When I had braces, the orthodontist had such a soothing demeanor that I drifted off like when they shampoo your hair at the hair salon.

The man had a little bit of that Bob Ross mojo.
"Now bite down for me please... thank you..."

Any chance this dentist is in the American South? And still in practice?

Alas, no. He was in the San Diego area, and this was about three decades ago.

I fell asleep once while during a teeth cleaning and the person doing it was pretty surprised. It had nothing to do with demeanor though, I closed my eyes because the light was annoying then I got bored.
