No one likes going to the doctor, that’s just a fact of life. It’s as true as the truest thing you know. It has been my experience that doctors are very aware of this and try to do what they can to make people feel more comfortable.
The best way to do that? With some humor, for sure. I know having someone who is fun to talk to really helps to distract my mind from whatever terribleness is going to come.

This dentist has a good sense of humor, though, and I bet that his tooth fairy costume is equally as amusing for children and parents alike. I know that I would laugh.
