Just curious...

ETA: Forgot to answer my own question. I get a little nervous on the drive there, but once I'm in the office I'm fine. Weird.

PrairieMom replied: um... always. Esp the dentist. I would way rather get a Pap.

HuskerMom replied:
Me too!

I voted other because the dr doesn't scare me but the dentist does. One of our dentists here will give you a pill to calm down, I've never went to that one though.

edit: i hate the doctor though..i always go to the same office but i always have a different doctor... i always end up getting a woman

hoosier momma replied: I'm fine with the Doctor, but the Dentist really freaks me out.

My3LilMonkeys replied:
Same here. Even if I'm just going for a cleaning, I always think it's going to hurt.

Celestrina replied: Doctor, no. Dentist, yes. Growing up I hated my dentist; he was horrible with kids.

luvmykids replied: No, I'm not scared...but I can see how someone who has had major work done along with major pain would dread it!

The last time I got my teeth cleaned, it had been a few years and I didn't realize it. The dentist's feelings were hurt, he said "Did I hurt you last time you were here? Did I do something bad to you? Is that why you haven't been back in so long?" I was thinking, man, are you insecure or what? I've just been busy!

grapfruit replied: I voted no. The only times I'm ever nervous, is when I give them my symptoms and they're like "You need to come in right now! The dr will stay late or we'll squeeze you in when you get here" That'll freak you out a bit. But the most serious it's been is Shingles...

MoonMama replied: I said no....while I don't enjoy going to either, no they don't bother me.

My2Beauties replied: I only get nervous sometimes at the doctor's office like for paps or when I had my copol done But the dentist scares me to death, everytime I get my teeth cleaned it hurts, I have very very sensitive teeth and gums. He kills me.

redchief replied: Neither. I don't particularly like going to either, well, either.
