Going To The Dentist

[a3a2]

I spent over an hour in the dentist chair today, white knuckled and praying to be done. And I am not even particularily dentist phobic. I remembered, while I was there, that a city I lived in in the past boasts of a dental museum. Though I lived there many years, I never went.

Who, I wonder, wakes up one day, and says "I know honey, let's take the kids and go to the dental museum!" Or even better yet "Sweatheart, let's start collecting DENTAL memorabilia and open a museum!"

The only good thing about going to the dentist for me is that he's good lookin' and at one time I had a huge crush. Now we're just old friends.

But yeah... I don't think I'll plan on visiting that museum.. ever.

Dentists are IMHO - A necessary evil :devilish:

 

[Srain]

OMG HA!! A dentist museum, I do NOT think so! :eek:

I get very antsy with somebody all up in my face, literally, and digging around in my mouth. UGH! So good on you for managing an hour! :tup: It's space invasion of the most difficult kind.

 

[Death]

You know, I could remove that tooth for you...

 

[KP the nut]

Oh Death, put a sock in it.

I made Anthony a dentist appointment yesterday (evil grin) but if I didn't I would just have to put up with the whining & it would only get worse (rolleyes).

I made Anthony a dentist appointment yesterday.

At least it was an appointment with a dentist and not an appointment with Death :devilish:

 

[a3a2]

Sorry, Death, but the tooth fairy puts in a lot of overtime here at our house, so I think she deserves dibbs on the tooth. Anyway, there isn't a whole lot of "tooth" left.

 

[Death]

Ah... KP. I just noticed that I'm not following you. I think I'll fix that. I should keep a close eye on you.

Oh Death, put a sock in it.

Why so upset, KP? After all, you are the one who summoned me:

... A necessary evil :devilish:

Call my name, and I will come!

"Sweatheart, let's start collecting DENTAL memorabilia and open a museum!"

First of all, you are braver and more sensible than me about dentist appointments, so good for you! I am just unendingly grateful for diazepam and the fact that I can get it for my appointments.

Have to say, though, that I'm all in favour of people who feel anything positive about dentistry. My own dentist is the sort of person who would set up such a museum and it's because he's passionate about the subject, wants to know as much as possible, and wants to provide excellent care to patients. I'm so grateful for his existence! Anyone who has any other motive for visiting (or setting up) a dental museum... well, I'll pray for them.
