When was the last dental work you had? What did you get done?


You know what I hate? Those goddam rubber dams they put in the mouth!

reply

Because you know the gimp will be coming out next.

I feel bad for the actor that is his most well-known role.

*at some luxury, fancy Hollywood Party*
"Yeah, I played the Gimp from 'Pulp Fiction'"

reply

You never know. In some circles you might be treated like a god.

reply

The creepy "circles" though that are into BSDM and kinky stuff like that. No thanks.....

He used to be married to Julia Sweeney. Not sure what's worse.

You need to floss more .

Hey screw you I’m an adult I’ll floss if I feel like . If I don’t floss isn’t that better for your business ?

reply

Just had a teeth cleaning and they said everything was good (as usual) because I keep my shit tight.

I had my check up last week.

The dentist went dink-dink-dink with the pointy thing on my teeth and said, “All good”.

Then I saw the Hygienist and she went wooshy-wooshy-wooshy with the sonic thingy and said, “All good”.

I did not get a lollipop 🍭☹️

reply

You paid for those 10 seconds?

reply

Yes, but I’m more upset about the lack of lollipops 🍭

reply

Perhaps the dentists have realised the irony of handing out lollipops

reply

I demand irony!

reply

There are sugar free lollipops available but they taste nasty.

reply

Still a bad message though innit?

like the candy cigarettes they used to sell when i was a kid

reply

That sounds like a typical dental appointment. The majority of the time is spent in the waiting room, and then with the hygienist. The dentist makes a cameo appearance at the end.

reply

And then it at the end when I tap and go with my credit card 🫠

reply

At the clinic I go to, the payment process is handled at the front desk. The dentist doesn't show up for that.

reply

Me too - I was adding to the ‘time spent’ theme. IE, more time spent waiting and paying than actually having any work done, lol.

reply

Okay... I get what you're saying now.

You're at a dental clinic and the least amount of time is spent with the actual dentist.

That's some of the irony you demanded above.

reply

Be careful what you wish for, eh?

reply

I still had 3 of my wisdom tooth, but I had an emergency surgery where one had to come out. Now I'm down to two. I hate the weird taste of the spray thingy they use, but everything else doesn't really bother me, not even the pain of the needle when they inject your gum with an anesthetic.

reply

I had an appointment a couple of weeks ago. Had x-rays, scaling, and polishing. Then the dentist popped in an told me I had good teeth with no issues.

reply

I had horrible teeth issues as a kid. Multiple root canals. I got so frustrated because I would make an extra effort to take care of my teeth, but still kept having problems. They'd always find something wrong. Looking back, part of me thinks they were scamming us.

Anyways, I got so frustrated that I just stopped going once I became an adult. I didn't go to a dentist for, I'm not kidding, 10 years. A few years back, I decided I'd better go in for at least a checkup and a cleaning. So I found a new dentist, went in and they said everything looked great. I was shocked. How is that possible??

I haven't been back to a dentist now since then, and I don't plan on going back unless something starts hurting. My teeth are white and look fine.

I don't trust those bastards.

"What do you call someone who didn't get into med school? A dentist!"

reply

What do you call a student who did not get into a US med school?

A Mexican med school student.

reply

Lol. Touche.

reply

i had my regular cleaning and checkup last week. no major problems which is a good thing. my long time dentist retired during covid and the new guy was fine.
