Cracked a Molar and now, I get to see the guy with the very small fish hooks he sticks in your tooth nerves and tugs!
I told him today during my "Consultation" that I live in the country so take no offense, "But I am going to cradle your boys with my right hand, and we will agree, you hurt me, I hurt you"!
It was very funny because he seems to be from india or something like that. I don't think it was lost in translation!

Hah! My dentist is a 50-something knock-out MILF, and I can't wait for my next appointmant. I had the broken lower-left molar scenario a few months back and enjoyed every minute of it.

A couple months back I had a wisdom tooth pulled. The form I filled out in the lobby asked if I'd like to inhale the knockout gas. I checked the yes box. The dentist has been there for years, he doesn't have a reputation of being a gay sedation rapist so I figgered WTF? I made a mistake though, maybe a mistake you can avoid if you want to be knocked out during the procedure. Once I was in the chair the dentist asked me if I was nervous. I replied honestly and said no. That answer prevented me from getting the knockout gas which mildly pissed me off. I've never tried it and was curious. So if you want to be knocked out, say you're nervous. My dentist was pretty cool. He had 3 or 4 perfect 10 dental assistants running around. I overheard him say to one, "pretend that I'm 19 and just do everything I ask you to do the first time I ask." Good dentist, that guy.

A good dentist will make sure you are comfortable during the procedure. If your guy/gal expects you to tough it out, find another dentist. And yeah, the knockout gas is the way to go.

I had a root canal once. The dentist (Air Force) was using those little probes to go in and remove the nerve. Everytime he hit the nerve it was like an electric shock. Friggin' hurt! I'm trying to tell him this, and he's saying "Oh, that doesn't hurt. Don't worry, I'm just taking a measurement here.".

WTF?

After he was done, I told him I should have brought my 50' tape measure in with me. He looked sort of puzzled and asked me why. I said, "So that everytime you hit that nerve I could whack you in the head with the tape measure..but don't worry, I'm just taking a measurement!"

For the first 50 or so years of my life I expected some degree of pain whenever I had a dental procedure. That's just the way it is, I figured. But a couple of years ago I was in the chair for a root canal, and after starting the procedure the endodontist asked if I felt any pain. I said, "No more than usual." He just said, "We can fix that," and gave me another hit of whatever they inject as an anesthetic. Presto, no pain!

It turns out I have a high tolerance for such things (I once woke up in the middle of an ACL operation, and that wasn't much fun!) so now I just ask for the XL dose. My daughter apparently inherited the same condition from me.

My former dentist was smart enough to employ well-endowed hygenists whom he dressed appropriately.

I never missed a cleaning.

My teeth were so clean, you could eat off of them.

Same, though I think mine looks more like she's in her late 30's or early 40's.

All of her assistants are in their 20's. Very nice.

The only thing I don't like is they discovered a pocket of bacteria hiding under one of my teeth (hadn't had a cleaning in a while, because we moved and the first two dentist we tried in the area SUCKED!). They brought out a device they called "the Titan". Essentially, it's a water-pik / jackhammer. They force it up against the gumline and water-blast the whole area under each tooth.
