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..."

Root CanalsHi Farking HATE the dentist - phobia since i was a kid, had to have my first six or so fillings done under general anesthetic along with several teeth pulled and other nasty stuff. Getting better now, but still hate fillings - then i was told I had to have the dreaded root canal. My dentist is v v nice and explains everything, and told me that it would be done in one sitting (woot) instead of two and i only had to have an injection in my gum - not the roof of my mouth (ouch!) as well like they used to. Also - they do it a v cool way somehow with a plastic cover over the hole while they work on it, therefore reducing infection rate by 40% or so (most ppl have to hav them redone because of infection apparently) So I was quite a happy bunny considering what could of happened.
And it was the NHS as well. :)
PLUS my friend goes to a posh private dentist and had a root canal and had to have it redone cause they farked it up the first time - lol.
