I do not like being a patient at the dentist, but worked for one for years, it was my job to make you feel better about being there. I did enjoy that as people with the worse fear felt better if I was there to hold their hand. Funny thing is I sit here writing this with one of the baddest toothaches in my life. I was really good at taking care of others but not good with myself! Now I wish I had the means to go and get them all pulled, I would! May I add...There is just something about someone being in my personal space that I don't like. Dentist seem to have to cross that line!
