Advice needed Hi everyone, 1st time poster here. I am a life-long stutterer and I went to a new dentist today and noticed that he also stutters as well. I was fluent during the whole appt and at the end I went to say have a good day and I stuttered a bit. The dentist gave a nervous laugh and left the room. I think maybe he thought I was making fun of him. I have felt sick to my stomach ever since. If it were you, would you contact him ASAP to explain, let it go, or say something at the next appt? Thanks in advance.
