I am glad to hear about your experience in dental office. Surely it is the hype that has created so much fear among the common people towards dentists. The dentists are seen no less than monsters i guess, “ruthless with so many poky things putting into your mouth”. I can assure you we are just like normal people.
This fear just keeps the people away from the dental offices. However when they actually undergo the dental procedure due to some unavoidable reasons (😖), they realise just like what you observed “IT WAS NOT THAT BAD AFTER ALL.”

P.S. About The Sound of Drill, well that is annoying but that is not a reason to ignore your oral health. Also, there are some Laser cutting drills which don’t humm so much.
