I hate going to the Dentist. How about You?

Hi jen: Is that you in the picture, I mean the profile pix. I can't see the teeth, but the smile sure looks nice. So all that pulling, filling and straightening has worked for you. By the way, how DO YOU let the dentist know he's hurting you, when he has sort of imprisoned your mouth in a way that you can't speak or cry out even. Thanks for your response jen, enjoyed it.

Hi suesan35 Necessary evil! LOLz,, I like that title! You're right, looking to so many inside-mouth during their work.. It's not easy, but you're right! It is necessary for our teeth health, and for him too, to make money,,Hehehe.. Thanks for your funny comment!

Hi chrysanTflower. Guess dentist are a necessary evil and they do what they do cos its their job. I don't think its easy for them too, imagine looking into so many mouths daily, they must also get fed up of it. This discussion has put me in the correct perspective regarding dentists and now I must make a special effort to go the dentist taking into consideration everything that has been stated by myLotters. Thank for responding chrysanTflower and to all other myLotters too.

Hi wizzywig: The dentist bill also makes me wince. you're quite right there. I suppose your dentist had too many appointments and did a rush job on you. Hope you'll have better luck this time and go home with your teeth and your wallet safe in their respective places.

Thanks. We have been to this dentist before and he's very good - tho' I haven't needed any fillings from him yet (touch wood!)

at the start when I saw everyone commenting they did not mind going to the dentist, I felt bad thinking maybe I was the only one who didn't like visiting the dentist. Now I'm relieved that its quite normal and laurenrich, I too become a nervous wreck when its time to go. thanks for responding.

Do not go to the dentist and brush your teeth always. Lol. And mine.

Hi cherrc. sorry for the delay in responding.but thanks for same. At least you don't hate going to the dentist and you feel theres something to look forward to in having clean teeth. that's positive thinking cherrc, I think I too should have an incentive to go to the dentist.

Hi crystaltips: At least you take courage into your hands and go. that's something So he's snappy is he? Why dont you snap back when he's got his fingers in your mouth, accidentally, of course so that'll he get a return of his treatment from his victims. Hope you'll find a better dentist soon.

Thanks hon! Actually this has reminded me I need to phone for an appointment. I will remember what you have suggested!

Hello aprilten. You sound just like my teacher, but unfortunately even she could not get me to like the dentist although it was compulsory in school and we were dragged there whether we liked it or not. It was only after leaving school that teeth were neglected. Yes aprilten, I have heard about heart and other problems arising due to neglected dental care. Thanks for your advice and response.

hi sid556. I'm so late in thanking you for the response, I was not well and did not come to myLot for a couple of days. Maybe you had a really bad experience that even you cannot remember. As long as you get the job done without much pain I suppose you're ok. Happy mylotting sid.

thanks for responding lynnemg; most people seemed to have hated going to the dentist when they were kids, but got over it and they don't mind it so much now. Wonder why I haven't? Maybe having three, yes, three teeth extracted on the same day had something to do with it.

You really made me chuckle tantrums. Putting the dentist chair and the gas chamber and electric chair in the same category, I can just imagine how you feel about going to the dentist. Thanks for the funny response.

Hi junmae: At least the pain caused last time has made you look after your teeth better now. Some good has come out of it and you don't have to go to the dentist regularly. Sorry for the delay in replying jumae. but thanks for your response

Hey, you and me we both think alike. I too should visit my eye specialist, but have not done so for quite some time, because everytime I go she will prescribe a more costly eye drop and order more tests and I don't think anything has changed much for me during the last 5-6 years. Same with doctors, quite casually, they write "...take these tests and see me in 4 weeks, or 6 weeks or whatever. What I think is, if the doctor thinks I can survive for 4-6 weeks and don't have to take those tests immediatley, why should I bother going to him just because he says so, when there's nothing radically wrong with me.? They'll hmmmm and hrrrr and make you nervous unnecessarily whereas, if you dont visit them, you forget that you have any sickness at all. If I collapse of course, I'm sure someone take me and thats a different thing. Thanks for your interesting response Dranz

You love going to the Dentist as in "You love chocolates" or something like that? wow. amazing. But goes to show how much the attitude of the dentist himself can change your perception of getting your teeth worked on. I wonder why dentist are not normally friendly. Maybe it has something to do with all those instruments, scalpels, pointy, nasty looking tools and their masked faces which does not give them much room to interact with the victims, (sorry I mean patients) Thanks alexaeluna, so nice to have a different opinion.

ha ha, join the club rochelV, just like me. I go to the dentist only when the pain becomes unberable and to add to the pain, you get a scolding from him too and that's even worse than the pain. that's how I had three teeth extracted on the same day. Now I've had permanent replacement teeth fixed, so its alright cos those can't decay, but there are other teeth, and I still don't go to the dentist regularly.Have fun rochelV

Hi jheLaichie: Like you said they do good things for your teeth, and if you like it now, you should not miss your appointments cos' your health comes first. Me, I'm just scared and that's why I try not to go, silly me!
