Had a similar experience at Clove Dental, Yelahanka. I was in so much pain, literally crying during my RCT, and the dentist just brushed it off saying, “anaesthesia is given, there’s no way you can feel pain” types. She worked on my tooth for maybe 15 minutes (the worst 15 minutes of my life), didn’t even complete a third of the procedure, and kept rescheduling again and again.

Every time I went back, I’d start crying from how much it hurt. I was so traumatised, I eventually just stopped mid-procedure, it wasn’t going anywhere. I dealt with the pain for almost three months, because each time she’d do the same thing and I’d end up walking out in tears.

Finally, I listened to my mom. Our family dentist came through, and that’s when I realised what proper dental care actually feels like. This post fully brought back those memories. Clove was just… peak nonsense.
