I went to the dentist yesterday. Sitting in the chair, I realized a lot of things. Feel free to bask in my knowledge. Which could possibly only be true with my dentist. Not sure how yours is..
- they play music for you in the dentst's chair so you don't only hear them scraping at your teeth.
- they wear those masks for many reasons.
-one, they don't want you looking at their teeth
-two, they don't want to smell your breath
-three, they're super stylish
-four, they probably have to. regulations must be kept!
- they like to start their conversations as they start working on your teeth, so all you can say is mmhmmmm. That could be fun for them.
- the older the lady, the more brutal she is. No one likes getting Teresa. Sorry, truth hurts sometimes.
- they give you sunglasses to wear so you don't make awkward eye contact with them. (I used to to think they were looking at me- no, they are looking at my teeth, and that's all.) And I guess they're being nice so you don't have to look at the light...
- you only get a prize if you're under ten, UNLESS you specifically ask for one. Tempting.
- i would not want to be looking at people's teeth all day.
- when you leave, you smell like the dentist all day long.
and that's about it.
love Rae.
it's SO true!
ReplyDeletebut, what the music does not prevent is you hearing their stomach growling the whole time. goodness woman, eat some lunch, will ya? i don't feel comfortable with your tummy growling while you're looking at the insides of my mouth. (and probably my leftovers stuck in it...)
i love the dentist; but it's an insanely awkward place. let's just be honest.
