Results for How people feel waiting in a Dentist?


On Friday 16th March i spent 1 hour in a dentist waiting room, my sister had an appointment and i went with her and i handed out a sheet with this question on it......

Give 3 words that sum up how you are feeling now whilst waiting for the dentist..... And why (optional).....


Person 1) Relaxed, Slightly Nervous

(i know i have to be here, i am not waisting my time and i don't have the feeling that i have to be somewhere else) ---- This person gave only 2 words


Person 2) Worried, Anxious, Tired

(how many fillings am i going to have to get this time?)


Person 3) Nervous, Scared, Worried

(Round two of my root canal this is going to hurt!)


Person 4 - my sister) Worried, Annoyed, Anxious

(How much is this going to cost me? And why are my teeth so weak? i have never been a big sweet eater and rarely drink fizzy drinks, can't wait til this is over with!)

Person 5) Fine -- this is all the person said


Person 6) Terrified, Scared, Upset


So in the space of time i was there, there was only 6 people so these are the results from them.
I am quite happy with the results i got as a lot of the words, reflect how i feel in the same environment so i can completely empathize with these people.
The feelings which i have chosen to work with are;

  • Nervous
  • Worried

as i think that they are common amongst a lot of people waiting in a dentistry.
