A bi-annual visit to the dentist is a routine aspect of life for most of us. But that doesn’t make it any less nerve wracking and terrifying, feelings that are only increased if you happened to hear any of the following 10 worst things to hear while at the dreaded dental surgery.
10. “Rachael, pass me…The Mutilator!”
No one wants someone fiddling around in their mouth to ask their assistant for something like this. It’s probably why they use all that obscure dentist talk.
9. “Well Mr. Smith, thank you for letting me do that check-up … the real dentist will be here in a moment”
What’s worse, having to have a second check-up straight after the first, or knowing the first one was done by some random bloke? The latter one in my opinion, I think.
8. “Well that can’t be good…”
The old classics are the best aren’t they.
7. “Okay Mr Smith, I have you booked in for Wednesday, right after Max the Dogs’ de-worming”
Dentists who double as vets? Could be the next big money making scheme should any dentist find themselves short on cash.
6. “Mrs. Brown, we’ve had a cancellation and have been able to move your appointment to an earlier time”
Better late than never is a philosophy – I think many people abide by it when it comes to dental appointments.
5. “The good news is that you only need five teeth taking out on your upper row…”
We all have fond memories of getting fillings or teeth pulled in our youths, right? Just me? Never mind.
4. “I’ve finished watching the ‘How To’ video. Shall we begin the root canal treatment?”
I think I’ve just found something that is worse than a check-up from a random bloke…
3. “Damn, I just pulled out the wrong tooth”
The dentists in hell are probably those that can’t tell the difference between a healthy tooth and the one that needs pulling out.
2. “That’s not my drill in your mouth”
Another thing those dentists from hell are probably infamous for. Just think of them as those priests we hear so much about in the news…
1. “The dentist will see you now”
The dreaded words that we all know are coming while we’re sat in the waiting room.
