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..."

I have no wisdom..teeth anymore as around a year ago I had to go have the lot out. Not much of a story, except it was probably the most traumatic experience of my life. Woke up with a nosebleed but so doped up, I was pain free.. until a few hours later when they'd shipped me out of there with tablets to free up a bed. Couldn't stop vomiting, a mixture of stitches & blood, & my face looked like I'd gone ten rounds with Tyson - & he'd won by strangulation. Couldn't take the pills, couldnt eat soup, not even baby food..I went around 48 hours without even keeping water down - but such is my fear of needles & drips, I clung to the sink so motherbox wouldn't drag me to A&E.
No punchline, just that my suffering was such that I swear to god, I wish they'd just left me the fuck alone; my teeth weren't even that bad! I'm still not really at the end of it all - they didnt take out the tooth that was stuck in the jaw, so that had a chain on.. came up on the side of my gum, & now I have metalworks in the back left side of my mouth..
I'm refusing to wear the elastics as a protest..
Length? If I ever bed a dentist, I'LL BITE IT OFF!
