Are you afraid of dentists?

lawl that sounds fun! ^_^

Every dentist I've been to have been like that. Dunno if they just dont realize how hard it is to talk when they do stuff in your mouth, or that they just talk to be polite.

I'm not afraid of dentists in general, but of one in particular.

She was in charge of pulling out 4 of my premolars, and when she came with the syringe to anesthesiate ( spelling?) the area, she proposed to my little brother (8 or 9 at that time), who was beside me watching, to do the anesthesia himself.

I was laughing first, until I noticed she was serious. And he did the anesthesia...I couldn't move of course, nor say anything. I was just scared to death.

Nothing happened to me though, and the dentist was pretty cool, she would give me Dream Theater's cds > <

Not as afraid of the dentist themselves as what they do to my teeth. Especially hated it when they had to grind down my teeth so they could put on my braces properly. Still gives me chills just thinking about it...

No im not scared of Dentists but they have to earn my respect.

We've got a wonderfull system in the UK called the NHS (National Health Service) and it turns out for years this guy who me and my family trusted to do a good job was giving us the ol' "Everythings fine... Come back in 6 months" treatment, Great I thought that everything was ey-ok!

WRONG!!!

And now im with a new Dentist and im actually getting proper service. (Anyway what a cunt)

I have had a painfull experience with a Dentist too the anaesthetic wore off cause I waited too long but at the end of the day No pain... No gain! (No sense in being afraid of them)

One thing that annoys me about going to the Dentists is that the rooms always like a frigging ice box, When im cold I shivver and it annoys the hell out of me when someone thinks im scared when im not.

My father hates the Dentist because he had a problem once, My sister finds it unpleasant and my Mother is scared because... I dont honestly know.

I never had any bad experiences from one, but I'm no fan of the pain from annual cleaning,etc.

Since the topic was made, may as well add in some fun from a classic :D

I'm not really afraid of dentists, just all those sharp tools they use. The drills, the needles, those oddly shaped hooks, plus that cold and sterile atmosphere just makes me hate going for checkups.

Nope not afraid of dentists at all.

My friend's father is a dentist. Grew up more or less with him. Spent quite a bit of time at his place. Friend's dad is also my dentist.

Funny whenever he says something doesn't hurt (even with drills) it seems to be true. I guess pain to some extent depends on the skill of the dentist.

Yes i am since the first dentist i came to was wasnt that good & caused me alot of pain & i was afraid of the big silver injection.

no,not even a bit......

Got used to it because I visit them countless times when I was a kid......

Although,I stop visiting them when I got into secondary school......

Afraid of dentist? Absolutely not. I wouldn't have any tooth left if I were scared of them,..

I wouldn't say I'm afraid, but unfortunately I never did have good dental insurance as a child so I haven't been to a dentist since I was seven and I already have poor teeth do to my mother's side of my family. Suffice it to say I'm not proud of my smile.

Just a little. The idea of someone drilling inside your mouth is quite scary. That is why I tried my best to take care of my teeth.

I hate everyone of them. I still have 4 wisdom teeth growing. They're forcing me to pull em out.

They scare the shit out of me.

They dont scare me because I dont see them very often to begin with. Take care of your teeth and you dont need to see one.

A little bit. My dentist is pretty hot but I hear the Psycho soundtrack when that drill starts spinning.
