Question:
Can anyone describe that dentist office smell?
I was trying to describe the entire experience to a friend, from the way an office looks to the smells. She's from another country so it's not like she can just come to one here in the U.S. and she's never been to one in her country either!
Answers:
Cloves plus disinfectant plus rubber plus bad breath plus burning tooth enamel = the smell of a dentist's office - BLEAH!!!!
Maybe some ingenious person who knows about the chemistry of scents should invent something to mask the smell. Odor is probably the single most powerful memory trigger we have; if we smell something while having a bad experience (like dental pain...), smelling that odor again is going to give us a negative "echo." What do you think? :-)
