I dislike going to the dentist intensely, and in fact am one of those people who only go when they get a toothache. As a child we were taken to the dentist every 6 months, and no problems at all but we also had the school dentist who visited. They were the "joys" of living in the country and unfortunately this dentist had a bit of a problem in that he detested children. So we all suffered at his hands and as my surname was at the beginning of the alphabet, I copped it all with fillings, teeth pulled etc. So did my sisters who were at school at the time. That was it for me - no more school dentist and no visits to family dentist either. I might add I had only seen our own dentist 2 weeks before this visit at school, so parents were not pleased either.

I really dont like dentists. I always want to be put to sleep for a cavity. I need a lot of work done in the back of my mouth and I have tooth that is broken but in a weird way where if they take it out it will not be a simple extraction. I am afraid to get it done. The pills they give you afterwards are good though.

I like going to the dentist! I always get a goody bag-- and it's usually the only time I can get a new toothbrush! (Which is nice to have...) I mean, sure-- it's just the toothbrush, floss, mini-toothpaste, and mouthwash, but it's stuff I like having. Plus, they dentist would always tell me I was being a good girl, and that always made me happy. Of course, my friends always thought I was weird for thinking that, but oh well...
