These are the things my substitute dentist said while I sat, very helpless, in the chair staring back at him. If you are also a dentist, and you’ve been thinking to yourself, “What can I say to my patients that will make them possibly laugh but definitely feel weird?” here is a helpful list to get you started:
“You’ve got a lot of bones in the top of your mouth, which is totally okay! Unless you need dentures when you’re older, and then they’ll have to scrape the bones away. Best to just keep taking care of your teeth.” *laughs*
Him: Have you always had that mole on the side of your face? Me: Yes. Him: Oh. Alright then.
“You should probably floss more. I’m not very good at flossing myself, but I’d definitely recommend it for you.”
“Would you like me to order you a pizza while you’re waiting? They could probably get here pretty fast.”
“You might want to ask for a receipt before you leave in case you get pulled over driving home. Since your mouth is so numb a police officer might think you’re drunk. Just an idea.”
