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..."

No it isn't bloody safe...I hate dentists.
I'm prepared to accept that there are great ones out there but I haven't met them. I've met bastards.
My first dentist was a friend of the family; despite this he was accused of performing unnecessary dental surgery on us, was even taken to court over this.
His favourite trick (when parents weren't around) was to perform dental surgery without either painkillers or anaesthetic. He told me, "I'll just count one-two-three-four-five and the pain will be over". That's not too long I thought, I can take the pain for that amount of time (yes, I was an idiot).
So he starts and he counts "Ooooooooonnnneeeee…………………twwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooo……." you get the idea. All the while the drill is whining, I can smell the burnt pottery aroma of my own tooth being drilled and I'm in utter agony. What a bastard.
I did throw up on him once which seemed fitting revenge. He also caused scandal in his social circle by dumping his wife for a younger model - he was actually the inspiration for the David Jason character in the sitcom 'Bit of a Do'.
And he was a bastard, have I mentioned that?
