Dentists: Masters of Torture

Yesterday I had the pleasure (sarcasm) of going to the dentist for my six month cleaning and check up. To be honest I have never liked going to the dentist. You would think that over the years that I would have got to where I am ok with going to the dentist, but no it has never happened. I dread the day that I have to take my son to the dentist office. He will look at me for conformation that things will be okay. I hope I can fool him.. I know things will be okay, but….

I mean they come at you with their masked faces and your tools of torture. They have their pick that feels as if they are going to tear your gums apart. The drills, I don’t know but you would think that they could come up with a drill that did not make such a terrifying noise. I sounds like they are getting some major horsepower out of those things. Then it comes down to them flossing your teeth. Wow! Is their floss made of tiny razors. i literally think that they are flossing to the roots of my teeth.

If I were trying to get information from a spy… forget water-boarding… I would get me a dentist and tell him to bring one of those drills and go straight for the teeth. I am sure that you would get any information that you needed. Jack Bauer shooting people in the knees and sticking pens into people. I would take that any day over taking a drill not an un-numbed tooth. It makes me cringe just thinking about it.

Going to dentist is just one of those things that I just hate to do. I know that it is good for me, and my dentist is the nicest guy, but it is awful.

So for now I wait and countdown the days until March 14, the day of my next torture session cleaning.

Is there anything that you just dread?
