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..."

Who knows best??I had a tooth with a filling in it that had been a root canal some years earlier.... One day eating a sandwich the filling came out, this left two halves of the tooth with a big gap in the middle, most annoying. After a short while the one half became loose.... Not happy with this I set about it with a pair of pen knife pliers and some strongbow. Much blood and pain ensued, but the half of tooth came out. I then went to my dentist to have the other half out, but due to being a haemophiliac the dentist said I would have to go to the dental hospital.
So I duly made my appointment and went, the 'student' that tried first just broke the other half of the tooth, which lead to an infection and much pain, I then went back to have somebody root around for an hour with no joy, and went back a further two times before finally seeing a dentist consultant that just wiped the last bit out no problem.... But on reflection I would have been better off with my pliers and strongbow!!!!
