Faced with the choice of enduring a bad toothache or going to the dentist, we generally tried to ride out the bad tooth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I hate dentists. That's why my tooth fell out. I was in the middle of a root canal and wouldn't go back, so it just dropped out when I was in the middle of Fifth Avenue.
I'd rather go to the dentist... but I'm going.
Trips to the dentist - I like to postpone that kind of thing.
I'm okay with having horrible lower teeth.
Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth.
A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance.
Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill.
I do get scared of the dentist, so a drive-through dentist might make me feel more at home. If I got to stay in my car.
The grinding of the intellect is for most people as painful as a dentist's drill.
Better a tooth out than always aching.
