as a dentist, I already konw we've got that bad rap... "I hate dentists" is a mantra repeated throughout the world everyday in dental offices. It really stinks that as a dentist, kids will be screaming in the wating room even before they see me... heck even before they've seen any dentist.
Parents please! Don't help us out by telling your kids that it won't hurt... or it won't hurt too much... or (God forbid) that it really will hurt like hell! After three solid days of screaming kids I can see why I never became a kids dentist. Some of these kids have really bad teeth and need immediate treatment... "helping" us only makes it worse.
