i have a man-crush on my dentist..simply for not putting me in pain. he is old school and his tools reflect that. i have gone under that sonic thing and it is not comfortable. my dentist is so old school, he actually does all his own work. no hygenist doing anything. he opens up a sealed packages of picks, and goes to town. my discomfort is directly proportional to my 6-month commitment to flossing. i do my part, and his part is a cakewalk.
my FIL has gone to a hack. get this, he got a root canal on all of his teeth. ones that didnt even hurt. sorta a preemptive strike against toothpain. all in one year..the insurance was done and he put out $20k out of pocket. i mentioned this to my dentist, and he was stunned. he said, a dentist shouldnt treat a tooth unless it is in pain. or damaged.
