It is a fact that all dentists have similar evil leanings:

Sooner or later, the evil will come out. Don't be in the chair when it happens.

Critter, I had a teeth cleaning at a new dentist years ago. The hygenist was lovely and nice. As she cleaned she started telling me hoe she caught her boyfriend cheating etc and as she went on the scraping got harder and bloodier. I never went back to that office, dang she was cute.

Last week I had my teeth cleaned, a x-ray and a tooth extracted in a nice dental office in the Philippines. It only cost me $35.

I once had a dentist in Hong Kong; his name was Dr. Sin. I swear this is the truth. He boasted that he could pull more teeth in an hour than any dentist in Hong Kong. Fortunately I only needed some bridge work.

As a dentist, I think I can chime in here lol
1. Get regular cleans and check ups
2. Avoid amalgam fillings. If you need a filling, get a porcelain one or a composite resin, refuse mercury!
3. There is increasing concern with the health effects of root canals, so if you need one, I would extract the tooth instead.
4. When extracting a tooth, ask the dentist to use a slow drill (sorry, sounds scary, I know) to remove around a millimetre of bone from all around each root, unless other anatomical structures are in the way of that, in which case ask him/her to scrape the debris in the bony socket out using a currette.
5. Use an electric toothbrush, using fluoride containing toothpaste once daily. On the other daily brushing session, you can use herbal toothpastes if you wish.
6. Try to filter out the fluoride in your drinking water if you can, its really not that necessary
7. Avoid female dentists! (just kidding folks lol)
8. Getting extensive, complicated dental work done for hideously cheap prices will ususally end up costing you much much more in the long run
Thank you for your attention.

It was fine for me. Flat screen TV to watch movies why they worked. They could also hook up a camera to show you places of concern on the TV. Last year it would have cost me $2000 to have the dental work done in Kuwait. I was cheaper for me to fly to the Philippines and visit the family and have the work done there. I think the dental work last year was $225 which required 17 fillings and a cleaning. If they use Quick Silver will that give me powers like the Silver Surfer??

All that Phillipines business is fine until you realize sometime next month that your heart was removed and sold on the black market. In its place is only a Butterball turkey.
You will be missed.

A Butterball Turkey is rather expensive in the Philippines. If anything they would replace it with a rat on a threadmill.

It's not a real Butterball, it's a blackmarket bootleg made from tree bark and sea shells. However, interestingly, the "turkey" was assembled by a rat as a warm-up before his work-out. Learning about new cultures provides endless fascination.

While I did not do this to mess with my dentist, I had a very legitimate "other reason". I did once eat an entire raw onion, skin and all, just before going for my usual check-up.

Besides Critter's immune system I'm wondering what the legitimate other reason was. It must be a very good reason to eat a whole raw onion. Or might it be too much information for us for you to wish to share.?

To those who are wondering why I ate an entire Raw onion, skin and all, as though it was an apple... Chalk it up to creativity. It was only bad luck that I had a dentist appt just after.
I am a high school teacher. Years ago I was teaching in a very rough neighborhood; South Central Los Angeles. A student whom I was trying to coral and get back into the class romm chose to use his elbow to give me a shove. It was like a cross between an elbow blow and a shove. It hurt a lot. as soon as he had done it, he began chanting repeatedly how I was not allowed to touch him. He is right. As a teacher I am not allowed to put my hands on a students in any way beyond perhaps a high five or a hand shake if they do something well. So he hits me and hides behind the rules? Bullspit! No student gets the better of me. The next day I had an onion. Another teacher had a supply from something or other for a lab I think. I stood in front of that student with the onion in my jacket pocket. Yes it made a bulge. If he noticed it at all he had no clue what it was. I locked one foot to the leg of his desk/chair so he could back away, and at the onion in his face, while saying lots of words that started with "H" sounds. The kid cought on fast that I meant business and the rest of the class laughed at him loud and long. He never messed with me again, I did NOT touch himphysically at all, and the message came through loud and clear, "Don't mess with the G-man!"
Class dismissed.

We had a teacher who use to fight students. Only one kid complained and his parents told the school that he called it on himself. He, the teacher, even shacked up with a student starting the day after graduation. Cool teacher.
