Squitty mouth !
Sorry to repost from an old question, but it is sort of relevant......

Back in the late 80's when rabbitz was a dental nurse - One day Mrs Poundland brought her charming son to our surgery, insisiting that "Ee needs to see the Doctor straightaway 'is marf as rottid !!" After a poke about and surpressed gagging from both myself and dentist, he turns to the lady and calmly tells her that her darling son is suffering from pyorrhea (advanced gum disease). She replied with a totally straight face "Is that why 'is breff stinks o' shit then ?"

We nurses also used put the willies up (so to speak) the sort of gobshite patients that outwardly called dentists "butchers", by verbally referring to our lovely boss as
"Mr Dewhurst".

The first dentist I ever remember going to when I was but a wee one was actually called Mr Butcher - he was actually quite nice.
