What’s the difference between a butcher and a dentist?
He stopped and I heard myself ask him “what d’you think you’re doing?”. He didn’t seem too pleased but I honestly thought I was being “treated” by some guy who’d tied the dentist up and locked him in the toilets so he could have his fun until he got caught again and taken back to wherever he’d escaped from.
No offence is intended to said dentist, nor is this a comment on his professionalism (although he could’ve been more understanding when I told him it was fine, I’d just keep the tooth after all) because, apparently, that’s normal, that’s what ALL dentists do. They must be sick. Why would you want to do that to someone?
Wouldn’t you think in this day and age they’d be able to remove teeth using some kind of dental keyhole surgery or laser therapy?
They can’t. Apparently it’s never occurred to them. So here I am not able to move my jaw which means no eating and no speaking (!), supposed to be resting (I don’t do resting and I certainly can’t rest AND get ready for my move) and all I’ve got from the dentist is a bill and two stitches which I’ve to get removed by a Sri Lankan dentist on my first day in the new job. Didn’t even give me the tooth back so what are the chances of a visit from the Tooth Fairy? Not much I reckon
