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..."

Tormenting patientsHave many "hilarious" tales from my days a dental nurse/hygienist. My favourite was when I worked for Mr Sims (the best dentist in the world with a sense of humour to match - in the summer he used to suck irritating flies fresh from the air down the spitoon).Anyway, one day a poor old fella who'd not been to the dentist in about forty years and had three teeth left wandered into the surgery in utter agony and was literally messing himself with the fear. Says he "ah know ah'v gotta 'av em out Sir, but yer'll not 'urt me will yer ? Me last dentist were a BUTCHER !!! YER NOT A BUTCHER ARE YER !!!!???"
Quick a flash my nurse-in-crime Britt pipes up "Now tell him the truth Mr Dewhurst...."
Oh and the day another trainee hygienist ran screaming from the surgery yelping that the "roof off his mouth fell off !!!" - she had attempted a full scale and polish with squirty water jet de-scaler before the patient had taken their partial dentures out.
Many many more tales to come....
