I went to the Dentist

[mgraham333]

I went to the Dentist today and the most painful part of the experience was the fact that Kenny G was playing from the speakers overhead.

That happens to me every time I go to the dentist! I guess they think it enhances a majority of the population's ability to relax, but it just gives me agitas. I find myself hoping for Sanborn or the Yellowjackets...

My dentist always asks me, "Would like some music, to kind of... relax you?" I always respond, "No thanks, it will only aggravate me." My dentist gives me a confused look every time. For me, the silence is better than the dentist's music.

Sounds like my uncle's office (orthodontist). Every time I went, that's what they'd be listening to. My aunt, the office manager, told me they had a 5-disc changer in the office, with 5-discs of Kenny G in it.

Another reason to avoid the dentist for another 19 years. 1985 was not a good year.

I would like to know what Dmitry has pumping through his office speakers.

My guess, not Kenny G.

Do you not go to the dentist often?

I avoided going to the dentist for many years. I brushed my teeth all the time hoping that nothing bad would happen. Finally, the anxiety of it made me go to the dentist. He found nothing wrong except that I needed a good cleaning. He suggested I don't wait so long next time. I get a cleaning every six months these days. I can't take the dentist-avoidance anxiety again.

If you must ask ... that's what's on right now.

OK, back to work.

I went to the bathroom today.

[catesta]

What were you listening to?

[neveronfriday]

No music.

Too distracting.

But in the living room, I had some remastered Judas Priest running way too loud. And no, that was not the reason for the bathroom visit.

Cheers!

Hmmm.... I have a dental appt today. My Dentist has switched from a smooth jazz station to an oldies station. Ahh, much better.

Ahh, must better ...

... do what? Wait for him to switch to a jazz station to get some real dental work done?

[DTMX]

My dentist plays country music and once took his office staff to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert. I get my tooth cleaned every six months, even if it don't need it.

My last visit to the dentist started with the local smoth jazz station. Before he started work he changed it to WBGO, then it turned the day into the VISIT FROM HELL. I'll never go back there again.

One might say the "smooth" jazz would have been an early warning, but I say the rant about ...

1. gas prices

2. the prisoner scandal in Iraq ("we're only doing to then what they would do to us!")

3. his two tours of Nam

4. he thinks Kerry flip flops, but isn't voting for shrub.

should have been a warning.

He totally fucked up the anesthetic and wouldn't give me anything more. Very painfull.

Unprofessional and unethical. I was going to write a letter to the dean of the school (this guy should stick to teaching) but my sister showed up for a week and caused all sorts of other problems. So I gave up on the dean letter writing scheme.

I'll be checking in with my parents dentist soon.

My dentist is into television. He's got FOX news on whenever I'm there. He's rightwing, and we get along just fine...

Hope it hurts.
