How do dentists choose their dentist and do you enjoy having procedures?

Or do you get nervous like the rest of us when you have a cleaning, filling, crown, root canal?

Thats a really good question.. I wish a dentist would answer that.. I have wondered that..I also am wondering if a dentist got neuralgia from dental work or unexplained dental pain from dental work, what would they do?

good question! now I'm curious as to how they choose their dentist. What qualities do they look for. Hopefully a dentist comes back to answer this

An interesting question.

When being treated at a 2-partner practice I attended about 20 years ago, the dentist told me she was dental phobic and her friend wasn't keen either. They then trained together as dentists and opened the practice together so they could treat each other. I'm not sure whether it was true, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Both have since retired but remain good friends, now with the same new interests.

Really don't mind having any dental treatment, doesn't bother me at all.

I normally "choose" depending on who's got some free time available to see me in the clinic when it suits me to get the work done.
