As a matter of fact, yes!

I had to have a filling, which was bad enough, but my dentist had a button
up tunic on with these big blue plastic buttons. That was ok, I didn't have
to look at them while I was laid there. Unfortunately though, my filling was
to a wisdom tooth so he was scooted right up to me to get at it. So there
were his buttons pressing into the top of my head....Forget the filling, the
buttons have put me (even more) off dentists! At least it took my mind of
the actual filling though.
