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.
