Who here still FEARS the dentist? Anyone freak out when they get their "tools" out?

I never liked Dentists. You must admit, they are on the verge of being evil

Think of it....what occupation can you possibly think of that


inspired fear in people, that people loathe to see? Who can feel


comfortable sitting in the chair, looking at all that strange machinery will drills attached to it?

What teen-ager who got fitted with braces didn't look in horror


at the reems of metal and clamps as the orthodontist prepped


your mouth to be wired shut?

What pain and consternation, not to mention utter helplessness,


can approach root canal surgery, as tubes and drills anter the mouth simultaneously?

The helpless, forlorn look of the poor young woman strapped


for root canal below says it all!

Naw, that's for sissies.
Reply:I saw the needle the dentist uses for novacane once. It was almost 2 feet long! He tried to hide it behind his back and sneak up on me. I totally freaked. Now I have a new dentist who is not so sneaky but still kind of spooky
Reply:they are evil I will always be afraid of them.
Reply:you're absolutely right! It's abig trouble to be on the chair of the dentist under the mercy of his drills and injections, however I disagree with you that dentists are evil, they present to us the remedy for our toothache, if there is no dentist who would then relieve our oral pains.I thank God there ARE DENTISTS..
Reply:I don't ever have problems with my teeth, but I go twice per year to have my teeth clean.





Would actually go every month if I could, as I find the experience very relaxing to lay back in the chair and have an intelligent female cleaning my teeth.





My female dentist always has excellent music of your choice to listen with headsets on while she cleans or works on your teeth.





If you have fears of a dentist, perhaps you should take your MP3 or any other electronics that plays music and listen to the music while she/he is working on your mouth. Plus you can purchase one of those sleeping mask to put over your eyes so you don't see the instruments. (This I am sure will help you to relax without fear).
