I’ve never minded going to the dentist! I’ve never had any cavities, so every time I go, I fear I might have my first one. However, I never get one and I’m always happy with that. In fact, this afternoon when I was at the dentist, he said I had perfect teeth! And he wasn’t exaggerating or kidding or anything! But in reality, I know I should be brushing much more than I am and I’ve only flossed once in the past six months (that was right before I left). And yet my teeth are in perfect shape! How weird is that? So, do you mind going to the dentist? Or do you hate or love it? And have you ever had any cavities?

Been like 2 times in the last 24 years. If it was free I would go often. But its a fairly simple way to save money by not going.

I don't mind going to the dentist because I know they'll be very nice and gentle to me!

I turn into a ghost when I go. My next root canal will be performed while I'm sedated.

I don't mind going to the dentist. Also I really don't get why a lot of people hate going to the dentist so much.

The ortho was hell, but the regular dentist is alright. I love getting laughing gas.

they always tell me i brush enough although once they said I flossed too much.

I guess most people brush only when they feel like it so people who brush everyday have perfect teeth or something. or maybe they just say that to everyone to be nice.

I turned 18 in August, meaning I am free from the torment of the chair! It does kinda suck though, because I am really good friends with my dentist's nephew.

I never really liked it, the tools felt like an intrusion, the paste tasted awful, and the cardboard (for x-rays) really hurt. But, after a couple of decades without, I went to one, and my wisdom teeth all rotted. When they put the cleaning tool on them, the pain was exquisite.
