Or perhaps you have a dentist that tries too hard to be funny and ends doing creepy stuff like this
Whatever the case, most people can think of loads of stuff they'd rather be doing than going to the dentist. But me? I rather enjoy it. Sure, I've had my fair share of hygienist "slips" that results in cut gums, and no one likes to hear that they have to get a filling, but for the most part? It's just an excuse to lay back, rest my eyes, and relax. I've found that as long as I'm not watching what they are doing or what tools they are putting into my mouth that it's actually not so bad, plus my hygienist doesn't feel the need to have awkward conversation with me (not that I can even talk with those tools in my mouth!). Granted, I suppose part of the reason that a trip to the dentist doesn't fill me with dread is that my mom always made sure we did a good job taking care of our teeth, and I've taken that with me into adulthood, so I've never really had any "bad" experiences. Now if only I get insurance to cover more than two trips a year--I need all the forced relaxation I can get!
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get on and blog a delicious (and deliciously bad for you) recipe--I'd do it today but I can't get the picture to upload!
