  • School Dentist

    Who remembers trips to the dentist only to be faced with the dreaded gas mask? The rubber smell was enough to make anyone sick.
    I'd rather have gas than a needle any day though

    It used to really puzzle me how he managed to work in my mouth with that mask over my face , was a few years older before I realised it was taken off as soon as I conked out

      Had it as a 8yr old...put me off dentists for life....felt like I was suffocating.


      Took me 30 years to go back to a dentist...broken tooth got infected and I was in AGONY so had no choice.


      I was terrrified in the chair...had the needle...hardly felt it go in, then felt nothing as he removed the tooth. Couldn't believe how ok it all was.

        Re: School Dentist

        I used to be terrified of the dentist when i was little. I remember trying to run away once but getting caught, dragged back in and held down in the chair while he put the mask on me. Think i had some teeth out. These days im ok with dentists. But yeah that mask....uuuurrghhh!!!!!

        And the dentist at my highschool, i hated her. She always treated you like a 5 year old. She'd say stuff like "now tell mummy this" or "Tell mummy that". So annoying.

            I was never bothered by the dentist and have never had gas.

            Ive got an op coming up to remove a wisdom tooth soon, dreading the pain after but at least i'll get a few days off work

                    Only just found this thread and am feeling a bit mistified. I remember schools dentists visiting several times during my childhood but they only ever did a check-up. School dentists never did any work on your teeth. They'd report back to your partents what needed to be done - if anything. It is the case now and it was forty years ago.

                    But using a mask to put you out? At school?? Seriously?

                      No-one was more dreading going back to the dentists than me, but it was 100% ok thank God!

                        I remember having the school dentist a few times at primary school, but they only did an examination.

                        My bother had to have some teeth out & had gas, which he claimed smelt like a dry cleaners.

                          My school dentist referred me to a dentist at a local health centre.

                            Same for me MB. They never did any work at school, just informed your parents of any work needing to be done at your own dentist.
