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..."

Haggling over the priceI recently managed to get signed up with an NHS dentist. I had the first check up of about 3 years and unsurprisingly needed a filling.
On the day of the filling I thought I'd best double check that I was getting a white one.
"A white one? Well they take longer, you should have booked a longer appointment!".
Like I know how long a filling takes? Also if this polish lady really was a dentist surely she could spot that ALL my existing fillings are white so I might want this one to be white?
Then I'm told the NHS won't pay for white fillings... It'll cost me £65.
I'm a bit of a miser with money....
"What if I don't have the anaesthetic?"
Down to £50.
"Surely it's only a small filling? You'll save time compared to a big one..."
Deal done at £40.
Who needs anaesthetic when you're staring down the cleavage of a 25 year old blonde dentist?
