I'm quite interested to hear any dentist tales, no matter how dark!
Let this be a thread for all and any dentist related capers.
I worked on an aboriginal settlement and one day this woman came in complaining of pain in her jaw and back of her head. She turned around and apparently her drunk aunt had stabbed her in her sleep with a butter knife, which was still sticking out.
I was training in Colombia last year and one of the guys I was assisting raised a flap but because the patient had no teeth and a very flat palate he sliced the shenopalatine artery and blood squirted across the room and hit the wall. It took 20 minutes to control the bleeding but we still performed sinus surgery.
Whenever a patient calls in late I always add 15 minutes to when they say they will arrive and I'm always right.
Young women never consider the length of their skirt when they attend the dentist. It is difficult when you look away from the curing light when all you have in front of you is cookie peeking from under their mini skirt. A girl the other day had stay classy tattooed high on her thigh. She wasn't really.
The spittoon is for you to rinse your mouth, not for clearing your throat and hock a loogy
Don't hand me your denture/broken tooth/spit cover whatever if I'm not wearing gloves. My receptionist doesn't want it dumped on her desk either.
No matter how much agony you are in, that tooth I told you needed to be fixed 3,6 or 12 months ago that has now broken is not an emergency. You made the decision to ignore me you so you can wait until Monday morning.
You hate dentist? I hate whinging cunts who don't tell anyone they have no money and want to organise a payment plan after I have spent 1hr getting you out of pain. You need food to live but no one ever walks to to check out with $200 of groceries and asks to pay it off $10/ week starting next month.
