I have had the occasion to visit
the dentist fairly frequently in the
past few weeks and you can
learn, or at least contemplate
many facets of human nature at
such times.
Many people have, what I
think, is an unreasonable fear of
going to a dentist. Some people
are totally paranoid at the idea
and won't go until it is absolutely
necessary. Others just refuse to
go at all until the time comes
when they have to get new plates,
top and bottom.
But in all fairness, is it really
the dentist's fault? After all, he's
just doing his job, and he's not
doing it for the good of his health,
but for the good of yours. If
would you go when you get one of
dentists didn't exist, where
those terrible, head-splitting,
ear-aching toothaches?
It would be interesting to try to
find out the origins of fear of
dentists. It's sort of like a fear of
snakes, Studies have proved that
most little kids aren't at all afraid
of snakes. It's bnly when mother
comes screaming out of the house
on seeing little Johnny playing
with a garter snake that he
begins to think there is something
about this harmless, and in fact,
helpful little animal to fear.
It is much the same with
dentists. A kid going to the dentist
'for the first time may even be
looking forward to it. Then he
overhears mommy and daddy
talking.
"I'm sure he has a cavity,"
says Mommy. "They'll probably
give him a needle and what'll I
do if they want to take it out?"
"Maybe they'll let you go in
with him to hold his hand," says
Daddy. "Just tell him that they
V on' t hurt -him anymore than
tthey can ue,,p-;,; , %1 •:- ; , ;.
Meanwhile the poor kid is
going nuts. "Hurt me any more
than they can help!" he's
thinking - and the seeds of
"dental paranoia" begin to take
root.
And it doesn't really help when
he goes to the office either. Sit-
ting in the waiting room is an
experience in itself. The first
thing he sees are several pretty
ladies running around in nurses'
uniforms.
Nurses! the kids thinks. You
only see a nurse when you are
hurt or sick.
The next thing he sees is
another mother practically
'dragging her fear-ridden child
into one of the offices. And it can't
be much consolation when he
hears the sound of something
which is similar to a modified
jack-hammer.
By now the poor kid in the
waiting room is a quivering mass
of nerves.
Then the "nurse" finally leads
him into his own little cubicle to
await the arrival of the ogre who
He plays with a few bottons on
the chair and just when the kid
thinks he's got only his comfort in
mind, he realizes that his feet are
almost higher than his head, and
that the dentist definitely is in an
advantageous position to attack.
But he thinks, "Well, I'll just
keep my eyes on him and at the
very first sign of anything
unusual, I'll jump off the chair
and run".
Then the dentist tells him to
close his eyes and he wonders
fearfully what he is going to do
that he doesn't want him to see.
So he tenses himself waiting
for the first blow. But then he
hears him say, "Well that wasn't
too bad, was it?" Here he had
been concentrating so hard on
bearing that awful pain that he
didn't even feel what was done,
He is sure the worst must be yet
to come because nothing so far is
even close to what he had an-
ticipated, But then in another five
minutes the ordeal is over and
other than a slight twinge of
feeling here and there, the worst
part is that half his lips and
tongue are numb.
The next part, however, is what
really scares a lot of people - how
much they are going to have to
pay for all that fear. A friend
estimated one day, after taking
his whole family for check-ups
and follow-up work, that his
dentist must make about $300 an
hour,
Not bad wages if you can get
them, although I doubt that
dentists make "quite" that much.
And then considering what
dentists have to go through and
what they have to put up with -
bitten fingers, bad breath, and
above all a lack of trust or
perhaps confidence by just
anyone in the community who
has ever gone to a dentist -
maybe they're not overpaid.
Come to think of it, dentists and
snakes are probably two of the
most discriminated against
groups in our "sophisticated"
society.
To rephrase an old simile,
"going to the dentist is like
pulling teeth."
1923 were given a reception and
dance by their family in honor of
their 50th wedding anniversary.
It was held in Erindale Com-
munity Hall, Mississauga. Many
of the guests were from the
Toronto area, and formerly from
Cambuslang. Mr. Brew's cousin
and wife from England and
friends from Chicago also at-
tended.
The couple immigrated to
Chicago in 1951 and after retiring
in 1967 they moved to Exeter,
They have three children, Mrs.
Frank (Barbara) Laird,
Mississauga; Mrs. Ann Kennedy,
Exeter; and James, Rexdale.
The couple also have seven
grandchildren and another
deceased.
They received many
congratulatory messages and
gifts.
