I've been through a lot of heavy dental work. I've been in such chairs for hours, my jaw held open with metal apparatus, anesthetics working on me, drills and grinders making smoke, and all the while I'm required to remain still. Anyone that has experienced this has absolutely no question in their mind about the value of an elaborate, comfortable dentist's chair.
If anything they could be better. Larger, specifically. Some of us are tall and it seems the designers of these chairs are unaware that people can grow beyond 5'10".
- GordonS 5y agoI sat in a dentists chair in South America with my mouth held open for an entire working day once before, with a 1 hour break so the dentist could have lunch. Aside from that, I had another bad experience with a horrible dentist who refused to give me enough anesthesia. What a delightful man he was.... I hated going to the dentist before those experiences, so you can imagine how bad it is now - the sound of the tools, the burning smells, and the sensations against my teeth... makes me physically cringe thinking about it. When I'm in the chair I just completely tense us - it might as well be a bed of nails for all I care; actually, that might even help keep my mind off it :)
