Mine has a very spa-like office. I can watch the Today show in peace and I usually take him up on the complimentary laughing gas. :silly:<br /> Oh and my insurance covers 100%. My teeth are decent so I'd like to keep them that way!</p> <p>But I get super nervous at the Gyno's office. My hands get clammy and I feel super uncomfortable during annual exams. It's also next to a hospital in a not-so-great area. There's never any parking and I typically owe a good amount of $$$ (post babies and post MC). :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist/page/2#post-2542711 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:53:20 +0000 misolee 2542711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the dentist </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist/page/2#post-2542695 Thu, 05 May 2016 20:27:33 +0000 cat620 2542695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the dentist.

My dentist is my best friend so it's just one big gossip session. Well, as much as one can talk while at the dentist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist/page/2#post-2541927 Thu, 05 May 2016 09:28:59 +0000 IRunForFun 2541927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Same exact answer. The gyno doesn't bother me at all. I like mine a lot and it's always quick and I've never really found it uncomfortable. The dentist, however, ugh. I have such bad TMJ that I can barely make it through a cleaning. Holding my jaw open for that long is torture. It's so painful my eyes water and we have to take frequent breaks so I can rest. It's the worst. Plus I'm not a fan of all the scraping and poking but the TMJ just makes it a nightmare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist/page/2#post-2541898 Thu, 05 May 2016 08:46:43 +0000 macintosh 2541898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dentist, as long as there's no drilling involved.

Not even slightly. The dentist on the other hand… I have TMJ so even just having my teeth cleaned, with my mouth propped open, is enough to set my jaw alignment off and screw everything up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541815 Thu, 05 May 2016 07:39:04 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2541815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I much prefer the dentist! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541808 Thu, 05 May 2016 07:35:04 +0000 fancyfunction 2541808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dentist hands down!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541772 Thu, 05 May 2016 06:56:44 +0000 Adira 2541772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I go so often because I skipped out for a couple years and now have the beginnings of periodontal disease. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541439 Wed, 04 May 2016 18:06:22 +0000 YouGotMe 2541439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gyno! </p> <p>Only because that never costs me any money where as the dentist does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541436 Wed, 04 May 2016 18:03:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2541436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Caly: LOL, it's really not that bad at all. My teeth don't really have a chance to get gunky. My hygenist knows my likes and dislikes when it comes to the cleaning, so it's really relaxing. Plus we never run out of spare toothbrushes for overnight guests!</p> <p>@Adira: I go so often because I had braces as an adult. What about you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541417 Wed, 04 May 2016 17:05:18 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2541417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OBGYN, but only because I super love my OB. He makes the whole process so chill that I don't really mind, and he's really funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541404 Wed, 04 May 2016 16:54:52 +0000 NavyRN2012 2541404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I disagree about the cleaning being harmless. While it's totally my fault because I'm a terrible flosser, the cleaning is miserable. They scrape and dig and my mouth hurts for days after! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541345 Wed, 04 May 2016 16:03:12 +0000 DillonLion 2541345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Caly: Ugh, no I don't want to scoot down. I want to scoot up and away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541330 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:53:45 +0000 josina 2541330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: the sound of the drill is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I hate most when they floss and poke along my gum line. HURTS and usually bleeds and my gums are sore for hours after. (It may be my own fault since I don't floss often enough).<br /> Plus I just don't like anyone that close to my face with the bright lights. Ugh. Awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541323 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:51:14 +0000 Caly 2541323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: the spreading! :silly:<br /> I'll never forget when someone told me years ago that "when they tell you to scoot down, really scoot down!" Ever since then, I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541309 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:36:08 +0000 winniebee 2541309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541304 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:32:25 +0000 DillonLion 2541304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: Haha, mine always mentions that mine is so long.

So, gyno... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rathergynecologist-or-dentist#post-2541295 Wed, 04 May 2016 15:27:39 +0000 PawPrints 2541295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really get what people dislike about the dentist. Is it the fear that they'll find a cavity and you'll have to get a root canal/filling/whatever? The cleaning itself is harmless, to me. Definitely dentist. </p>
