[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 42857, member: 97"] I have to say I understand these stories. there are good and bad dentists. I have worked since 1971 (after dental tech school) as a hygienist, an assistant and now as practice manager. by the way I walked out on one guy I worked for three yrs...after he slapped a young boy across the face and threw his hand mirror across the room. I went to the waiting room, told the mom and the mother said "well Mikey should have behaved" I walked out and never returned. the guy I have worked for the past 26 yrs would never ever hurt a child. we do preschool tours of our office and love to let 200 3 and 4 yr olds come (in small groups of 10 or 12) and play with out chairs and squirt guns, we show them their teeth on TV, we have tooth puppet shows. when they are 3 we try them for the first visit...a ride in the chair, the polish on their teeth in yummy flavors. if they have tons of work to be done, we may try first "sleepy juice" that the doctor RX for the patient. they come in groggy. if they are really defiant they are sent to a pedodontist who employs an anesthesiologist. they are put out and all work is done at one visit. older people tell me every day of the traumas they had as kids. a lot of people were not given novocaine and it hurt. we have a drill-less air abrasion machine used on kids to fix fills and not have to have a shot. it blows pumice on the tooth and cleans out the decay. the kids wear sunglasses and we have cartoons on TV when we do it. it doesnt have to hurt and if it does....go elsewhere.
