True Story

It is not pleasant having breasts pressed against your cheek while having your teeth drilled...

Says you

I knew that was coming.

I am a big fan of low hanging fruit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But not plumbs?

Lead plums are quite toxic.

Thanks, Bad Penny! I promise to carry out my duties faithfully. Now I just have to figure out how to put stuff in my "signature" line.

And jesus, I'd forgotten about that old post. I think you've outed me as Brett Kavanaugh.

Done.

  Thank you, I did not want to be the first one to say it.

xSSp, I feel for you with your early-life dental trauma. My teeth were messed up when I was little from a freak swingset accident, and I had numerous visits to a dentist who seemed totally sadistic to me as a kid but maybe was just a regular dentist. Hard to tell looking back, but I do remember him wheeling over this tray of what looked to me like torture instruments, me looking at it and crying, and him laughing hysterically, so I'm thinking at best he didn't have the greatest bedside manner.

Great idea for a thread. I wish I had a good true story to tell but I don't!

Thanks, Anne. It took a long time to get over it but I eventually did. Looking back it wasn't that particular dentist's fault but yes, sometimes I wonder if that particular profession attracts some evil sadists...or at the very least people who have a hard time putting themselves in another's shoes. 

I see you have been given a Bad Penny sig item!

The last time I went to the dentist, they cranked my mouth open and did the cleaning. It was just plain brutal. The time before wasn't quite as bad, but I'm looking for a new dentist.

Yikes!

Slightly reminds me of the dentist who basically shoved her breasts onto the headpiece of the chair as she worked on my teeth. It is not pleasant having breasts pressed against your cheek while having your teeth drilled...

It was a one time thing.

I'm waiting for Tank to take you to task for this. 

The time before my last dentist visit... I was getting a scraping, not the most funnest thing.  I was coping by doing minimal shallow breathing, reaching a state of not really be present, it's a technique Pudding taught me, most puddings don't even bother being sentient most of the time.  I did it with such success I think the dentist thought I was dead, so she says ARE YOU ALRIGHT??? Yes, thanks for asking, totally ruined my state of equanimity.

Well, some animals take to playing dead to escape a predator, don't they?

Don't get me wrong, I usually wouldn't mind at all, it's just I would prefer not feeling extra nervous because I can feel a nipple rubbing against my ear but at the same time feel like I shouldn't be keeping track of that nipple's trajectory all over that side of my face if you know what I mean. 

I don't think she was wearing a bra that time...it was very awkward. Very awkward indeed.

[billy rubin]

dude, she knew exactly where that nipple was and what it was doing.

did you ask for her telephone number?

[xSilverPhinx]

Should I have asked? I wonder what a good line would be (got this corny one from the internet):

Are you my wisdom tooth? Because something inside me is telling me to take you out.

[Anne D.]

Done.

Thanks!

Wow--googling "pick up lines for dentists" produces 3.7 million results. I didn't know it was a thing.

What about this one?
"I have a cavity in my heart and I wonder if you can fill it."

Or, if you're feeling like being direct and getting straight to the, er, point, there's always this: "Are you ready to get drilled?"

This one's kind of sweet and dopey: "My next appointment is 3 months from now, any chance of seeing you sooner, maybe over dinner?"

[Dark Lightning]

I'd rather get a tooth pulled than go out with you!

Or, when someone where I used to work had to go to the dentist, we'd say, "You'd rather get a tooth pulled than come in to work, huh!?" That place had its ups and downs, needless to say.

[hermes2015]

I'm very good at filling cavities.

So I went to the dentist's yesterday again to get a cavity filled and man, I had forgotten why I hate that drill so much! Besides the shrill ear-piercing noise it makes, it caused my entire skull to vibrate. Added to that, the thing squirted water everywhere except the inside of my mouth.

I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled, not take a shower, dammit!

[Icarus]

Without the water spray the heat from the drill would have been very painful.
