DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

Dentists aka Masters of the ObviousMy worst trip to the dentists was when I was about 10, I had four milk teeth out, on each side and level of my mouth. This meant no chewing. I woke up with blood around my mouth for the next four days. On the plus side though, I got to eat lots of jam.
I've had a couple of adult teeth out too. Now, aside from the enormous hypodermic needle which apparently will "only scratch a little", the grating feeling of your roots forcibly being removed from your gums, the occasion when the pliers slipped and my dentist almost knocked out another of my teeth, the biggest annoyance has to be the most mind numbingly stupid statement ever cooed placidly by a man with a wannabe medical degree. "Tell me if this feels uncomfortable". You've got pliers in my mouth! You're removing my teeth! Of course I'm not fucking comfortable! In addition, how can I speak with a mouthful of blood and a sedated tongue? In the end, I could only murmer "mmhmm".
