My dentist is a really neat guy, but for some fucking reason his queue to talk to me and ask me to explain my whole entire life story is when he has 6592658923 tools in my mouth. Motherfuckle.

I am not fond of it, but consider it a must do.

I’m not to fond of the dentist in general because I feel like they really dropped the ball with my teeth when I was younger. I still have two baby teeth (my top incisors) and the adult teeth are there, they just never came down in place. They could have done the work when I was a younger to fix it, but they never even discussed it with my mom.

The dentist I have now is great though and sent me to an orthodontist to talk about the baby teeth. One of these days I might go through all the work to get them fixed.

My teeth are super sensitive, as am I as a whole. That thing they “brush” the teeth with makes me very uncomfortable.

I do enjoy the visit.

And, as much as I do not like pain. I like dental pain.

My dentist is nice enough… it’s the hygienist and her scrapey hooks that scare the bejeebus outta me.

I like my dentist, but don’t like his line of work.

I like my dentist but I don’t like if I have to wait for him(most doctor/dentist/vet will come very late).

My dentist is a sweet gal but I hate it!!!! I need half a valium to get in a chair.

I like my dentist. He does his job right, he’s as pain free as it gets, and he has a great sense of humor.

reminds me of the commerical with the former Saint’s coach (Jim Mora) saying, “SAY WHAT?” PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!!!! The word playoff is a very bad word for Coach Mora as he was a very successful coach during the regular season, but never made the playoff. So, don’t mention playoffs to him or dentist to me!

My answer would be, “SAY WHAT!” DENTIST….......... Had a VERY bad dentist when i was a kid. Once filled a tooth without deadening it. Old goat…

My dentist is my grade school buddy who taught me my first barre chords on guitar! I drive 90 minutes to go see him and he gives me a great deal too!

I love the novocain shots that I get!

ucme's avatar

Well he does have minty fresh breath but, ahem macho voice, he really isn’t my type!

Berserker's avatar

@Vunessuh That’s what I was gonna say. Mine always does that too, asking me all this shit like as if we were having tea and crumpets, and then expecting me to answer. Fucking sadist.

cookieman's avatar

He’s a nice guy but has this rude habit of shoving his hands in my mouth.

partyparty's avatar

He is lovely to look at, I just don’t like his occupation!

I hate the dentist with a passion. I try to avoid going I have successfully ditched out on two appointments to get my wisdom teeth pulled. Only because I didn’t make the appointment. But he always tries to find something wrong with me just so he can use his drill.

OpryLeigh's avatar

I hate it. Even going for a checkup fills me with dread.

Aster's avatar

I choose dentists who I enjoy seeing. Whatever that entails. If I don’t enjoy them I don’t go back. I prefer comedians who look like
a Baldwin brother.

ZEPHYRA's avatar

NO, a big NO, my teeth literally start to rot or give me excruciating pain before I go!

DominicX's avatar

I’ve never understood the fear and loathing of the dentist. I’ve never been that way. I just had a dentist appointment last week and I was actually looking forward to it because it had been so long and I know my dentist very well (she and my mom are friends).

tedibear's avatar

I don’t like the noise of the drill; it sets me on edge. The plaque scraping hurts. I don’t like to get fillings because I’ve assisted before and I know how disgusting it looks in there. However, I really like my dentist and his wife (who is his assistant and office manager) and I’m extremely disappointed that they’re moving to Tennessee. The University is getting a great instructor!
