they dont bother me either way
id sooner put up with a few mins of discomfort than days, weeks, months of tooth ache
People who sit there whinging about tooth ache who not go to the dentist just plain annoy me lol |

I actually dont mind going, even though I have just had root canal treatment completed on a molar.
The fact that both my old and replacememt dentist just happen to be female, southern irish and gorgeous dont play any part of it....... honest

"being a regular at the eye clinic and the poking and prodding and needles there....
the dentist pales into insignificance  "
Same here!
My dentist always ask me if I'm alright because I'm so chilled and relaxed. I'm even more chilled because I went to this one - my previous dentist of 20 odd years, selfishly decided to retire to China! Went to a local one and he charged me £100 for just saying - "hi, nice smile".
Went to the dentist my old one had referred me to, a little further away and after "nice smile", x-ray, cleaning and appointment for a filling that was £35 all in!! |

I hate dentists with a passion. Fillings always used to hurt like hell even with local anesthetic. The final straw came when I had "a couple" of extractions and reacted badly to the anesthetic. I came round poked my tounge round expecting 2 gaps where teeth had been only to find 5 missing and let rip cursing and swearing frightened the poor kids in the waiting room and that was the last time I set foot in a dentists, I was 13 at the time. |

"bad bad phobia of dentists. If i need to go i go to a sedation clinic and get knocked out"
Due to my phobia, I'm treated by my local dental hospital, should I require any treatment, the majority of the time it's under sedation  |

luckily registered with a NHS one after my own went private and wanted more money than i have every spent on the teeth.
have got a nice lady dentist who lays you back on the chair wraps her boobs around your head then starts work on the teeth.
very relaxing. |

Another dentist hater here too! I had a tooth chip just before Xmas and had it filled this morning, thankfully without the need for drilling! The cost was enough pain though, £46 and that`s NHS supposidly! My last dentist was a right cowboy  I needed an extraction and the roots were fused to the next one! I reckon if he`s x-rayed me properly, he would have seen that I should have gone to hospital and had it done under a general anasthetic. He gave me three shots of local and was buggering about for over half an hour, didn`t give me anything to stop the bleeding apart from giving me a handfull of tissues to bite on, which I had to do as I drove the 10 miles home while trying not to swallow too much of the blood still coming from my gum. It`s the first time in my life I`ve ever cried from pain! God knows what the people in the waiting room must have made of it, especially when I came out with a gob full of tissues! |
