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..."

Insane pain membraneA few years back I got an infection in the nerve root under one of my upper molars. The nerve swole up like a football and pretty soon my work colleagues were refering to me as 'bumface' to add to my discomfort. I attend the dentist who has a look and does a lot of tutting and says he can't do anything until the infection has cleared up. Oh goody, a course of antibiotics, that's really gonna help. Given the extreme pain involved in having a tiny wee nerve swell up to the size of a tennis ball I beg, cajole, and threaten the medico to 'do something'. Cue more humming and hawing and eventually he suggests drilling through the tooth to the nerve so that it can drain and relieve the pressure. At this stage I'm suffering so badly I'll agree to anything, so then - and only then - does he tell me that he can't use any anaesthetic cause the nerve is too fucked.
So next he's drilling straight through the molar into the roots and the nerve. Without doubt the most painful experience ever, only to be followed by the sudden evacuation of a pint or so of 'pus-sy gunk' from the infected nerve.
Nasty,nasty,nasty...
