Going to the dentist can be a scary thing for many people. About a quarter of the world's population are terrified of dentists one way or another, and who can blame them. When you think of dental clinics, chances are scary dental clinics from horror movies comes to mind with a weird strange man wielding some kind of pliers or drill...
Personally, I used to be terrified of dentists up to the point I rather face a gunman who can shoot me in the head because that toothache has become so unbearable then to see the dentist...and I relied a lot on pain killers... and well, since parents are usually their children's role models, some of my fear of dentist rubbed off on my daughter who also thought a visit to the dentist is just as good as a visit to some hellish and scary place, not that I blame her since her last visit to a dentist was indeed a bad memory and a very painful experience.
You see, she had to had stitches done on her gums and a cast on her teeth as she had fell hard and hit the floor face forward, and there had been a split gash on her gums and teeth were rattled badly. And well, most dental clinic are just cold, with the smell of medicine and in many ways scary...
As a result, she did not have great teeth...
