re: Do you close your eyes during a teeth cleaning?

Yesterday was my first visit in several years

I go twice a year.

Y'all know insurance pays for preventive care twice a year.

I get cleanings 4 times a year. I've never paid out of pocket for them. My dental insurance somehow covers it (even though the plan says it covers 2 cleanings a year)

Nice!

My company must provide the worst dental insurance on Earth. We have to pay around $30 for cleanings.

I stare at them right in the eyes just like my dog does to me when he’s taking a shite.

Dentist gives me sunglasses and headphones. Time for a nap

Surprised I didn't see the obligatory "women are nasty" comment.

I usually doze off so I guess I close my eyes.

What I really hate is when the hygentis or dentist start making small talk while they're working on your teeth.

my dentist used to have one of those, she wouldn't shut up, would go on political/social tirades, and constantly try to push dental hygiene products on you, and would ask you questions while she's working on you, I told my wife after one cleaning that I wasn't going back, she told the dentist when she was in her office(dentist was asking if I was on the schedule for a check up,) the dentist actually called me to talk about it, I guess the girl was racking up complaints because she was gone shortly after that

My dentist has a tv mounted to the ceiling with Netflix. They ask you what you want to watch beforehand.

I had to stop watching The Office because I would start laughing during
