Should I listen to music awhile at the dentist?!

Question: Should I listen to music awhile at the dentist?

Alright, The dentist here is coming sometime in this month, I have like 3 teeny tiny cavities, and possibly one medium cavity on my upper tooth. I always end up getting my teeth pulled everytime I go to the dentist, and Its not that really bad, I'm use to it, but I REALLY end the drilling noises, I am 11 years old and I got an Ipod for Christmas. I still need to put songs on there. My dentist appointment got canceled last month cause of that stupid chair guy who doesn't really know how to spell names. Well atleast I'm not the only one who got canceled; There's other people's appointments got canceled too. I'm really fine with the dentist, But I really hate the drilling noises. Should I listen to my Ipod awhile at the dentist? I'll tell my mom all about it possibly tomorrow And I brush my teeth every day, 2-3 hours a day too, Just in case.

~~ Much Appreciated. :)

Answers:

Sure take your iPod and listen to music. It will take your mind off of everything going on around you.

Hi again, okay it is perfectly acceptable to listen to music whilst at the dentist. I would recommend it to everyone. If you are being sedated then you cannot listen to music as this stops you from getting to a sedated state as your brain is excited with the music but if you are just getting numbed up then take your new ipod with you. If the dentist needs your attention then he will tap your shoulder.

thats very nice that you can listen to the music while your dentist works on your teeth.
music does keep the mind away from the procedure.
i hope you were my patient and we both could listen to the music together.

Do it. So much nicer.
