the things you hate?

People who come in late or completely no show for their scheduled dental appointments.

People who complain about dental treatment.

People who tell me they brush and floss twice per day, when it is obvious they do not since their mouth is filled with plaque, calculus (tartar) and cavities.

The above people who do not have good oral hygiene who then are surprised or upset at me for them having cavities or needing further dental work done.

Patients whom are non compliant with the recommended treatment.

Going to the dentist is like a torture of some sort. You have to pay for the pain the so-xalled dental expert will cause you. So when I learned, by browsing this site http://www.upkb.com/crestwhitestrips.php , that Crest White Strips sample has hydrogen peroxide in it, I decided to give this new option a try. At least now, I don't even have to go see a dentist for cleaner, whiter teeth.

1. Having root canal work done without anesthetics. By far the biggest pain I have been in in my entire life.
2. Shots.
3. Having to speak once anesthesia kicks in...yew dsound lak diz, and you can drool on yourself and the dentist. Mortifying.
4. The sound of the Drill and the smell it emits.
5. Having to see the reflection of everything the dentist is doing on his or her protective goggles, worst of all if there is blood involved.

That's it! Hope it was informative.

Having tartar removed
wisdom teeth being pulled
cavities being filled
the sound of the drill
sound of the other cleaning devices

I'm a scaredy cat, but I found a wonderful dentist who NEVER makes me wait, he always tells me what's going on, he doesn't use scare tactics to get me to do extra work that isn't necessary, and his staff is amazing. I'm very lucky.

1- SHOTS
2- Drilling in my teeth
3- The stupid water "gun" that shoots ALL OVER my face!
4- The stupid vacuum thingy that ALWAYS gets stuck on my tongue!
5- The icky taste that is left in my mouth when I leave!

By the way, I have a dentist apt. today and I really would rather not go, but I HAVE to! My crown fell off! Dammit!

Having my tongue stuck with the needle to numb me up, and having it stay numb for about the next 6 months!
Being in the middle of my procedure and the dentist saying we have to reschedule it's lunch time>and not getting back in to finish the job for another month!
Keeping my mouth open for a solid hour!
Paying the outrageous bill!
Having to find a new (trustworthy) dentist

the pink stuff you spit out when your mouth is numb - just dribbles down your chin

sweating in the chair- you get up and your clothes are ticking to you

answering their questions while having a mouth full of equipment - makes you sound like an idiot

asking how much something is when you come to pay - yep your mouth is still numb

Having to sit and wait when there is not one other customer in the building!

1. hearing people talk about how they hate the dentist
2. hearing people say that they have soft teeth...total BS
3. people who don't pay their bill
4. people who skip appointments
5. smokers...pee-yew!
