The most thrilling part of a dentist visit?

Leaving is the only thing that thrills me.

I HATE everything about being at the dentist.

Leaving the office of the dentist is the most trilling part for me...

The most thrilling part of a dentist's visit is the end, walking out the door after not having experienced any pain while there.

I love just the attention i get from just sitting in the chair and being worked on..... and just looking at my dentist pretty eyes behind her mask and havinbg her ask me about my day as i can barely talk as she is getting me cleaned up....

For me it is choking the wannabe doctor after some degrading remarks.

It is when the hygienist is behind me and presses her breasts into my shoulders, mmmm

I'm matt 42 have a big dental fetish personally as soon as I hear the drill or see dentists walking past mask attached

I remember having sedation I went to the reception they said I'll inform them then I had a nurse gowned mask call my name to go through it was a corridor and then 2 rooms the dentist and 3 assistants were waiting for me it was very clinical

A week ago I broke a cusp off of tooth #18 (Mandibular second molar). I had a 38-year old amalgam filling and the tooth finally decided to take advantage of everything that is wrong with 2020. I will be getting a zirconium crown in a little over a week and have a temporary right now. I have three other crowns that are gold but it is so cost prohibitive now and the zirconium crowns are incredible in how they are matched. My dentist prefers them now. So all of my first and second lower molars will have crowns. Honestly the best part of it all was getting the sharp edges of the tooth removed that kept scraping my tongue. This is going to set me back around $2000. Other than cleanings, I have not had any major dental expenses in 14 years so I am ahead of the game. Good dental plans, which are about the only ones my dentist takes would have paid for this at least six times over if not more in all that time assuming a premium of $100/month. My dentist takes few plans because he doesn't have to. More than enough business to keep him busy as-is. As I wasn't an emergency, I had to wait a few days for an appointment as he was booked solid.

There isn't! 😈 I'd rather have a rectal exam. 😄

Getting the hell out of there.

When I walk out the door and don't have to come back for six months.

And I really like my dentist and the techs who work on my teeth.

If my dental exams included a blowjob from my dentist’s cute Asian-American assistant, THAT would the most thrilling part. But that doesn’t happen.

LEAVING

A year or so ago I went in to get a cavity filled. I was lying there waiting for the dentist to come in and then all of a sudden my normal hygenist, which is smoking hot, came in. She said she would be right back to numb me. OMG, I was so excited, as I didn't know she started giving the shots. So she came back, I was in pure heaven. Seeing her holding that syringe and needle, knowing it was about to be used on me. My only disappointment is that it was virtually painless because of the numbing gel they use before hand. I still enjoyed it though! Also, I don't hate going to the dentist now. My hygensists are usually hot 20 or 30 somethings, and even the female dentist is not hard to look at. A great contrast to the growing up days when the hygenist was a 60 y/o woman and the dentist was an old man. Nothing fun about that. Its just like school these days. All my teachers were mean old ladies. Now they are all hot 30 y/o women. My my how times have changed.

Laying in the dental chair knowing with the nurse behind me preparing the Hypodermic for the Novacaine that will be used on me 😃

I had the crown installed today and the total bill for everything came to $1400. I was shocked. I was expecting over $2000. The zirconium crown was $1200 but I was surprised at how little I was charged for the prep work. Total is less than a year of good dental insurance and I have not had a major dental expense since 2006.

Anyhow, so much for my thrilling activity. Barring any other cataclysm, I am clear until my cleaning in December.

I'm not into a dental fetish or anything like that, but the part I really like is my 6 month cleanings. I have a really great hygienist whom is really easy to converse with. She's really a nice, friendly lady about middle age or so and I like her chair-side manner. She's dark haired and pretty, and also has a robust figure. She's not what I would call "sexy" but she does have a pretty ample "front porch". When she cleans my teeth, her chest generally presses against my shoulder and it does feel great, soft and warm. I do enjoy it a lot but I can't get aroused when someone is scraping on my teeth with a metal tool! I am somewhat grateful for that because it would be embarrassing to me if I got aroused in the chair. I always look forward to the experience, just one of my simple pleasures.

The most thrilling part - having to excuse myself for not coming to the appointment and inventing all kind of excuses instead of telling straight that I simply forgot about it.

I hope your dentist has a hefty no-show cancellation appointment charge.

