Cool & stress-free visit to Dentist?

The idea of managing such a stress-free visit to the dentist is ridiculous and imaginary!

I would never be able to do that

In fact,

Many things change as we grow up

Many horrible visions and scary situations turn to be silly, minor and even insignificant!

But “going to dentist” remains “going to dentist”  

It happens every time,

Whenever I have to go to dentist, I wake up with an awful mood,

Feeling sick

unable to focus

Disoriented

My brain starts to send signals

Weird signals

Which make my heart beat faster, my knees slightly tremble, and my stomach ashes

I hated it when I was little girl

I still hate it

And I will always will

This is what I call determination!

But after second thought

We should all close our eyes, and say a little prayer thanking God that we were not born in 17^th or  18^th century

When the dentist tools looked like that:

 A delightful pair of forceps with the jaws made in the shape of an animal head, dating to the 17^th Century

 Dental pelican. Probably French or Italian, late 17th century, made of wrought iron, 5" long overall, with its single claw mounted to a block in an adjustable slot in the frame with a winged nut.

 ‘Le sécateur dentaire’ (tooth scissors) Made and used by Paul Gresset c. 1848.

A pair of late 18th century French dental forceps for molar extractions. The unusual feature is the screw mechanism fixed to the inside of the handles which prevents the forceps closing beyond a given point and avoids fracturing the tooth.
