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..."

Dodgy bastardI'm lucky that my current dentist back home is one of my old school mates. So if he fucks up, I know where he lives.
My first dentist was a dodgy character, though. Every week, he had a clinic where kids were sat down, anaesthatised with gas (now regarded as bloody risky) and had various baby teeth removed.
Personally, I had about 8+ teeth removed by this guy. All fine and hunky dory. Knockout gas, wakey-wakey, blood everywhere, sweeties from mum for being brave.
We found out after we moved away that he was taken to court and stripped of his license to practice. It turns out that about 75% of the extractions he did weren't required - he was doing them as he got a cash handout from the NHS for each one.
Fucker.
