That's great. Wouldn't want you laughing during dental work.

Only mall dentists put up shitty art for you to stare at.

Also, what's with the porn avatar? i've seen that seen many times before.

Makes sense; if they showed you something funny you might laugh and screw up their intricate work.

Zingers aside, yes my dentist does this and it's awesome. It's pretty great to have something besides the fact that they're fucking around inside my mouth to think about. To this day I've never been offered nitrous oxide so I guess this is kind of the replacement.

Huh, I get to stair at the ceiling with a paining of the beach and listen to easy listening soft rock while my teeth and gums are being poked and prodded.

My dentist allows you to watch DVDs of your choice. I go with documentaries, to avoid laughing while they work.

I had a dentist that did this but unfortunately the TV was on that channel with all the real estate and house flipping shows.

Mine has TVs and massagers built into the chair that run the whole time you are getting worked on.

But I usually go when there is nothing on but horrible daytime TV so I don't watch anything.

My dentist starting doing this 15-ish years ago. Can't quite remember exactly, but it was a while ago. It was cool at first, but honestly just felt like more of a hassle after a while and now I don't use it.

Yeah, but I stick to sports/highlights because who wants to laugh with dental tools in your mouth? Our dentist also does Saturday appointments, which is better than taking off work.

I should've continued watching The Punisher season 1 but I forget what episode I'm on and I didn't wanna test the hygienists patience trying to scrub through eps

I bet there's someone out there who watched This Is Us at the dentist and had an existential crisis/crying meltdown while getting a root canal

I wouldn't call it "crazy shit." My dentist gives me free treatment, which I would argue is a crazy good deal. It's the NHS and because of various factors (primarily age) the ÂŁ20.60 charge per session is waived.

Usually my dentists have a radio show in the background. It's not that bad.

My dentist forces me to watch HGTV.
Edit: Not really, she usually asks me what I want to watch. I usually don't care, but HGTV is on.

I remember my dentist offering to turn on the TV and realizing that a Republican Primary Debate was on at the same time. Suddenly the trip to the dentist did not seem so bad.

I think being stuck at the dentist and forced to watch the republican primary debate would be my version of hell.

My dentist's office pumps me full of laughing gas each time and has a TV screen hanging from the ceiling to let me watch.

It rules (I was freaking out one time though because of a Twilight Zone episode playing)
