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..."

"Pain free dentistry"I had absolutely no fear of dentists until I was about 19 years old, when I got my wisdom teeth out.
The dentist promised that it would be absolutely pain free- I would be completely knocked out, wouldn't feel a thing. Yay, thinks I.
So, they gas me I feel very relaxed and close my eyes. This is good, thinks I. At first. Then I realized I was still thinking. And I could hear the dentist talking to the hygenist and the anasthetician. And I could DEFINETLY feel him poking around in my mouth and yanking on my tooth.
I tried to signal to them that I was still awake and could feel them trying to take my teeth, but I couldn't move so much as a muscle. The dentist, not realizing I was only unable to move but other than that full consious, proceeded with surgery. I had all four out at once, and they didn't go without a fight. Then they stitched the holes up, which I also felt.
When they were done and I regained the use of my body, I told the dentist I'd been awake and felt everything.
"No you didn't. See you in a week to get those stitches out!"
Thanks. Thanks a lot. Fucker.
