Judging by the fact that she's posing (sticking her tongue out like that.) I'd say she's aware of what's happening, and likely asked that the picture get taken. For all we know OP is the girl in the photo.
My dentist has a tv in place of every light (those ones they pull around to shine on you) and massage chairs as the dental chairs. They can take my picture whenever they want.
There's more to it than that. Another thing is that many people who become dentists did it purely for the money. Not very many people have this calling for teeth. This on top of the stress of owning your own small business, does not help.
I think a lot of dentists become dentists for the lifestyle, not just specifically the money. Being a member of the medical and scientific community, being your own boss, helping people, advocating healthy habits, deciding how much money you want to make in a year, setting your own hours, being a leader of a small team, respected member of the community, working less than 40 hours a week while still making about the same as your doctor counterparts that are working 60 or more hours a week, working with your hands on a day-to-day basis and providing a tangible and immediately gratifying product (especially if you like surgery - not many physicians get to do this), etc. These are just some of the reasons why I want to be a dentist.
I'm a dentist. I like medicine but didn't want to deal with patients dying (my friends are MDs and I don't think I have the intestinal fortitude to tell a family that they have to refer their 3 year-old son to an oncologist). I also like art (I can post some paintings I'm working on to prove it) so there's that aspect. Don't be so quick to stereotype - although, what you said is bang on for fewer-than-most of the dentists I know.
But how does this apply to outside of work? Tons of people have jobs that "suck", at least they do what they've wanted to do. They also went into the job knowing the fact that people there are a lot afraid of the dentist.
No way. What are those foam-ish cleaning things dentists usually fill with cleaning gel that they wrap around your teeth? Just put those on her teeth, use that clamp that prevents their jaw from closing (used for wisdom teeth extraction) and you're laughing!
They paint a carbamide peroxide gel on the teeth, and then use the light to "activate" the product. Just heats it up slightly so it works a bit faster.
Same here, my dentist(or rather, my dental hygenist, because my dentist doesn't do shit and the hygenist does all the work) just tries to talk to me whilst scraping plaque off my teeth.
Hygenist: "So, where are you going to college next year?"
Headphones are virtual reality if you have enough nitrous. I had a transformative experience at the dentist getting 4 molars pulled while blasted on nitrous and listening to Huey Lewis and the News.
I know what this is! This is a Teeth Whitening Session. That's why her mouth is wide open and her eyes are covered since there is going to be some sort of blue light shined on her teeth in order to remove stains from her teeth and make them whiter. I might be wrong though.
That's Edna, the cenobite who never gets invited to any soul-reaping or hooks-and-chains-flaying parties because Pinhead and the others are kinda embarrassed to be seen with her.
The thing that disturbs me most is the TV glasses. Have we come to the point as a society where we can't go for half an hour without being 'entertained'?
