daamnn the orthodontist sure rubs off the hell out of my make up !!

[urbanD0LL]

LOL , its so funny and embarassing , more embarassing though .

The first time I went to get my braces , it would go all over his gloves and I even saw a lil' something on his smock , then my 2 other visits I didn't wear makeup but I did wear it yesterday and same thing happened , it wasn't as bad though (first time I was wearing studio fix foundation and yesterday I wore Sephora's tinted moisturizer ) . And the first time everything was all rubbed off/smudged and I wish I had a makeup remover cloth, yesterday I just went over it with some studio fix and I was good to go . I'm not wearing anything from now

 

[Little Addict]

haha ... last time I went my dentist forced me to take off my makeup ... lol

 

[kaliraksha]

Haha, I've never had an issue with that... maybe my dentist keeps his distance?

 

[nunu]

I went to weeks ago with a full face because i was meeting my friends straight away..i was pissed because i had water splashing everywhere on my face and my lipgloss rubbed off! To make matters wore i couldn't re-apply the lipglass because my lips were chapped due to his gloves rubbing against my lips...

Well to be fair, the state of your makeup is very near the bottom of the priority list in patient care. If you go to a dentists office, I can't imagine how you would think your makeup could go untouched, it's not exactly your first visit and you have no idea what to expect. I would guess it would be very near impossible considering your mouth is the procedural site . If you had a choice between quality care or keeping your makeup intact which are you going to choose? Apply your makeup after your appointment.

I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to explain how it looks from the care providers point of view. Your makeup is often incompatible with a lot of medical procedures, and thats just the bottom line. Why expect something unrealistic and then get pissed that we can't meet your unrealistic expectations?

(my line of work is a little more extreme, so take it as you will)

No one seemed to be pissed off about the situation. They were either laughing about it or saying that it kinda sucked that their makeup got ruined, but oh well. No one commented that the dentist's way of working should change to accommodate the preservation of their makeup...

That being said, my makeup if usually ok when i leave the Dentist. Sometimes i get this cleaning with salt (teeny peices get shot out of this gun thingie to clean my problem mouth

) and it gets EVERYWHERE!! Sometimes when i get a filling done, i cry when i get the needle (as it goes almost directly into some scar tissu i have in my mouth and is VERY painful) so i smudge my eye makeup. Lol, each time i cry, my poor dentist freaks out. "Oh! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! I don't mean to hurt you."

My dentist is awesome. I never thought i would ever say that sentence in my life.

I'm not snarking here, I'm bringing another perspective to the table, is that not allowed? Did we make a stop in China? Because I'm sensing I'm getting my hand slapped for expressing an opinion.

 

[urbanD0LL]

uuhhh okay anyways ... i don't really know what to say . but i didn't expect his palms to be all up in my face and nearly covering my eye , i mean i don't care , well it sucks but hey , he is doing his job , i just thought it was really funny because i'm sure he looks at himself like wtf does she have all that crap on her face for ?! or something along those lines ...

it really wasn't meant to be taken seriously or all technical and whatnot , just sayin' !!

my dentist is weird , he's nice but not very nice , he sure doesn't say sorry often when it hurts LOL and he has like no emotions , when he smiles i'm like

. he seems bored with his job., i mean he just has to tell me what to do and give me that salary of his and i'll gladly replace brackets and wires all day LOL .

It is so funny to have foundation on the dentist's gloves. Once, I wore full makeup when I visited my dentist after I removed my wisdom tooth through dental surgery. As I had pains at my jaw and cheek, he felt my cheeks and pressed lightly on my face. After that, he inserted his finger into my mouth to feel my gums and I thought could taste my foundation. Otherwise, the gloves normally smell/taste strongly of rubber.

I went for polishing and scaling of my teeth last month and water was splashing everywhere on my face too, even up to my eyes. I was shocked as I never experience so much splashing at the dentist. I thought splashing occurs at the hairdresser only when the washer is inexperienced. Maybe you can apply lipbalm before the procedure so that your lips will not dry out.

Dude. Chill.



When I go to the dentist it's usually the only place I have to go to, so I use very minimal makeup. Probably no more than just a dusting of MSFN, and definitely no lipgloss (but plenty of lip balm though, in case they get all cracked up when I have to open my mouth wide). I won't really change what I do in terms of eye makeup because that never gets affected anyway, plus my dentist likes to give me cool sunglasses so I don't get blinded by the lights

 

[TISH1124]

That is the one Drs office I wear very minimal makeup to ...my dentist has baby wipes for patients to clean off any lipstick before he even looks in their mouth...so I normally make a end of the day or 1st morning appt when i can go as bare as possible. I think my dentist goes elbow in...Like his feet are off the ground and shit......Not to mention I have a phobia of the dentist so those appts are always the hardest for me.

 

[User35]

Im getting invisalign and about 2 weeks ago I had to get molds and exrays of my teeth. Oh my lord...that mold gunk got alllllllllll over my lips and part of my cheeks , plus I was drooling all over myself while the goo set. It wasnt a pretty picture. Oh what I go thru for beauty.

I just thought i'd mention that your post seemed defensive, and so she was merely responding to that. It may very well be simply your style, and though you dont mean to be it was misinterpreted. Its not far fetched to assume you were. My bf is a medical practitioner, many of our friends misunderstand him because he can come across abrupt and curt...but its just how he sees things. Black or white. The science oriented mind, I think.

Please dont take this as an attack on your personality or your post. I just think you should see that looking at the dialogue objectively, she was not dismissing your opinion. I think she was reacting to the tone of your post.


sorry if this is tangential guys

 

[blindpassion]

This thread was supposed to be a funny series of memories about times when we're had a similar incident happen to us at the dentist.

Chill out. If people get so upset about a thread talking about the dentist, then you must be having heart attacks left and right in the real world.



Back on topic - I never wear makeup to the dentist because I totally for see this happening and then walking out with like big streaks of lipstick around my lips haha.

They cant even help it, they are usually guys with big hands and I don't have a large mouth... (lol).

Lightly powder your face and you are ready for the rest of the day. I had braces for years.

Thats what that is?!? Jeeze! My old dentist used to use them (if it's what im thinking of). I found them uncomfortable though. Plus is was a nut bag.

And no, i wasn;t slapping your hand, nor... going to china? I was merely stating that i thought you might be taking things the wrong way, or too personally. I understand you work in the field, but i think sometimes when people's professions get mentioned we can become a touch hyper sensitive. I wasn't trying to rag on you, and I'm sorry if it came off that way. State your opinion all you please. That's what the boards are for after all!

So funny that you mention they are guys with big hands that won't fit in our mouths. You know, they say it is better to have a male dentist because they have enough strength to pull our teeth out. I don't mean any offense to female dentists.
