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..."

more edinburgh dental hospital ...also in the 1990s ... needed two wisdom teeth removed and my dentist (someone old school sexists would describe as a "wee slip o a lassie") was incapable of pulling deep-seated roots from my head ... in the waiting room atthe dental hospital was surprised to see that all other patients had 'minders' (for the anaethetic) so when i went in they were surprised ... "on your own? we'll have to give you a local" ... dental student took 45 mins of hauling at back of my mouth to remove one tooth, break another (leaving a portion of the widsom tooth stuck in me) and sever a nerve (still have no feeling at back left of mouth) ... couldn't open my gob for two days ... dental hospital is now a bar & cafe called beluga ... still gives me a crick in my neck
