I know, it’s not like anyone likes the dentist, but I have a deep dislike that’s been in me since I was a child. Growing up I had a dentist who always yelled at me. I’d pass out whenever I got a shot of novacaine, then he’d call me a baby and yell at me. I’d ask to see my mother, and he’d yell at me. What a jerk!
If I had a dentist like that today, I’d be horrified, but I guess we accepted things a little differently back in the day. It wasn’t until I was about 25 years old that I realized, hey, I’m an adult and can get a new dentist.
I went for awhile, then just plain avoided them. I didn’t have problems, so I wasn’t going…until one of my fillings came out.
Today, I had to go and get a filling replaced. No fun, yuck, and I have to go back one more next week to replace 2 more old fillings I had gotten as a young child. After 20+ years, I guess they can wear down.
The dentist was surprised how clean my teeth were, and the lack of placque after not seeing a dentist for so long. I swear by the Sonicare…and my doctor agreed…it’s kept my teeth in great condition!
