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..."

The wonders of the NHSI too also had awful 'mongus' teeth, and at the tender age of 12 had to have a NHS brace (ie. big and dark like an oh-so industrial looking dark and big thing). When the refurbishments were fininshed the dentist proudly looked on and commented at the good job he'd done - and he had.
But he never sorted out a retaining device so over the years they slowly drifted apart like so many turds in a duck pond.
After spending a long time as a skint student with wonky teeth and zero self confidence I finally got them all straightened again at a private dentist, who has sorted out a retainer for both sets.
Moral of the story - Kids, don't let your NHS dentist forget about the retainer it'll ruin your life.
god that's a shit story - sorry.
