| Yep! Dentists are funny that way sometimes. One thing to keep well in mind when going to the dentist's office is that they are human beings and carry all the emotional baggage that all human beings do. Higher education, unfortunately, doesn't provide 100% imunity against inferiority complexes, bigotry, bad moods, or even sadism.
Here are some things not to do at the Dentist's office in order to minimize risk of ticking him or her off:
1. If a foreigner don't ask where he or she is from. Treat them as if you don't notice.
Nobody likes to be reminded that they stand out that way.
2. Don't speak loudly in the waiting room-sound carries and it might break his concentration-or simply provoke an involuntary territorial protection tendency.
3. Don't become overly familiar. They might see it as an insult based on your lower opinion of them within the doctoral hierarchy. If the dentist is female, she might take it as a come on or as male chauvinism and get her point across with the drill.
4. Treat assistants with kid gloves. Otherwise the assistant might imagine an insult, begin to pout, and the dentist, who might also be her good friend, might pass judgment -- get angry and insult you while you are under the drill as happened to me.
5. If you feel the least bit uncomfortable immediately go to another dentist. Otherwise you are playing Russian Roulette.
