So I go to the dentist today. First I get there early thinking how nice it would be to help keep them on schedule. Well they are closed form 1 to 2 for lunch. SO about 5 after they oen the door and I go in...to wait 10 minutes. The dentist I usually see has sold the practice. Well they used to have stuff for you to go brush your teeth before the vist...the drawers that they had them in are practcally empty. They have a tooth bush but no tooth paste. So I fantically chew some gum. I sit down and the hygenist does the usual poking and prodding. "Looks good she says" "No bleeding". We I guess this was bad because at that point I think she made it her mission to make me bleed. She grabs the metal hooks and starts scraping and digging. Its bad when they take their gloved hand out of your moth and the gloves are red. 
It was not fun. So then she flosses me...which is not easy because my teeth are REALLY close together...slip, pop and ouch! SHe pushed too hard trying to get the floss in. She then polishes and the dentist comes in....to look in my mouth for a max of 2 minutes. She lighty (thank God) pokes around and says, you have pretty teeth. No Cavities at least.
One cool thing though is that they have a parafin wax thingy that they did right before I sat down. Although it doesn't make up for the pain! That was my gum behotch!
Does anyone actually like going to the dentist?

no, she's really nice, she's this 4' tall indian woman and she does everything herself. I've always been terrified of dentists and she's sooo nice and extra careful. I had to be fit for a crown a few months ago and she had an especially hard time (my mouth is too small, go figure) but my gums never bled
