Dentists: We love to hate them

The Whizzing Effect

As a child I possessed a sweet jaw, I know most people have a sweet tooth, but in my case I always remembered having a sweet jaw. Actually my frequent visits to the dentists kept confirming this from time to time. And like you really need to be destined for being treated with a good physician, so it is with a Dentist. Most of all I detest the whizzing sound of the drilling machine.

But to tell you the truth, it is also true that every dentist, thanks to all their expensive equipment and paraphernalia almost always is on the hunt for amassing loads of money from you! Perhaps it was no wonder that the look on my dad's face also added to the general aura of ire that was created.

But kids being kids and their fascination for some of the most colorful sweets and candies are always prone to temptation. In fact, I can safely say that most of us still nurture the child in us by giving in to almost nothing but temptation. Moreover, dentists have this scary and rather eerie disposition. They are so close to you and with their funny looking instruments, they somehow always seem to have this large 'know-it-all' grin that's quite remarkable.

I mean you might find it amongst many but not predictably all of them. I for one hate them! At most I'd brush religiously after every meal and chew on a gum for hours to clean my teeth rather than suffer the pain and anguish from a despicable lot and pay them through my nose!

They are all the same

Most dentists are all the same. They all have this hugely built palace-like misdemeanor they call their dispensary. It's always this well-lit room with soft music flowing through, already making you aware that your treatment is going to cost you a great deal! Add to that the misery of looking at the doctor in the

There was this huge talk of everything in the dentist's artillery following the laser route, wonder what happened to that! I guess their idea of making money especially this one would really run them into huge losses, or at least that is what they claim. But on an average, there are a number of people who are innately scared of dentists. Although they make no bones about it, it's a foregone conclusion!

But on the serious note, they sure do make us realize the importance of good hygiene in their own unique way. So as much as you and I might hate them with the bottom of our hearts, they are simply like those necessary evils that we all need to go with! Trust me on this one!
