I do not like going to the dentist. Yet to the dentist I went. My appointment was today and Ryan went yesterday. I had to get a filling redone from when I was much younger. I've actually had this same filling redone before. If I could go back and tell the 10 year old me to eat less candy to avoid going through this discomfort 3 times and spending my grown up money on it I would. I hate the awkwardness of the dentist. The scraping of your teeth. The smell of whatever it is dentists use. The way they inevitably ask you questions like, "So what is your life story?" while they are working in your mouth and couldn't possibly answer them. One day when Eva has to go to the dentist I don't know how I'll be able to make up a story that it is fun. Maybe I'll just promise her a reward if she agrees to be brave and not bite the dentist. After experiencing both, I can honestly say that I would rather go through childbirth again than get another filling. At least with childbirth you get a cute little baby. All the dentists gives is a free toothbrush.
Dislikes aside, I will say that our new dentist office is really great. That sounds ironic... I guess it's that I hate the procedure but the staff is awesome. When I went in today they were so friendly and talked to me all about my husband. Apparently he was quite the hit yesterday. They told me how funny he was (I know - that's why I married him). They told me the story of how we met on a mission trip and how much he liked me (yes, I was there and I remember it). They told me how happy he is to be a father and how he was looking forward to his daddy-daughter time with Eva while I had my appointment today. I'm not sure how Ryan had so much time to tell the dentist his life story, but I'm proud that he made such an impression. I'm proud that out of all their clients yesterday they knew and remembered so much about my family (they asked, "How is baby Eva today?") all because of Ryan's fun personality. Hearing about how great he was made me relax a little bit and it made my heart so happy. I'll probably even go back in 6 months for my next check-up.
I HAAAAAAATE going to the dentist, too. It's awful and I would 100% agree about going through childbirth again rather than go to the dentist. Even if I had to have another c-section.
ReplyDeleteRest assured, though, little kids like going to the dentist! At least mine do. I take them to a pediatric dentist and they get to pick something from the treasure box after their easy cleaning. Now once they actually have to have REAL work done in their mouths, they may not be so eager to go anymore.....
The perfect dental health professional should be dependable, truthful, friendly, caring as well as a person with whom you feel reasured. However, selecting the perfect dental health professional does not need to be that difficult, if you recognize what attributes you should really be seeking.It can be always recommended to use a dental health professional in your area that is very well known and upholds a wonderful support with their clients. Soon after choosing a dentist you find to be honest, it can be very good to look within specializations for your personal needs. Most dentists specialize in cosmetic, implant, periodontal, restorative or preventative dentistry.

I did my oral surgery from bay area dentist which is totally pain free surgery. After that surgery I love to go dentist.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's good to hear that you're looking forward to visiting the dentist again. That just shows that you're dentist has gained your trust. It is truly comforting when you talk to your dentist. It helps build trust and helps you relax during the procedure.
