I’m sure your dentist would prefer it if you would just sit there and not complain, but if it hurts, by god, it HURTS, and nobody can know that except for you. You have a right to ask him to be more gentle.

I’m a woman, by the way, and I’ve had my concerns dismissed my doctors too. I’m sorry you’re locked into this guy financially.
