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..."

black and proudI am a dentist. As with many of my race, I am relatively under-represented in this field and I occasionally experience mild racism from small-minded and arrogant morons.
The other day, for instance, there was one young man who seemed utterly stunned to discover that his new dentist was a black woman with a West Indian accent. I could quite easily cause more pain than necessary while he is in the chair, but only an unprofessional and petty-minded fool would do such a thing. So I just do my job.
Besides, he's such a little crybaby that the procedures seem painful enough as it is.
