Dentists scare the hell out of me!

[rassedgesse]

Dentists don't work on your banana, Shiva.
If they try, you need to call the authorities.

[Svatudjw]

OK.

I officially find Starchild's reply more disturbing than a trip to the dentist.

[Turbo-ip]

Ok, Pekka. I'd say that your vote is Anti-Dentite, right?
You don't go into much detail, so it's hard to say for sure.

[Percocetti]

... as long as you're in control?

[massons]

I can't stand dentists.

[JulieSmithXIV]

As a member of a family with MANY dentists, I say shame on all of you vile, nasty anti-dentites!

[bpejjssoe]

LordShiva, really? Well good for you

Mmm.. I think it's important, that the dentists realize the phobias of few customers and are able to deal with it accordingly. Sometimes those phobias were created by other dentists who did something horribly wrong. After all we are dealing with pain issues here and other things so..

A good dentist to me is rational and explains what he is doing. Just doesn't whip out instruments of hell and all these other things that seems to come from the torture chambers. And then you stare at the bright light and hope nothing bad happens.

So they should take those customers seriously. And.. the ability to calm down those customers is important and if you just focus on some of the things you're doing and not pay any attention to the customer who is scared for their lives, I mean that's just another bad experience.

Ability to talk and sometimes use alternative methods that are just as good but are less scary to the maniac customer, that's always good. Or use sedatives if necessary

I'd like to be KOd. They do that, they put you to sleep and use anaesthesia (spelling?), but that's expensive.

I'm a sado-dentite.

[Edisesyethisp]

SlowwHand is more of a anti-bananite


if this is pain yes (been there, left)

... Same for me.
The only unpleasent thing is,
that one hour of the day gets lost for the visit to the dentist
(and, of course the waiting till it´s your turn, but as I normally try to get the appojntments for my dentist very early the day (normally around 7:30 am) so that I´m one of the first patients, I don´t have to wait very long (n ormally just around 10-20 minutes))

I love the dentist. There's something so....cleansing about each stab of pain being in the pursuit of perfection. Sounds like someone watched "The Dentist"

The perfect movie for people with a dentalphobia

As long as I am sufficiently anaesthetised I am fine...although the sensation of that really rough, grindy drill is enough to send shivers down my spine just thinking about it

I didn't feel a thing, but unfortunately my nose wasn't anaesthetised, so I could smell the strong smell of iron (from the blood) once he sliced into my gums

I never had a lot of pain at the dentist. Except in the wallet.

My dentist has some pretty famous clients...Shane McGowan, Nanny McPhee...
