Haven't been to the dentist in about five years, and when the wife and kid needed to go I got an appointment as well (so I found out when we arrived).

[cringe]

My dental experience has been in the uniformed service to my nation, which is quite different than civilian dentists if my experience today holds true.

1) Dental hygienist was professional, quick, had pretty eyes, and didn't berate me every second of the cleaning about some point of oral hygiene and how I was neglecting it. In the Army it was an experience of being laid out on a chair and heckled for half an hour while the person doing it had a sharp pointy things in one's mouth and so above response.

2) No cavities, my 30+ year old fillings okay, and no point in talking about some staining due to smoking so the dentist didn't bother. No dumb lectures about flossing or quitting smoking - I'm 48 years old and he knew better than think he'd change my habits.

3) No crying, so I got a sticker. I never got a sticker when leaving the dentist office in the Army, just smart assed comments about how I only showed up to keep up the requirement as dictated by regulation....even if I didn't cry or swear at them.

YOU got a sticker!

I didn't get a sticker.......I 'never' got a sticker.
I hate the dentist.

My dentist gives me a new toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

My mom would buy me a chocolate bar if I behaved when visiting the doctor/dentist/psico-something. After the years going to the doctor became one of the best things that could happen... the memories. I never found his eyes pretty, though. biggrin


When you're feeling sad, just remember that somewhere in the world, there's someone pushing a door that says "pull".

My wife's Father was a Marine in WWII and he told us about his dental visits in the service. Basically, the drill was powered by the patient using a foot pump of some kind while they are being drilled on. He said they would yell at you when they inflicted some pain with the drill and your reflex action is to stop pumping and stop the pain.
