Mag,

Sorry you had such a miserable experience.

Whack 'em with a discrimination complaint asap.

Well, Gordon, first the nitrous oxide thing wasn't working. It took them
15
minutes to get it going. We had hoped that the gas would get me through
the
cleaning with much less spasticity, but it didn't seem to help much,
plus the
hygienist guy was impatient, not to mention not a team player, and after
5
minutes of working on my mouth told the dentist;
"you need to do this, she needs to be totally anesthesed."  The dentist
didn't really want to deal with me so he referred me to some county
dental
board.  And in the meantime I have all kinds of mouth sores.
