There is a common fear of the dentist in our country, which I feel is absurd! Our modern day dentists are very skilled and precise oral operators. Fear of the dentist office is an old misconception from back in the days when dentistry was sort of a medieval practice. I'm sure pictures of tools that look like they belong in a torture chamber come to mind. Fortunately, you don't have to worry about that anymore since the dental field has evolved into a very safe and painless practice.
I am unfamiliar with the fear of the dentist, my three brothers and I all enjoyed going to the dentist. Maybe it is because our dentist is a good family friend or maybe it is because I just love being in the medical office environment. I also enjoy all of the procedures that they do on their patients; I may be the only one who has enjoyed getting their teeth pulled. So that is one of the reasons why I want to pursue the dental field. I love being in the dentist office and can see myself there in the future. I feel that I can change the common misconception of how the dentist office is perceived; you should enjoy going there not be scared.
