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..."

My dentist criedwhen she saw the state of the abscess caused by an combination of a impacted wisdom tooth and an errant shard of Christmas eve peanut.
She had a rant about Salfords Hope hospital continually cancelling appointments to remove said impacted wisdom teeth over a period of 2 years.
At the end of this rant the tears started to flow and she was whispering 'bastards, bastards, bastards'.
She got me an appointment for removal quite quickly after that though.
When the abscess burst it felt like my whole mouth was full, that was nice.
Oh aye, my flatmate did his work experience with a dentist years back. He tells me the Dentist was extracting a tooth using gas when he went, 'Oh dear', as he'd pulled the wrong one. He swore my flatmate and the nurse to secrecy then pulled the proper tooth.
He later told the woman that he'd found the neighboring tooth was rotten... charged her for it too.
