“feel completely helpless”? That dentist has got their hands near my mouth, the sharpest part of my body. If someone feels helpless, it’s not gonna be me. 😬😁
Now I’m wondering, do dentists get bitten? Obviously a normal person wouldn’t try to bite but there are some crazy people out there.
I’ve never intentionally bit a dentist, but I did accidentally do it (actually it was a hygienist) because I could feel a sneeze coming on and tried to get her hands out of my mouth by garbling words around her hands. When that didn’t work I tried to physically push her hands away only to be lectured that she was almost done and it would only be another 15 minut…SNEEZE!! I was then lectured that I should’ve told her to move her hands. Like I DID!!! I was pushing with all my strength and you resisted me because you thought I was a petulant child. She also embedded a hook so deep in my gums that it took a week before I couldn’t see the hole and then lectured me about the importance of flossing because apparently it only bled cause I didn’t floss. Still not sure how I was supposed to floss under my tongue though.
Your teeth are the only part of your skeleton that you clean.
Speak for yourself. I take mine out for a spring cleaning every year.
Don’t just clean the springs, gotta get the gears and pulleys too.
When I had braces, the orthodontist had such a soothing demeanor that I drifted off like when they shampoo your hair at the hair salon.
The man had a little bit of that Bob Ross mojo.
“Now bite down for me please… thank you…”Any chance this dentist is in the American South? And still in practice?
