How do you feel about going to the dentist?

Asked at South Junior High School on May 15, 2007

“I have braces, so I've gotten used to going a lot. It's not so bad.”

“I don't like the dentist. She's my worst enemy. I like her, I just don't like the tools she uses.”

“I'm fine with it. There's nothing really to be afraid of and it helps your appearance and keeps your teeth healthy.”

“I like going to the dentist. Sometimes when I get a tooth pulled it might be scary, but I like it.”

“It's OK, because I get my teeth checked out and it's not really that scary. And sometimes I get to get out of school.”

“I don't mind it until they start using the tools. Then it's pretty uncomfortable. It's better now that I don't have braces.”

“I'm usually nervous because I've had cavities the last couple of times. But at least I get some free stuff when I'm done.”

“I like going to the dentist. It's fun and it feels really good after I get my teeth cleaned.”
