Why do dentists have such a bad reputation compared to other kinds of doctors? - Lemmy.world

I’d say it’s the experience of going to a dentist which has the reputation, not the dentists themselves. My dentist is great. I hate seeing him. Even when it’s just a checkup and clean, he puts a drill in my mouth. I’m a human being, not an ore vein.
Yep. My dentists office has the greatest people and the best service of any business I can think of. And I still hate going there.
