Things You Don’t Want to Hear at the Dentist
October 29th, 2008
Having just had a dentist appointment last week for the usual 6-month checkup, I was inspired to write the following list of things you hope you don’t hear at the dentist’s office:
- “Hmmmm… these x-rays look a little odd. Oh wait, I had them upside down…”
- “You do have good dental insurance, don’t you?”
- “I am so hung-over….”
- “I wish I could afford a new drill bit. This one is just so dull and rusty…”
- “What do you mean we’re out of novocaine?”
- “Sure, I’m planning to use gas…. just not on you.”
- “Have I ever told you how much I enjoy garlic and onion sandwiches?”
- “Sterilization? That’s for wimps.”
- “New Mercedes, here I come…”
- “When you wake up, you may find some of your clothing missing. That’s completely normal.”
- “Mind if I film this session for a medical journal?”
- “Hope your day’s going better than mine. My spouse just left me for someone who looks…. like YOU!”
- “Let’s have a look at those teeth… Cha-ching!”
- “License to practice? What’s that?”
- “Front desk? You’d better cancel my other appointments for today.”
- “This is a self-serve dentist. Just let me know when you’re finished.”
