It is ill-advised to spite your dentist soon before they get to work with sharp objects inside your mouth (or anyone, really).

- scott_s 14y agoHe didn't "spite" his dentist. He wanted her to explain the risks of the procedure - which I think is reasonable.
- WiseWeasel 14y agoMaybe he didn't ask in the most tactful manner.
- scott_s 14y agoSure, that's possible. But you have no evidence for it, and I find it (cough) rude to assume so, and then criticize him for it.
- WiseWeasel 14y agoI merely bring up the possibility, and do not disagree with your point. I might also add that it is rude to assume the dentist acted inappropriately. In any case, we have very little information to work with. As a rule of thumb, however, the wise one treads carefully when dealing with someone who is about to have her in a particularly vulnerable position.
