What if I'm not terrified by dentists, will is still arrive in 2013? Or am I just farked?

Does not approve.

people are actually terrified by dentists? I always thought that was a myth like people who are scared of clowns.

Having seen a plasma "brush" burn through 1/4" plate steel like butter, i am skeptical...

My dentist is a milf. She terrifies me for a whole other set of reasons.

/so does her dental hygienist

My dentist is also my girlfriend. No way in hell I'd let her get near my mouth with that thing.

TFA says it will also reduce the costs associated with dental procedures. Anyone want to bet that it still stays prohibitively expensive?

It'll still cost you a king's ransom, I bet.

Goodbye toothbrush!

It's all well and good until somebody has his face sheared off with that death ray.

toothbrush? Well, la-dee-da Mr. Too-Good-To-Use-His-Finger.

BrynnMacFlynn: o.o PLEASE! I used to be okay with dentists, but after having my dentist (who did my teeth my whole life) hit a nerve twice in two fillings with the Novocaine, I can't go to the dentist without being sedated. This would be a godsend.

Novocain doesn't seem to work on me, so I've always gone with sedation. To be honest, I kind of like it. It's a happy, novel, hangover free buzz.

Make the lead up to your appt a wondrous week filled with gifts, flowers and lots of attention.

It'll be just cheap enough that you can afford it, and just expensive enough that it feels like being kicked in the stomach.

Not uncommon in the least little bit.

I hate clowns with a passion. The only good clown is a dead clown.

Bunch of wimps. I recently had to get some fillings (chipped tooth, beginning of a cavity) and the doc was super cool about it.

He asked if I wanted the shot. I asked him "Is it going to hurt?" He said "yes". "Then you better goddamn believe it".

"Uh, just for the record, are there people that say no?" "Yes, just had one earlier today actually."

/You aren't a hero, Mr. I'm too good for Lidocaine.

Mugato: WTF is terrified by dentists, besides Dustin Hoffman?

It will arrive in 2013 If you're terrified by dentists

I've had a number of fillings, and have never used a shot. The only time there's any pain is when the drilling is nearly complete; the drill heats up the surrounding tooth. Make a little noise, and my dentist steps back for a moment. Maybe I just feel pain differently from you, or maybe you're over-reacting a touch.

weren't around in the 50 and 60's were you? Dentist had a habit of pulling baby teeth without any pain meds

How soon until they invent a gum that eats the plaque off your teeth while you chew?

Well super, so in the future I'll be one of a minority of freaks that still has all their bullshiat silver fillings from the 80s that fark your teeth up worse than the problems they 'fix', meanwhile people will be getting custom designs drawn into their teeth with tiny lightsabers.

Every time I go to the dentist, I'm thankful that I had the good fortune to live in the 21st century.

Especially that one time I needed a root canal.

Could be worse. My brother, my father, my grandfather and myself are totally immune to novocaine. Found out I had it when I had an ingrown toenail removed. Doc shot me up with it 6 times and it didn't work. Only time I have truly cried due to pain.

It costs like $200 per tooth to get those replaced by ceramic which are the same color as your tooth. Depending on how many fillings you have that's not a bad deal at all.

As much as I hate pain, I'll probably say no next time.
The last time I had work done, the shot caused me to lose most my sense of taste for 6 months.
(I still have spots o my tongue that can't taste anything)

anything that makes the process faster is a win for me. I have TMJ so any dental work means a week or more of extreme jaw pain. I tried sedation once because the dentist said he could work faster but he pushed my jaw so hard I was sore for almost a month. I don't react well to the 'cains so I make sure I stay on top of the cleanings.

/"stop taking and just get the work done" was what I told one of the hygienists: she was holding my jaw open and chatting with a co-worker about a baby shower.

a little off the top, please?

I've gone through 3/8 plate with mine - however teeth aren't as electrically conductive as steel.

Lumber Jack Off: people are actually terrified by dentists? I always thought that was a myth like people who are scared of clowns.

Neither are myths.

Walking into a dentists makes me go sheet white, my heart starts racing and my mouth goes dry.
My better half makes my appointments for me without my knowledge and tricks me into going. She know without her doing this I will never go.
On the other hand she is just as afraid of clowns and has almost identical physiological response to them and has been know to burst into tears if one pops up on the tv.
Personally I think my fear is more reasonable since dentists are evil satanic b'tards but clowns are just morons in a silly outfit

Does your dentist have a website?

Well aren't you fancy. The moment my teeth hit the cool air, there's pain. Even getting a cleaning hurts because of the air and even worse, the cold water they rinse your mouth with. I hate going to the dentist more than anything else.

Did the doc burn your nail root with silver nitrate? I'll bet that's an awfully pleasant feeling at 100% pain sensitivity.

I had to get an ingrown nail removed when I was a kid, and they gave me tons of lidocaine too, without any effect. Then they told me to look at the wall instead of my foot, and suddenly, magically, I couldn't feel a thing.

So, where you watching?

GoodyearPimp "Uh, just for the record, are there people that say no?" "Yes, just had one earlier today actually."

My dentist gave me needle phobia at age 3, due to a bad novocaine injection. As a kid and teen I would not get novocaine. Either nothing or laughing gas (which was pretty worthless).

Childhood of awful teeth (had baby teeth that came in with cavities). Teen years with palate extender, braces, and having teeth filed down. Adulthood with botched root canal, having healthy teeth's roots worn away by impacted wisdom teeth, and a strong gag reflex (brushing teeth some mornings makes me dry heave). Damn farking straight I fear the dentist. So please dear lord let this breakthrough happen!

/my mom likes to tell the story about the time I almost kicked the dentist in the head

probesport: LoneVVolf: Having seen a plasma "brush" burn through 1/4" plate steel like butter, i am skeptical...

I've gone through 3/8 plate with mine - however teeth aren't as electrically conductive as steel.

lets see

Calcium 3.36×10−8 2.98×107
Iron 1.0×10−7 1.00×107

Calcium seems to be 3x more conductive than Iron

"It uses a new plasma brush that disinfects and cleans out cavities, killing bacterias and forming a better bond for the fillings. "

I thought "bacteria" is already in plural, no?

/just sayin'
