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..."

Having a tooth pulled...when I was about 8. The procedure itself went well, anaesthetic worked fine etc, and the dentist gave me a bit of cotton wool type stuff to hold on top of the new gap in my teeth to soak up any excess blood. So off I went in to the waiting room, tongue holding this thing in place, and my dad starts sorting everything out with the receptionist. Suddenly, I feel some fluid in my mouth. I panic for a few seconds, before telling my dad that something wasn't right. Those few seconds turned out to be a mistake, however, as they had allowed my mouth to fill up with quite a large amount of blood, which all splashed out when I began to speak. I was rushed back in to the dentist's room past several shocked onlookers, trying my best to cup the blood dribbling off my chin with my hands. I have no idea what caused this reaction, but I did get some Lego for being brave, so it wasn't all bad :)
