Stephen, the thing is, dentists don’t really bother me either: I’m just worried in case they remove the veneer and the tooth underneath breaks off with it. Then there’d be no tooth to stick a new veneer onto, and I’d be screwed, basically. And as for the cost – well, let’s just say it’s A LOT…

Here’s something that works for me – recite Pam Ayres’ poems! Especially the one about going to the dentist. Inside your head, of course…

Ok..

you close your mouth when the Dentist isn’t fiddling in it.. unless you can’t / she tells you not to..

If she talks to you and your treatment is finished you sit up propping yourself with your elbows. She will get the hint to move the chair.

And finally, you won’t get stabbed in the eyeball.
