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..."

This isn't going to hurtReally. I was 7. It will. A lot.
I did some unintentional DIY dentistry when I was 7 when my face met ice at speed, cracked a front tooth and had to have it removed.
The psycho evil Catholic school where I went at the time decided, eventually, that perhaps I ought to see the dentist. Evil psycho nun takes me to the nutter dentist who observes that he can't fix it and it needs to come out.
He assures me that it won't hurt. Bastard f*cking liar, I was in a world o' pain. And 7 year olds feel pain man - you weren't there man!! Heh heh.
Anyhoo, I spent the next 11 years with a plastic false tooth and since it was my front one and I was a child, I was forever breaking it or losing it... And having the piss taken out of me (I don't really understand why) - even had it nicked once (WTF??)
(Trauma..... And breathe)
Cue my 18th birthday and I was told that I could now have a bridge - hooray - no more false tooth :-)
Then the dentist explained the procedure - the filing down of the 2 teeth either side and a bridge put across. No big deal - "It won't hurt a bit".
Ha ha ha - Actually, it didn't hurt - the drugs worked ok :-) However when the drill wondered onto a different tooth, that was when it bloody hurt!
I now have a nice bridge that occasionally sets off metal detectors (not big nor clever) and acts like a sodding barometer - cold, damp, iffy weather makes my face hurt.
I don't mind the dentist really.
Length - Oh yes :-)
