I don't like the dentist!

Just sat at the dentist waiting to be butchered.  Don't like it.  Smells funny.

At least I'm next to the obligatory fish tank so I keep my zen calm.

Don't worry mate, it'll be fine...

Just think that you are helping to keep the local PRS dealer in business!

I hate the dentist. I think I got away lightly though. All through my youth, I had a few sweets / many fillings type experience. Then I didn't go for 20 years and only needed 2 teeth out as a result, both pre-molars and not visible when I laugh.

Were you very nervous ??

it helps if you distract yourself by thinking of Scarlett Johannson, take her on an imaginary date, go fishing in overalls, whatever floats your boat. Just don't go too far or your dentist will get very confused.

Wisdom tooth removed! Ouch, already hurts like hell now the anaesthetic is wearing off.

Good riddance. Female odontology students are usually gorgeous. Weren't there any sultry assistants having a gander at your teeth? No indeedy. That would've soothed you down. In all seriousness though, going to dentists is not precisely a heavenly experience.

I always find watching 'Little Shop of Horrors' or 'Marathon Man' the night before helps.

I had two root canals in Switzerland.
They give you the good drugs.

I have the start of an abscess on a premolar at the moment, really should get it taken out but can't be arsed. 

Dental drugs don't work on gingers anyway.  Best thing to do is wait until the abscess gets unbearable, that way when they rip the tooth out, you don't need painkillers because you are just so relieved to get shot of the thing. 

Things like impacted wisdom teeth are the most painful as I understand it because they are basically still healthy at the root.  Mine have long since rotten and been extracted.  I mostly go to get dead, decayed teeth taken out from time to time, it doesn't really hurt much at all.

I love dentists.  Teeth are a pain in the arse, especially white ones like mine that chip, crack or fall to pieces, even though they don't even have any cavities, because they are so bloody soft.

Ideally you want yellow teeth with big gaps in between them and you'll never have any problems. 

I should have drunk more milk as a kid but I'm lactose intolerant.  I blame that on the fact my teeth are so shit, also the fact they are massive with no gaps.  Everyone always comments on how well set my teeth are, because I'm not inbred are and how white they are, but in reality I'd give anything for a brace, yellow teeth and some bleach.

Should get in touch with the dentist again, after them cancelling my last appointment over a year ago, they've probably struck me off the register again.

Dentist?

I'd be surprised if anyone actually liked the dentist.
I think I'd rather see the proctologist than the dentist.

This pretty much sums up my childhood experience of dentists

I like the dentist, she's a cute and tidy Romanian with a tooth missing.  I just loath having to park up and take off half my day just to see her.

I bit one of mine because she wouldn't believe i could feel everything she was doing and it hurt like fuck. And that was only a filling.

My last trip was a nightmare. Tooth removal. Mine never want to come out. After an hour of pulling, jabbing, breaking it into bits, slashing my gums open with a scalpel, drilling into my jawbone, etc. he finally announce that he couldn't get it all out, and that it didn't cause problems later all that often really. Many stitches and pain for 2 weeks.

 That doesn't bode well for her own dental hygiene.

It's like when you have a really fat Dietician.
