That sounds awful. I'm sorry you had to go through that. My wife was almost a dentist, but during her training she'd come home every day, nearly in tears because she hated it so much. "I don't want to be an orifice dweller," she once confided in me.

Sounds like a pretty sucky career imo. I've heard it has the highest suicide rate of any profession. I have my theories on why that is but I think having to deal with mouths full of trench-rot is probably up there.
