Dentist at Work

My dentist agreed for me to take his photo (as long as I showed it to him) and so I thought it was a good idea to capture him together with my X rays. He and I have had a love-hate relationship for almost 30 years now. I’m glad we met when he was young as I won’t have to start again with anyone I don’t know given my fear of ‘going to the dentist.’
Great shot

So lucky with his agreement, my dentist would have pulled my good teeth out

Your Xray looks as though you are smiling at him,

Nicely done! Does he know you made him famous all over the world? =)

@marlboromaam - thank you, I did tell him about 365 but I didn’t tell him how far reaching it is. That said, he was happy to wear his very strange looking microscopic glasses

@rensala LOL! Tell him the next time you go. =)

love this. I too have a love hate relationship with my dentist. Especially this month since I have to have a root canal. Great shot of the experience.

Fabulous idea and shot, he doesn't really look that old ;-)

I've often thought if taking my dentists photo, never done it though . Respect Renee

I don’t think anyone really likes to go to the dentist. Nice candid, though possibly posed.

@carole_sandford you are right - I could get him to relax and be natural - not in his nature me thinks

@phil_howcroft thank you - now you’ll do it I think

@ludwigsdiana he’s 60 but looks great on it

@lisab514 oohhh lots of empathy coming your way - I had one done in December.

Very natural looking shot. Great that you have that relationship with him

Great shot! I totally understand fear of the dentist- I suffer it as well!

Congratulations, this must be a first for a 365 subject!!!

Intriguing photo…..man at work! Not the nicest of appointments but you obviously have a good long standing professional relationship.

So good that you included your dentist.

Good shot of the dentist with your X-rays. Hope your exam was good.

The only thing I liked about the dentist when I was young were the children's magazines he had in the waiting room. I had very soft teeth, and ate lots of sweet things. Even with brushing I still got a lot of cavities and that dentist was rough when it came to filling them. Even the hygenist was a bit on the nasty side! It was years later when I finally found a gentle one I could manage to sit through but even then I got really nervous~ and then he retired!!! It was only when a filling fell out a few months ago and took part of the tooth with it that I finally found another- right next door to where I work and thankfully he's wonderful! It sounds like you have a good one too and your teeth seem healthy to me- so breathe a sigh of relief! good shot!

@olivetreeann - there’s no doubt that our our experiences are very much shaped by the kindnesses we are shown - I’m glad you’ve finally found a good and kind one

Nice shot! The only place I dread going
September 7th, 2023  
Great shot. I prefer not to talk about the dentist.
