It's that time of year again... the reminder card is sitting on my desk. Let's just say, I'm SO happy Dr. B. came back and rebuilt! He tries to be gentle, uses prenumbing goo before the shot. I think the better dentists are fully aware of the dental fear factor and do their best to be gentle. Then there are the brutes... Maybe if the brutes sat in their own chairs, and then in a chair of a gentle dentist and had to choose? Or maybe for some folks, there's no hope?
