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..."

My mother once heard me screaming in the dentist's chair.I was 8, and under general anaesthetic for an extraction. She was in the waiting room.
She casually mentioned the screams to me years later, having done nothing at the time. I didn't know anything about it.
In those days, anyone in a white coat was God so whatever they were doing to her unconscious daughter must have been OK.
It still haunts me a little that she heard me screaming but didn't even think to ask what had happened.
