Is it a good idea to put ones dental work live for the patient to watch on the t.v.

I guess if someone really wants to watch that, then why not? Nobody’s privacy would be violated.

Doesn’t appeal to me. I’m not even interested when my high-tech dentist offers to show me on-screen where a cavity or a gum problem is—in living color, yet. I prefer he just do whatever has to do to get me the hell outta there as fast as possible.

This, from a man who’s going through a lot of dental work right now.

I’ve had a lot of fillings and a few root canals and crowns. It’s all magic to me, and having working teeth is tied with having eyeglasses as a miracle and blessing for me.

But I would not want to watch the dentistry live. I close my eyes and relax as well as I can.

I don’t want to be worrying if any particular step looks wrong (as if I would know).

NO! I am glad like @jaytkay said that dental science is something we are lucky enough to have in our lifetimes and I too have had lots of work done. But it has always been a fear of mine, seeing it up close while it’s happening would be an absolute nightmare for me.

Ugh, I don’t want to watch that!!

I am glad for all visual information—but not while I am unable even to grit my teeth and bear it. Before . . . or after, I’m all eyes.
