Plenty of people avoid the dentist forseemingly having a mean attitude.
They are not friendly towards you. They giveinstructions with harsh voices and make youfeel like a child.

Many people have found shortcomings withthe clinic itself. They dont like the look of it, or
the sight of dental chair/instruments makesthem feel nervous. A few people said theyhate thesmell of the dentists office.

Preachy dentists can be quite a pain too.
They ask you how you have been doingwith your dental hygiene andimmediately start scrutinizing you if youhavent been good.
They scold you for your bad habits andgive you thelesson.