It is disgusting to make an appointment and not keep it and especially to lie and make a false excuse. That costs them money and wastes time for people who could otherwise use that appointment. This is NOT something to be proud of.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Not a dentist, but my docs office has mentioned the large number of no shows. Very inconsiderate and selfish people who don’t have the decency to cancel early. It’s hard to get a timely appointment if someone needs it when the practice is booked with last minute no shows.

Leaving. I hate going to dentist.

I enjoy the dentist. My previous hygienist was phenomenal, she talked a bit much though. She always keeps you longer than a typical appointment. She really works hard at making sure everything is done well. She is also not terrible looking, plus she looks decent in her scrubs and ppe. The new dentist isn’t too bad either, just a little young and kind of new. Overall I do not mind going to the dentist and could easily handle appointments more frequent than every six months.

Leaving. I hate going to dentist.

Agree!!!

The entire day is very thrilling. From the beginning:

I walk to the clinic, while listening to the music. I try to think that everything will be alright and that this is just an anticipation that makes me so anxious.

I open the door and that unforgettable smell enters my nostrils - now that internal monologue is an utter nonsense. I can fell the adrenaline rush and my heart starts to race. As soon as I enter the room I try to be as kind as possible, as if my life depended on it. Now when I am on the chair, I try to look natural and I try to hide my fear but the anticipation is too long and all of that acting is too exhausting, so my true emotions become visible. During procedures I try to hold my tears and I feel as if I was fainting. Also I apply a grip of death on the arms of the chair. It goes like this every single time in my case.

It is somehow exciting to feel so vulnerable and humilated in front of a female professional that is in a very dominant position. When I am around my friends, I sometimes joke about a situation in which I would be husband of a dentist - I would be the nicest and never-arguing hubby ever! I would work like a Swiss watch. 😃

I love and also hate the anticipation.

sittimg in waiting room , other people looking at you wondering what work you’re having done , knowing that if you go in before then they may hear some of your appointment , maybe the drill .

my dentist always stretches my mouth really wide and likes to have me really far back in the chair

I broke another molar back in mid-February and just had the new crown (another zirconium) installed this week. This was one of my lower wisdom teeth. As third molars are considered unnecessary, the dentist said it was a choice of either crowning it or extracting it. Problem with the extraction was I would have to have both the broken one and opposing upper one removed due to the upper one causing gum issues with the empty socket (I have all four wisdom teeth that are fully erupted and usable). He said if it was his tooth he would crown it because it is otherwise a good tooth as are the others. Total came to the same as my other four months ago.

Honestly I am getting tired of this sudden onslaught of dental issues. I would be happy to pass them off to those who enjoy undergoing dental procedures LOL.

Getting out of there.

When I get up to go and they hand me my “goody” bag of floss, brush picks, mini toothpaste and a new brush! Having to stop at reception to make my next appt. kinda takes the high out of the moment but it returns as I head out the door!

As others, leaving is the best part of a dental visit although my dentist and his staff are very friendly and he is very skilled. I would like to share two “dentist stories” that, in retrospect, made me laugh.

The first occurred during an early root canal. I live in Salt Lake City and many if not most residents are members of the Mormon church. The specialty dentist I attended that day was obviously a dedicated member of the church, given waiting room art. The office music playing in the background was entirely very nice recordings of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. While waiting for the anesthetic to “grab,” I suddenly noticed that the hymn playing was “Nearer My God to Thee.” Despite waiting for a very localized dental surgery, I was just not ready to get any nearer than I had to God that day.

The second occurred at the beginning of a dental cleaning at my regular dentist, also very religious, as are his staff. The dental hygienist asked me several general health questions and finally got to asking me if I had had any surgeries since the last visit. It was very personal surgery so I coyly answered “yes.” She asked what the surgery was. I answered “urological.” She asked “what kind of urological surgery?” I responded it was an andrological nature. She continued, “What kind of urological surgery? Could you be very specific?” So I told her directly. It was insertion of a penis prosthetic. Her eyes got big, her face turned bright red before it hit the floor, then she ran out of the room before she did whatever she was afraid of doing. After a few minutes she returned, very composed. I asked her if she was OK and she said she was and it was on with the cleaning. Old lawyer saying – “Don’t ask a question when you are afraid of the answer.“ That was my laugh for the day. I hope she was OK, too.

Terror, will he find an unexpected cavity? Just the cleaning, and the meaningless chat. It never gets suggestive, like can we do more of this?
