When I was a kid, I was terrified of going to the dentist. TERRIFIED. I still don’t necessarily enjoy it, but I don’t lose sleep over it and almost have a nervous breakdown in the weeks leading up to my appointment anymore. Mostly.
The dentist really has the power to elicit some incredibly strong responses and opinions…so let’s look at the evidence.
1. Flossin’ all night.
I have a dentist appointment first thing tomorrow morning.
If you need me, I'll be cramming six months worth of flossing into one night.

3. Might make things a little easier.
Invention idea: A dentist drill that sounds like a lovely, melodious harp.

4. You’re good to go!
DENTAL HYGIENIST: your teeth and gums are moments from death. Quit your job so you can floss 16 times an hour. I hate you!
DENTIST: looks good!— Luke Mones (@LukeMones) October 23, 2018
5. You’re doing it right.
I don't make dentist appointments, I make nitrous oxide appointments.

6. It’s a give and take relationship.
Every time my dentist is kind enough to tell me I need to floss, I am kind enough to tell him that he needs to trim his nostril hairs.

7. I want to hear this…
Dentist: ok open up
"Well I guess it all started when my dad left…"
Dentist: no I mean-
Assistant: wait bill…let him finish

8. I feel this tweet in my soul.
Going to the dentist is a great way to remind yourself what a coward you are.

9. Nailed it.
I get the same feeling at the dentist that I get when a cop car is behind me; I haven't done anything wrong, but I feel incredibly guilty.

10. Look away!
Jaws wide open, gums & teeth exposed, the last thing you want is a good-looking dentist! #iForgotToFloss

11. I’m kind of a big deal.
To sound important, when my dentist books my appointment 6 months away and asks, "Does 10am work?", I say,"Ugh, busy. How about 2?".

12. Not gonna happen.
When my kids assure me they will clean up their mess, I know how my dentist must feel when I assure him I will floss.

13. It’s HELL.

15. I can’t imagine why…
