I can't be the only person who, while at the dentist's office and waiting for the hygenist to return, thought, "Hmm, maybe I can make a break for it." |

Christ.
I have not had my teeth cleaned in....I honestly cannot remember. At least 8 years.
:/
Your title had me in stitches.
Most definitely not. You've never seen me in the throes of my fullblown dentistphobia.
I never liked them much, but after the last visit - in which what was to be an ordinary tooth extraction ($40 extraction vs. $1400 root canal? yank it) turned into the cheap dentist breaking my tooth, running out of the office, and ten minutes later sending in his assistant to say "ummm ... you may need to go to a dental surgeon instead" - it's pretty much terror, sweating, gagging, shaking. From here on, I'll need to be knocked flat out cold before they can do much, dentally speaking.
You are, indeed, meant to live in the British Isles.
No, but I have tried to make it not obvious I was sneaking a peek down my hygienist's smock when she was cleaning my teeth. Given her smirk afterward, I wasn't being very successful in concealing my Patriarchal Male Gaze. | |
