I want to bite people. I don't know why, but I always have. This usually isn't an issue, but when a dentist starts poking his fingers around in my main orifice of entry, I get this urge, this urge to bite his fingers off! :twisted:
How do you deal with inappropriate urges like this?
I don't know, but the majority is saying yes, not that this is scientific of anything...
I'm assuming the majority don't like their dentist, and don't remember that the dentist is a person at the moment that the dentist is hurting them.
Dentists are so good at forgetting their patients are people. When I was a boy, I had one that would tell me I am not in pain when I clearly was (having one of those scrapers stuck into my gum is pretty painful), and also talked to me as if I was part of the audience on an episode of Play School. Finally, about the time I was twelve years old, I didn't just bite her, I hit her. I did not go to another dentist for about four or five years after that.
Dentists can whine and plead all they like, but until they take some responsibility for how their patients feel, they will have the same kind of reputation as people surgeons who wish to cure things the patient can live with against their will.
Why should you? They clearly care not a fig about how much discomfort their patients feel. Why should we care about their feelings?
Yes, they are just doing a job after all.
I have thought about it many a time
luckily I know better than to do so lol
A simple root canal is not simple. It is painful and weakens the tooth so it's likely to develop further problems down the line. It's better to just have the tooth extracted and be done with it. I can't believe any dentist would do a root canal without anaesthetic anyway.
Dentists make a fair amount of money out of root canals and the associated care needed later on if further decay occurs in that tooth. If it does and it's where the nerve was removed (part of the process of getting a root canal filling), extensive damage occurs before the patient starts to feel pain (if the tooth has more than one nerve and the decay reaches the other nerve).
I was a biter in kindergarten and the earlier years of primary school, mainly because of my small size. I soon learned that the biter was "always wrong". One teacher bit me really hard because I bit her for messing with my finger painting.
Some people have stronger teeth than others. It's not just about how often they eat lollies and brush and floss.
The only thing I liked to bite was the small round lightbulbs in my nightlight. It used seriously to upset my parents finding their toddler with a mouth full of glass and they couldn't figure out why I persisted. I personally think now that perhaps they should have put the nightlight out of reach?!
Even thinking about it now, I get the urge to put a bulb into my mouth - and I'm 49!
Ooh, how does he do his own fillings? Wouldn't he still have to drill the teeth somehow?
I have bitten a dentist, and pretty hard too. She was putting a cap on a front tooth. She drilled the tooth down to an ugly little nub, then threatened to send me home that way because I told her I was in pain. She didn't give me anything more for the pain so I waited until she was almost done and, chomp!
How would he have anaesthetised himself though?
I like chicks who bite, if that counts
I seem to recall at least trying to bite a dentist, when I was a kid, not sure if I managed to remove any meat though, it was a long time ago.
I bit a few people during my time in jail though, dickheads who wanted to prove something, I mean, its amazing how they expect you to fight fair, when their the ones starting the fight, especially after biting a big chunk out of one guys wrist
I saw on another forum a comment from a parent who was proud of her aspie son for biting the dentist. She said "he bit the dentist, bless him". The child would have been frightened but it's still not something to be proud of - it's more of an unfortunate happening.

Eww! I can't stand things in my mouth, like at a dentist, or when a doctor uses a tongue depressor. I even have trouble with using a toothbrush, and feel like I'll gag if it's there for more than a quick brush. I don't have that problem with food, but even getting a hair in my mouth is a distressing sensation.
