Dentists are not my favourite places to be.
-
Had a filling fall out, so went to see the Dentist. It had been a while, so I got told off. Then he did the inspection and decided that not only was the filling to be replaced, but it needed root canal work first, plus there were some other fillings needed to be replaced. Also, he advised a crown and took an x-ray and gave me a basic cleaning. So far the bill is circa £1000, but he did give me an offer on a course of whitening (about £200). (I am in the wrong game, Dentistry is where the money is!) Anyway, I am sitting here like I have had a stroke, left hand side of my face completely numb, I know there will be pain soon, and I am £200 poorer from today's installment of the bill. However, he is an excellent dentist (at those prices he better be), and I hope to have some real nice gleaming gnashers by the end of June.

Just have him remove all your teeth and you'll never have to go to the dentist again, think of the money you'll save!

£1000 POUND!!! You could get a whole new head for that sort of money
I may or may not be responsible for my own actions
Yes, but then there is the cost of reinstalling all that I have learned over the last 44 years. I haven't been making backups.

My dentist very, very rarely uses any anesthetic. You may go arrjhhhhhh!!! and RLF, but wait. She avoids the drill. I lost a filling a year back. She X-rayed my gob and following a sharp reverse wistle, the one mechanics use before warning of the expensive work, said that I might need root work. After I regained consciousness, she said that she wouldn't try that yet. Instead she cleaned the hole out manually - drilling is quicker but just takes away good tooth - and filled it. Then a few weeks later she re-X-rayed and decided that that the root work was not needed. 90% of the time, if there is no pain then root work is performed as precaution because they can't be arsed to re-check and because they can save time and make more money. Find a really good dentist, one who agrees to a 'no-drill' rule, and you'll be happy to spend two hours in the chair. I know I am.

A dentist MUST be male... ALWAYS... Then you can grab him from his b---- just before start, stare him at his eyes and ask "Will do we get harmed?"... :thumbsup:

I think I read about that, but they weren't called "patients"...

Try this[^]. Have used them for years and never have to pay any extra or get hit by a dentist trying to make money off extra work I don't need plus you get regular check-ups and the hygienist thrown in. (Make of the last what you will :-)).

Any job where you get to drill and screw people is where the money is at. You should be rolling in the dough once you get into politics. :-D
