This is a question Dentists

My 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..."

a dentist told me a secret
The last dentist I went to (~8 years ago) was commenting on my very healthy teeth, and I said something along the lines of, well I do brush regularly.

That's when he told me that dental problems are caused by genetics, and brushing actually doesn't have much to do with it. But it does freshen your breath.

Meanwhile, I'm over 30, never had braces, have no cavities, wisdom teeth are doing just fine, and I see no reason to go to a dentist whatsoever. You may feel free to be jealous.
