I have checked around with other guys in the Curmudgeon Societé Generale and all seem to be as one on the topic of going to the dentist - it sucks. There's just no way around it. My Sainted wife goes voluntarily three times a year. Me? - only under duress.
The trouble with putting it off the way I do is that the dental people have to do that much more every time I go - new x-rays, a vigorous cleaning, extra admonitions about flossing and other things no sane person does, lies like "this won't hurt a bit" - it is no small wonder I dread the dentist.
A good friend of mine is a retired state employee, so his benefits are ridiculously generous. Dental coverage is part of his package. We in the private enterprise world have long done without such amenities, which means we PAY for the privilege of seeing dentists.
That certainly doesn't help their popularity.
