DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

The ButcherI was living in Eastern Europe while my baby teeth were falling out. The country was under communist rule at the time, so we had a dentist at school.
I went to see her with a tooth that was ready to come out, but she yanked the wrong one in her eagerness to help me. She scooted me out of the chair and told me to be on my way. Still in shock, I started walking out and finally had the courage to tell her that she removed the wrong one. She walked over to me, grabbing the pliers on her way, and asked me which one was hurting. I pointed to the proper tooth and she yanked it out while I stood in the doorway. No anestetic and no gauze to stop the bleeding for either tooth.
What a butcher.
