time, it was hell. I almost died. The ineffable excruciating and lethal pain lasted for days. The pain was accompanied with fever. It seemed like the medications had no effect. Thankfully, the pain later subsided while the fever took a few more days. It's an experience that cannot be put in words.

The first extraction was done at a general hospital in Lagos. The second one was done at UNIBEN Teaching Hospital in Benin.

PS: Do you get shocks in your teeth when you are in a very noisy environment (in churches, clubs, parties, etc. where there are huge loud speakers)?

ekitimanalways:
If your teeth are particularly sensitive, the fluctuating pressure from sound waves can actually cause the water-filled tubes in your teeth to vibrate, especially at high-frequencies, and painfully irritate your pulp’s nerves.

Junnior:

Thank you. Your explanation makes PERFECT sense! Are you a dentist? What's the solution?

Whoknowsme:
Don't even pray for that.
I've removed about 3 teeth. Don't even want to start telling the experience i had about how student doctors use my teeth as an experiment. How they overdosed me with anaesthesia and how my blood was littered in their surgery room.
Na God go judge those doctors wey allow them use me as their experimental tool. Other teeth i removed were done by professionals so the pain was minimal.
