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..."

I've always had lovely dentistsmyself (except for a student dentist once) but my little boy's "specialized pediatric" dentist takes the effing cake. Poor kid has paper thin enamel on his molars and is doomed to a lifetime of crowns, caps and bridges. My own dentist told me it was better to go to someone with more experience and sent us to Dr. Mongele. "Highly recommended" He started out without a word and when James protested, told him he wasn't being a very good boy. Keep in mind James is 3. James was scared and tried to call for help. (Dr. Mong refused to let me stand in the room) I hear the commotion and come in just in time to see Mongo grab James, hiss, "Don't be such a baby!" and stab the needle into his mouth.
Since then, James -who is 11 now- is so needle-phobic I have had to give him vaccinations and has refused stitches when he probably should have had them. Two weeks ago, he had a severe reaction to his allergy shot and was arguing with the nurse about getting adrenalin while his throat is closing! I took the syringe out of her hand and just nailed him while he was struggling to talk.
I could just smack that evil dentist.
