There is absolutely no point in lying to your dentist. Specialists who have been dealing with patients for years know when they are lying.

Here what patients usually say:

1. “It’s not painful.”
If the procedure is painful, you can hardly hide it. Even if you say that it does not hurt, your body shows the opposite. Your eyes clench shut and your legs tighten. Your whole body demonstrates that you are trying to defend yourself.

2. “I almost never drink soda.”
Acidic drinks damage the protective coat of the tooth enamel. The enamel can also be damaged by the acids that you consume with foods like lemons, kiwi and tomatoes. If you like soda and citrus fruits you can hardly hide it from your dentist.
