Do you hate the dentist?

[VinMan]

Just got back from the dentist. I hate the dentist....
I can give blood. Have no problem with needles. But that stupid drill sound is like actual torture.

Dentists are my nemesis.

[cjefferys]

I'm not a fan either. My problem is that I have a bad, easily triggered gag reflex, so if they are working too far back in my mouth, it won't be good for me. I really wish I didn't have to worry about that, but apparently there isn't much they can do about it.

[johnnystorm]

Oddly, I do not hate my dentist, he's a pretty nice guy. I feel strangely relaxed when I go there, and have actually fallen asleep in the chair (without assistance from anesthetic).
Now giving blood or getting a blood sample taken, quite the opposite. The anticipation of the needle freaks me out.

[Mikey]

I hate that they charge $295.00 to pull a tooth.

IMO that's robbery

[Sideshow Spock]

I hate struggling for small-talk topics with the hygienist.

[megoat]

I loathe the dentist. I'm not even talking drilling or stuff like that. I mean, just sitting in the chair and getting a cleaning drives my nuts. I'm always uncomfortable. Always. It's torture. And they guilt you non stop. You're never flossing enough and you really need to get the fancy electronic toothbrush blah blah blah.

I'd rather have a colonoscopy than a simple dentist visit. I'm not kidding....

[Zemo]

I go twice a year and I'm in and out, except for the every three tear deep cleaning. Good looking hygienists too.

If you take care of your teeth, the dentist visit is not harrowing at all.

Like Jamie, I go often for routine cleaning, I'm OCD about it, and I actually go every four months for teeth cleaning.

Deep cleaning is more complex, I had to do that after my year long hospital/nursing facility stay, my teeth were neglected, that's why deep cleaning was needed.

I've only gotten three cavities in my entire life, and that was when I was 13 years old, none since.

[Rallygirl]

I haven't been to the dentist in a few years now. With my vascular issues, I cannot lie back in their chair. I have to sit up straight and it is hell for both me and the staff. But, the good Lord knew this about me, so He blessed me with perfect teeth. I have never had braces, a tooth pulled, or so much as a cavity.

[bettyrocker01]

I am petrified of a dentist. I cry from the minute I sit in the chair until I leave. Oddly, visiting a gynecologist seems less invasive then a visit to the dentist.

Yes ...

[LonnieFisher]

I love to go to the dentist! I like having my teeth cleaned.

[z3zep]

I hate the sound of the drill and even that electric tooth bush they clean your teeth with. I also hate when they are asking you questions and you have all that junk in your mouth. I can't talk ok?

Yeah, hate going.

[J.B.]

I can't stand dentists. I hate them. Do you hate them?





No...but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

[Hector]

So some of you really hate dentists?

You want them all to disappear from the face of the Earth?

Next time you have horrible pain in your teeth, and all dentists are gone, are you gonna still hate them?
