A whole lot of people out there are scared of going to the dentist. And they should be. A complete stranger pokes and prods in all corners of your mouth with their fingers and very sharp and scary instruments while you sit there trying to not to fre*k out.
It’s no fun at all, I tell ya!
Let’s dive into these very accurate tweets about the fear, trepidation, and awkwardness that occurs when we go to the dentist.
1. How is that possible?

2. A last-ditch effort.
Flossing the day of a dentist appointment feels a lot like cramming for a history test you didn't study for but with more blood.

3. Pretty much all the time.
Dentist: Do you grind your teeth?
Me: Yes, I have a child.— John Carpenter’s The Alex Nevil (@TheAlexNevil) October 19, 2017
4. Let’s get serious.
Me: what should I do?
Dentist: stop eating sugar, drinking coffee and wine, cut back on stress..
Me: right but like realistically

5. Time to get a restraining order.
My dentist sent me a reminder postcard
And a reminder email
And a reminder text
If he shows up outside my window with a boombox, I'm out

6. Sure I do…
Dentist: (cleaning my teeth) Do you floss every day?
Me: (gargling on blood) Yes, why?

9. Take a chill pill.
Some day, every single one of us will be gone, then anyone that ever knew us will gradually die away, eventually the whole planet will be consumed by the Sun, and every fragment of our existence will disappear forever, so what I'm saying is dentists need to relax about flossing

10. I could’ve been something…
My life would have been very different had I done anything with the same intensity as brushing my teeth on the day of a dentist appointment.

11. I meant two times ever.
DENTIST: how often do u brush ur teeth
ME: twice a day.
DENTIST: and floss?
ME: tw–ttwice.

DENTIST: a day?

ME: i stand by wat i said.— jonny sun (@jonnysun) March 15, 2016

My next dentist appointment is in two weeks and I’m already dreading it.
What about you? Do you get scared of going to the dentist, or is it just a walk in the park for you?
