Dentist..again and again..

Can I claim a Blue Peter Badge for going to the dentist twice in one day??

 

Only if you have a masochistic streak!:hehe:

 

I've just come back from the dentist too, Robert! Why did a party of foreigners have to pick on me to ask the way when I'd just had an injection? God know where they'll end up. I could hardly speak.

 

I think you can get a medal for going to the dentist twice on the same day.
I couldn't do it. I'm one of those people who has to psych myself up for it and I have to go first thing in the morning as I would be ill for the day just thinking about - and that's just for a check - up :cry:

 

Back save and sound if not a little lighter in the wallert !

 

Alice, I am exactly the same!!! When I was younger I once fainted in the waiting room from nerves!!! It's the injection which I have a phobia about!!:euw:

That's the frustrating bit - paying for the privilege of potential pain and fear. No wonder dentists suffer from depression, when no one wants to go and see them!

 

Going to the dentist has never been an issue with me thankfully .
Had to smile the other day ,I have Dentist 2.30 marked on the calendar ,think about it ..... tooth hurty lol .

 

I accidentally bit my dentist today!!! Poor guy - it's worse than being a vet. :hehe:

 

I was at the Dentist a couple of days ago, had a general check up and dental cleaning . my teeth and gums really did feel clean after treatment . i also lost a bit of weight :wink:. IN MY WALLET :wink:.
music .

 

Do they?? :(

I'm founder member and life president of 'Cowards Anonymous' when it comes to the dentist. Why? I have absolutely no idea, it's like fear of spiders, totally irrational and yet I can't help it. When I changed dentists some years ago, I was brave enough to tell the new one just how much of a coward I really am. Whether it was true, (or just to make me feel better about myself) I don't know, but she said that one bad experience even many years previously as a child, had the same effect on many people - and fillings without anaesthetic were a bad experience in my book.

I know dentistry has come a long way since I was a child, that now you get an injection as a matter of course and I've had two lots of root canal treatment that even for devout coward such as me, weren't even uncomfortable, so by rights I should be over my fears, but I 'aint. What really hurts is getting an appointment - when I want to see my dentist she's usually scuba diving in the Seychelles .... so nice to know where my money goes!

 

I usually opt for fillings without anaesthetics. Unless it's a particularly bad one...

My gripe with dentists is there is no way you can tell if you are being ripped off or not. At least with a doctor, you can usually see/tell what the problem is. Teeth, you're stuck with the dentist and depending on him/her not telling porky pies to extract more money from you. That and finding a decent NHS dentist.

 

Revenge.....I love it..:lollol:
