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..."

Dentists are fun...About a year back, I was told I'd needed two fillings. One on each side of my mouth. "No problem" methinks.
So, after a few weeks, I finally get numbed up, wait a few minutes until I'm called in again.
He drills the left side of my mouth through, fills the gap, no pain. Then he goes for the right side. At this point, I realise this side wasn't completely numb. I tried to tell him not to go near me with that drill, but it's a bit difficult with tools in your mouth (shut up, immature people). So he drills anyway, it hurts a lot, fills it in, blah blah.
Some time later, he left and I got a new dentist. He's Jamaican. Even though I know full well that both my fillings have been knocked out and parts of my tooth chipped in the process, he still insists my teeth are fine. They don't feel fine. Maybe that's how they do things in Jamaica...
I'm surprised my teeth lasted that long. I hardly brush (three times a year, perhaps).
