I dislike going to the dentist intensely, and in fact am one of those people who only go when they get a toothache. As a child we were taken to the dentist every 6 months, and no problems at all but we also had the school dentist who visited. They were the "joys" of living in the country and unfortunately this dentist had a bit of a problem in that he detested children. So we all suffered at his hands and as my surname was at the beginning of the alphabet, I copped it all with fillings, teeth pulled etc. So did my sisters who were at school at the time.
That was it for me - no more school dentist and no visits to family dentist either. I might add I had only seen our own dentist 2 weeks before this visit at school, so parents were not pleased either.

More afraid of the Dental bill.... Then anything else. As long as they do not give me that anesethic shot.. I am just fine... and can't feel nothing but a tingle and vibration when they drill..

I really dont like dentists. I always want to be put to sleep for a cavity. I need a lot of work done in the back of my mouth and I have tooth that is broken but in a weird way where if they take it out it will not be a simple extraction. I am afraid to get it done. The pills they give you afterwards are good though.

I like going to the dentist! I always get a goody bag-- and it's usually the only time I can get a new toothbrush! (Which is nice to have...) I mean, sure-- it's just the toothbrush, floss, mini-toothpaste, and mouthwash, but it's stuff I like having. Plus, they dentist would always tell me I was being a good girl, and that always made me happy. Of course, my friends always thought I was weird for thinking that, but oh well...
