Dentists: How comfortable do they make you?

At the office I went to in FL they had TV’s hanging from the ceiling.

@JLeslie Was that awkward? Having a tv, but also having a stranger leaning over in front of it every once in a while with a giant spit sucker? xD

@digitalimpression No, I didn’t find it awkward. Plus you could turn it off if you wanted to.

I hate them with a passion.

I love the dentist. I have very pretty and well maintained teeth. I enjoy the compliments.

I love my dentist too. I have been going to the same practice for almost 20 years. My whole family went to him. My dad had a very bad fall and broke his dentures and when I picked them up after they were repaired my dentist offered to come by the house and make sure the repaired dentures fit, in case my dad didn’t want to come in. And I love my dental hygienist so much that they have to make my appointments for the last one of the day, because we talk so much that it if they don’t schedule my appointment for that last one of the day, it messes up the entire schedule.

One thing I do not like very much at my dentist office… they [they are a couple] keep asking me questions. Let me explain. They are family friends. And when I go they always ask how the family and what is everyone doing. It’s rather hard to talk why they perform oral surgery ^^^

I enjoy trips to the dentist office, my dentist is a cool guy, they have DirectTV to watch while I’m waiting for him to arrive and his assistants are always attractive young women.

I have a great dentist, or had since he has had the audacity to retire, and he has a sort of Where’s Wally thing but it is a Disney scene. Perhaps the new guy will have a massaging chair? I don’t think I will hold my breath.

I have no interest in being comfortable at the dentist. I go out of a sense of self loathing.
My dentist has an iPod, sunglasses, and a very comfortable chair. He uses happy gas, but I don’t anymore.

Mine sits me on a leather recliner & offers me coffee, canopes & an oppurtunity to leaf through some classic literature. I’d say that was pretty damn comfortable, unless of course I just made that up ;¬}

TV, great music in waiting room and big sign saying WE CATER TO COWARDS.

I used to hate going to the dentist, but I’ve found a guy that won my mouth and my heart. He’s a real craftsman, takes great pride in his work, and he picked up on my interest in exactly what he was doing there in my mouth (I just love observing how really skilled people do their work). So now when I go there, he hands me a mirror so I can watch and gives me a detailed and enthusiastic running commentary on everything he’s doing, the materials and tools he’s using, etc.

For me at least, involving me in the process goes a long way toward keeping me from focusing on the discomfort.

I like my dentist and his office. Going in for a cleaning and checkup next month

He is our local rural dentists office on the main drag of my tiny tourist community.

He has bowls of fresh tomatoes on the counter for us to take from his garden. :-D

Nice wall murals of our river and peaceful music.

My hygenist is very gentle, but through and I have no complaints.

I have a pretty high pain tolerance and am not afraid of the dentist.

I do think that dentists should offer pedicures while you are in the chair. lol

My dentist’s office is filled with Thomas Kincaid paintings and Precious Moments figurines line the shelves. There is a fake plant in the corner. Most of the magazines in the waiting room are things like Women’s Day and Consumer Reports, but I was once lucky enough to find a copy of Guns and Ammo to calm my nerves while I waited to be subjected to the medical paternalism of the dentist I have grown accustomed to.

The hygenists are fat soccer moms who ask me about football all the time even though I could give a fuck less. My dentist himself is an alright guy, I guess. He’s nice. Kind of quiet and understated. He sends me chain emails about Hillary Clinton and Glenn Beck and shit sometimes. Whatever.

I’m really glad my super attractive friend who is about to finish dental school has offered to be my new dentist. Things may start looking up for me, dentally!

Oh, and I’m terrified of the dentist, but I always have a perfect report. Go figure.
