Actually, we need go to a dentist at least once in six months, but when we were kids, we used to be get frightened going to the dentist. Why? Because the dentist has so many 'frightening' tools for a child, The sounds are also frightening, just like a sawing machine. Now though we have so much choice - a search for dentist derby in Google gives me a number of dentists in my area, all of which have websites and they all proclaim to use the latest technologies and pain management procedures - all very reassuring! Not like when I was a kid when going to the dentists was a step into the unknown! We'd go there imagining only pain and discomfort, and sometimes our fears were even realised! Nowadays it's a lot more relaxing and reassuring, and I wish I was a kid growing up in 2012, not the early 80s!
