The most thrilling part of a dentist visit?

I love the dentist , i am addicted to all things dental

It's similar to the thrill at the gynecologist, just the opposite end of my body. I lay back, I'm in position, the light is adjusted, I open up and the exam begins.

I can well understand that… Laying back full length in the dentist's chair must make some women feel quite vulnerable, and for some quite thrilling perhaps. The dentist's hands close to her breasts, her legs showing below her light summer dress…

One thing I did like about going to a dentist's office, was the scent of oil of cloves. In my younger days it seemed this was always present in every dentist i ever had to go to.

Eugenol. I have to admit the smell walking into the dentists office is mildly off putting to me. Having had to have crown's done in October and March, and a cleaning in between, I have spent more time at the dentist's than I prefer. My dentist is a great doctor and highly skilled. When I had the broken tooth, all I wanted to do was go and get it fixed. But once it is fixed, I agree with the other posts here… get me the heck out!

There is an article at https://www.huffpost.com/entry/what-is-that-dental-offic_b_707865 about the various smells in a dentists office. The “clove” smell is the one I remember all the way back to being child and is still present to this day.

I love the sterile aroma of a dentist office , wish i could get my house to smell like that

I really dont like my visits to dentist, but once I went into a new one and was a brunette, beautiful women…..and in boots!!!

Too bad she left town…..

Female Dentists in latex gloves are a good idea for me.

Smoothdude, you have it exactly right "LEAVING" lol

OK…I look forward to receiving dental numbing injections! It amazes me how most folks fear the needle thinking it will be painful. Very little, if any, pain is involved if the dentist numbs the gums with a numbing topical substance before poking in the needle. Once the needle is placed, the initially injected lidocaine sometimes will briefly sting for a second or two. These shots usually take a minute or more to finish. I love to feel the numbness slowly spreading to the areas where the drilling will take place. Last January, I developed a really painful abscessed rear molar while vacationing in Florida. I was able to find a dentist who painlessly extracted it. He gave me Two very long injections followed by a series of about 5 or 6 short jabs, right around the base of the offending tooth, which I didn’t feel. Overall, he emptied two syringes of the good stuff. I DIDN’T FEEL A THING! Very little bleeding involved, too.

NOTHING!!! And the 6 months cleanings seem like only 1 month.

Leaving, I hate the dentist!
