Dentist Day.. Are You Scared To Visit!!! - Page 2

i havent been to the dentist in 12 years i hate him he is a deranged psycho, i brush my teeth 3 times a day so they stay healthy,
he is the only person who can scare me

Gosh the word ''dentist'' for me is filled with nightmares...
I am simply petrified of dentists after I had to undergo a ''root canal treatment''...And I must tell u that its the worst thing to do ur teeth 😕

They have these 6-7 sittings and ur gums are injected...ur teeth is drilled...the gums are pricked with various sizes of needles till they touch ur neck..eeewwww...

and then they re shape ur teeth by drilling it with a machine as if they are drilling a mountain..then put soem weird jelly in ur mouth or gum to take the size of ur re shapoed teeth and what not..

Gosh i go crazy remembering that incident..then they also put so many kinds of gross medicines in ur mmouth and make u eat them too...aaaaahhhhh 😕 🤢

But then I guess the doctors too have a tough time to see that our gums are healthy..since then i brush my teeth twice... 😃

Well, my dentist was really cute, so i never minded going for a check up!! 😆 But he moved away now and his practise has been taken over by an old ugly weirdo.... he aint looking into my mouth even if HE pays ME!!

I am not scared of the dentist, as such, I have been blessed with good teeth that I take care of well, so no desperate visits to the dentist required...

Yaayyy...!! We have a good news for B'Di...😃😆 Bro inform her that the Million Dollar Tooth can be taken out now..😆

Really funny dental n mental incidents😆😆😆

Okie now my turn...when i was a kiddo i needed to have this 'root canal treatment' done and i used to go to the dentist very 'happily'...😆

Not scared at all or fusing that i dun want to be injected and all. Every time i used to go to this doc he used to say to my dad that Sir your dotty really has lot of patience and this child seems to be very brave...otherwise i get many elder patients making my life hell screaming n all...😆 At that time i used to be on cloud nine...😆 thinking i am the 'best' dental patient ever..!!😆

Now why i used to be all happy going to the dental doc only and only bcoz every time after the treatment i used to get to eat an ice cream...😆😆😆...and coz of it i was ready to bear all those machines and injection mentioned above by delo😆.

Namaste great post and will send in my entry and will return again with my opinionsb tc gudia

I have never really had any dentist phobia. I just hate when the clean the teeth though.. the sharp tools look scary.

But in particular didn't experience a particular scary episode.

I think people hate going to the doctors in the first place so doesn't matter if it is dentist… Doctor suggests some problem.. somehow the word itself arises the fear (to some people) and no one likes problems.

I'd like to thank all my dentists I have been to for formal checkups. I know it's disgusting to work with gross teeth, I just can't bear the sight of them and our poor dentists do the cleaning for some of the worst ones. So it's their courage!

First i thought, i don't have a particular experience to share. I'm not scared of going to the dentist and i don't enjoy it either. I just hate it when they give you an injection in the gum to make it numb for them to put a filling in the front teeth. My mouth feels so big, i don't like that.

Getting to my story - When i was really little (around 6 remember this as you read on 😆 ) My teeth used to kill (too many sweets 😳 ) so i had an appointment at some other place rather than my dentist and when i got i sat in the dentist chair and they put me to sleep.
When i woke up i was in a really small room resting on the bed and the nurse was there too and 4 of my teeth were missing! I felt lost and scared so i started to cry (remember the age lol) The nurse was taken by surprise and she was trying to calm me down. Then hurried to get my dad who was in the waiting room and i was ok.

When i got home i was boasting that i will get loadsa money because i have 4 teeth (yes i believed in the tooth fairy 😆 ) Guess what the 'tooth fairy' did give me money for it 😛 but it's really weird that i only got it 1 time and thats when i was boasting about it 😆 😆 😆

😳 😲 SACH!!!!!! OMGGG

I want to be a dentist in the future 😊 haha i too am scared of them though, just imagine i want to become my own enemy hmmm 😕 but dentistry is a fun course...and intresting. 😳

Happy Dentist DAY!! 😛
