What are you supposed to look at when you're in the dentist's chair? Looking at the light is too bright. Looking at the ceiling is boring. Looking at the tools is sort of scary. Looking at the dentist's or the hygenist's face is just too weird (too close for comfort). Closing your eyes (necessary during drilling and stuff, but otherwise...) just makes me feel like I'm having a weird make out session.
A question to you, what do you look at?

The light. For all the reasons you've outlined, I consider it the least unpleasant option. Also, staring into the light pretty much blinds me to the other person's face, which somehow makes the strange inimacy of having a stranger put their hands in my mouth more tolerable.
a good dentist will supply dark red tinted "sun"glasses for the occasion.
