Dental health.

Dental health is important. No question. And dentists are a rare breed. They’re the only people I know who ask questions and never wait for an answer. “So…Mr. Fromac, how are you today?” and before I can tell him, he has his hands halfway down my throat and begins to tell me off for not flossing.

Next he tells me his life story...the same life story he told me the last time I was in his chair! Before long I’m thinking that the only way to get a word in is to bite one of his fingers. And nine out of ten dentists will tell you that’s the leading cause of extreme pain in their patients because, you see, dentists are really just people who grew up never getting a word in, always ignored. Now they can say anything they like to people while inflicting great pain on them and get piles of money to do it.

My advice? Just lie still and keep quiet. Dental work is a necessary evil. You don’t want to have to take your teeth out of a glass every morning, so don’t take them for granted. And remember to smile while Dr. De Sade, DDS, takes you to the cleaners.

Isn't life a blast?
