For the last 3 weeks, every Wednesday I had to go through this ordeal of a Dentist Appointment. Thank God, with yesterday I am done. I don't know what it is with Dentist (like any other Doctor they are also in a Noble profession), but majority of the people - Kids and Grown-ups dislike going to a Dentist. In the 3 hours of time that I was staring at the roof with my mouth wide open while the doctor filled my cavities I came up with this thought-provoking list of why we might be disliking Dentists (List is in no particular order):

• The pain while surgeon is operating, especially the drilling
• The thought of keep your mouth opened for long period
• The discomfort of so many instruments inside your mouth
• The fear that the dentist will pull off your teeth
• The idea that you will be told not to eat sweets/ice cream hence forth
• You are awake and the fact you have lost control over your body
• You can't cry or shout for help
