My dentist and I had an understanding.
I’d put in headphones and listen to a book with sunglasses on, and pretend he wasn’t there unless I needed something, and he would shut up, do his job, and pretend I wasn’t there unless he needed me to do something. It was a good system.
But the takeaway here is you can totally wear sunglasses at the dentist and avoid that problem entirely. Also nicer on your eyes. They don’t care. It’s awkward af for them too.
yooooo, I’m totally doing that from now on. thank you!!
Super happy to help, friend!
It was game-changing when I realized I could just… wear sunglasses whenever I like (within reason) as long as I can still see.
My dentist gives us tinted eye protection which I think helps they also have a TV on the ceiling they they on sometimes I can stare at.
