Do you enjoy Dental instruments?

Anyone else feel this way? I love the dental explorer being used during a check up my dentist is sadistic with it she picks at the grooves of my molars really aggressively with it and it pings off my teeth. I feel like it’s such a brutal tool even if you say you brush and floss regularly there is no hiding place once the explorer enters your mouth and starts scratching away at your teeth it’s going to tell the truth and find any cavities

I love them. Especially the mirror-explorer combo. When my dentist examines me or cleans my teeth I get so hard.

I enjoy the drill a great deal. The noise, the burning tooth dust you can smell. The way it screams and screeches along with you internally as it bores deeper into your nerves. You deserve it for not taking care of your teeth. And the chair. The way your sweaty legs melt on the plastic as it goes backwards and raises so that the drill can reach you. And the molt prop. It clicks your mouth open wider than you can naturally open so the dentist can work. And the gas mask, the way it humiliates you on your nose and is attached to many tubes.

I am also fascinated by the dental explorer, especially when it gets stuck in cavities, and no caries remains undiscovered.

It is, of course, the premonition of the drill.

With my previous dentist, it was normal for all cavities to be treated directly in the same session.

So the stuck probe was a prelude to an unpleasant encounter with the drill.

For me the drill and the files that are used in a root canal treatment are the most invasive, overwhelming and nice. But of course all instruments that are availabler in a dental office have their own positive feelings.

I'm a big fan of the diagnostic instruments. Explorers and periodontal probes lay bare what's going on in your mouth. I like it when a clinician really takes their time to pick at all the surfaces of a tooth with the explorer and then check subgingivally for calculus deposits. Periodontal probing is also something fun when it's done properly. I like it when they have to bring an assistant in to record the pocket depths, the embarrassment of having another person there to hear your pocket depths, especially if they're not good, is a heck of a feeling.

I hate Dentist's PERIOD!!!

Heck yea! Things like the drill and probe are common but give some love to the scaler or the dental dam. Ive fitted my own dental dams before and they are such an experience to have, pair it with a bite blocker or gag under neath and it feels like your about to have a root canal. But cant beat the good old extraction forceps, tried and true for removing stubborn teeth 😉
