I don't see why so many people hate the dentist. The only reason I dislike them is that I don't have a dental plan, so every time I go it's about 200-400 dollars I'm losing out on. It's kind of fun for me. I have a half-frozen face which feels really cool and is fun to poke at. Even with the drilling, the experience was kind of relaxing. Makes me wonder how each of the CMC would react to a trip to the dentist...
I'll get back to writing.

Inspiration much?
Oh it's entirely the bill that makes us hate them.
I am just lucky that my teeth are good, and I don't need to see them much at all.
But when it costs $200 to just have them looked at, and something like $1000+ to have even a small cavity fixed, you start to hate them pretty fast.
I could get a large number of ponies for that level of cash.
My hate of the dentist can be summed up in two words.
Fluoride. Paste.
*shudder*
After shattering my top front teeth a long time ago and having four years of work done on my teeth (military dentists don't have enough to do), I've learned not to hate dentists. Heck, for the three cavities I've managed to get in the past 30 years, I've not had any anesthesia pumped into my mouth. It doesn't actually hurt.
So yeah, I'm not sure why people are afraid of the dentist either (except when they see the bill). Also, numb face IS pretty awesome.
Mostly for me its just the thought of people with pointy things working near my throat. It makes me claustrophobic,
Dentists don't really frighten me. They just annoy me. I can deal with the poking and prodding with sharp instruments and the undignified aspect of having somepony else brushing and flossing my teeth. What annoys me is that they try to hold conversation with their instruments in my mouth. I am neither good at small-talk nor talking at all when my mouth is filled with metal. I can hardly imagine why they'd try to make me do both.

Know the feeling, the military dentists are not the most gentle of people, that and it really doesn't help that i've cracked the same filling three times, and am supposed to have wisdom teeth removed, and then replace the tooth I broke god knows how long ago on the main sights of my MGS(the stryker with the 105mm cannon)

Ouch. I shattered mine in a 'friendly' game of tag...
I know you Stryker guys love your toys, but did you really have to kiss it?

Love that abusive little whore.......
maybe, but not out loud, and besides, I would rather be on a real tank(abrams) But the stryker is better than anything else I guess
Probably because I lose the ability to breath through my nose at the dentist, so I'm pretty much choking the whole time.
Two words. Gag reflex. I gag when there's something distasteful, unwanted, or generally unpleasant to me in my mouth. The viscosity of the dentists toothpaste, the depth of the tools, and the fact that I can't swallow and that suctiony thing doesn't really work too well when place on the side of my mouth. I'm so bad with gagging that when I have to take medications it can only be a pill or tablet. I gag on chewables. I just really don't like the flavor of the liquid, some of which do make me gag. In short, gagging sucks.
