The visits are never that bad. You can always get a local anesthetic or gas. The pain afterwards can be bad. Just brush and floss so you don't end up looking like a toothless degenerate.

We should have evolved platinum teeth. I cannot fathom how anyone could stand being a dentist. Nobody is happy to see them. Nobody enjoys going there. Teeth are boring.

I like going to the dentist, your mouth never feels as good as it does right after a cleaning from the dentist.
I visited the dentist for the first time in 3 years recently, they said everything looks excellent except that I need to loose the 3 wisdom teeth I have.
I'm saving some cash for that currently and I can only hope I get some good drugs out of the deal. Of course it is kind of disappointing to have painkillers and a need for them.

I have to take a hydrocodone before I go. It's not the pain that gets me. It's all those hands and instruments in my mouth. I always feel like I can't breath.
My dentist teases me because he'll walk in and I've already got my hands tensed, grabbing onto my pants. He'll say "I've not even started yet". I just can't help it.
I tried nitrous once. Thought it would be like doing whippets. Not even close. That mask was the worst. So now I stick to drugging myself up good first.

i don't understand why people hate the dentist so much. i haven't been in like 4 or 5 years, but that's because i don't have dental insurance. i like going to the dentist though. you come away with free toothbrushes and pastes and mouthwashes and shit. and your teeth feel oh so muthafuckin' clean afterwards!

True. True. I just hate when they get on your ass for not flossing or brushing enough. Likes its their fucking job to nag you.

TRB you're 21 right? If you haven't been in 4 yrs or so then you haven't been for an adult visit. (I swear I'm not trying to be a bitch about this) The rules change. The visits change. Especially once there's problems like wisdom teeth and such. I had gone to the same dentist my whole childhood. I was shocked how different the visits became after I hit 18.
It's like the ultimate insult, not only do you see someone who causes major pain but then he charges you out the ass to do it to you. And alot of them aren't even friendly about it.
But the alternative isn't very pretty.

that's probably it i suppose. i've never really had a bad visit. my last one was when i was 17, at that point my wisdom teeth were just starting to come in. now three are all the way in, the other is crooked with just a bit peeking out. i don't think i need them removed though. my teeth are all fine.
maybe i'll grow to hate the visits now that i'm an adult. i'll just keep brushing though. don't have the money to visit, so i don't think i will.

i dont mind the dentist.
at mine they have a screen that takes xrays as they go along and it's kinda interesting watching them do a root canal on it.
I don't like the shots, but honestly by that time my tooth hurts so bad I'd gladly ram that needle into my own gums just to get relief. I cracked four teeth on my tongue ring once. they had to extract two and root canal the other two. then last summer something happened with one of my wisdom teeth and i had an exposed root
that was pain so bad i would have gladly shoot up heroin in a crack den just to feel numb.

it never is fun when someone is poking your teeth since they are attached to your skeleton and the core of your being
but really, it is never as bad as you think in advance!

My dentist is quite cool. She always makes sure I get enough painkiller. She even has given me so much at time when I wanted to flush my mouth with water after the work my lips weren't enough to hold the water in. It just slowly flowed out from between them. Thanking her for her job felt funny.  I feel my teeth are safe when I visit her.

Haha you guys are hilarious. It's not really that bad. Slightly uncomfortable for half an hour maybe. If it really is horrible, you need a new dentist.
Having said that, I'm currently scared to go because I think he might tell me I need my wisdom teeth out

I have a major dentist phobia... I didn't go for years, then had to endure 6 months of hell.
If you are uncomfortable, tell them up front you'd like some kind of tranq. They prescribed me .25mg Triazolam pills, and they were MAGIC!
Without it, I'd be tense and cranky and I'd cry... seriously, phobias SUCK. With the pill, I stroll in, stroll out and almost forget it ever happened.

I was taking the .25mg and it was working fine. One day, it must not have fully absorbed or whatever, and I was pretty nervous. The dentist told me to take 2 of them next time, as .5mg was still a safe dose.
Well, I'm a pretty big dude with decent drug tolerance, but I can honestly say .5mg of Triazolam will FUCK YOU UP.

every one should go at least once a year. I stopped going for a loooong time (10+ years) and when i finally got into see a dentist again found out i had peridontal disease. It's not a fun feeling when your dentist says you're the youngest person she's seen with the disease in her career.
Not the case with everyone i know, i also happen to be cursed with a family history of dental problems. Also the main cause of my problem is that i can't sleep with my mouth closed no matter how much i try so my mouth dries out over night which is really really bad for your teeth.
So now i go to the dentist two or three times a year to get deep cleanings and work done, last year i had 4 or 5 teeth filled in and i have a bunch more to go. It really sucks to get all the work done but it's better then losing my teeth. I'm also forced to carry around a small bottle of listerine and a travel brush and paste set so i can brush my teeth during the day at the university. It sucks to brush your teeth in the bathroom, but then again, ill take being embarrassed over losing my teeth anyday

It went well, despite my horrible hangover. I almost did puke all over the dentist. They took a billion X-Rays and that plastic thing hurts. My wisdom teeth are gonna come out, and I have on tooth to be worked on. He said my teeth look pretty good for someone who hasn't been to the dentist in so long. They had to reschedule my cleaning because the x-rays took forever. I still felt like shit on the way home so I called out of work and just ordered a pizza .
