Mateo el Feo Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I've got a problem. I still haven't gotten into the "floss every day" routine that dentists recommend. Every time I go, I get the question: "How often do you floss?" And now, I even have to explain my venial dental sins: things like drinking soft drinks and not avoiding sugar. Just curious if anyone else has to deal with the burden of dental guilt... In my mind, dental visits are about as close as a non-Catholic will get to the experience of confession. In fact, confession is a breeze in comparison. Heck, when is the last time a priest demanded scraping all your teeth with a sharp metal object as penance?

shelly_freak Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 My dentist is mean. Looks like a cavity, you've been drinking soft drinks haven't you? *angry face* Well we'll just have to do something about that *pulls out the drill* now close your eyes *evil nasty grin*. I have 2 cavities and am avoiding the dentist because he's so mean about the fact that I have a cavity. Dude, it's $300 in your pocket, stop yelling at me!

We really like our dentist, but I think he over-charges us... but at least he's nice about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fool4Christ Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I have never experienced dentist-phobia because 1) I brush 3 x day 2)I have a very nice Catholic dentist. The closest thing to the feeling of dread I get before confession is the feeling I get before doing oral reasons for livestock judging. But I don't suppose anyone could relate to me here?

Guest T-Bone Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Hands down, the dentist. They're mean, they're scary, they can hurt you, and they can go home and tell their family about "that guy who never flosses." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 When you leave the dentist, your teeth are nice and shiny clean... When you leave the confessional, your soul is nice and shiny clean... Hmmm... :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thicke Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 It all depends on if the dentist brings out the gas mask or not. That stuffs like truth serum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T-Bone Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 My dentist doesn't beleive in the topical before the injection. I'm suprised he even uses Novocaine. He's a masochist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
