Raise your hand if you enjoy going to the dentist.
What's that? No one? Yeah, big shock.
Hating the dentist is easy to do because what is there to like about someone to whom you pay obscene amounts of money just to stab you repeatedly in the mouth with sharp and pointy objects? Nothing, that's what. Personally I believe all dentists became dentists because they are closet sadists who are hide their fondness for playing with medically-sanctioned torture devices behind the guise of good oral hygiene. I will admit I have suggested to Spielberg that he pursue a career in the dental arts, but only because I want free dental work for when I'm old and falling apart and need good teeth so I don't have to think how decrepit the rest of me looks, and every dentist I know drives an awesome car, so I figure a Mercedes for his loving, supportive mother as a surprise on her birthday one year would not be out of the question.
One of the best reasons to hate dentists is because they are scumbag liars and have a sadistic sense of humour which is not funny at all unless you're the one holding the tooth drill
Dentists receive 4 flaming middle fingers on the Hate-OMeter. Because they're asshats.

The BEST (and most honest) song about a dentist, ever!
Ha!! Is it ever!
DeleteHa ha!! Loved this! So so true. I swear my dentist asks me my life story while he's scratching away at my gums with a knife! ouch.
ReplyDeletewww.believeinfairystories.blogspot.com
You have to wonder if they honestly forget that you can't talk with a mouthful of their fist or if they're just a bunch of sadistic assholes...the latter gets my vote :D
DeleteYou're right, they all are closet sadists. Why can't they just buy a whip and a few paddles like a normal person, hmm?
ReplyDeleteExactly! 50 Shades of Gray made it all mainstream, so put down the tooth scraper and come out of the closet/dungeon already
DeleteMy dentist has a screen just over his head that plays a powerpoint presentation of flowers that I'm supposed to look at. Yep that totally makes me forget the sharp pains in my mouth, the blood, the drilling noise, the blurred vision. Flowers. Not convinced? Me neither.
ReplyDeleteMy son's orthodontist has a tv and headphones to distract the kids from the fact he's tightening the wires so tight, they spend the next week feeling like someone punched them in the teeth.
DeleteThere is nothing that will distract you when you're being stabbed in the mouth...nothing.
I'm with you on this one. I have to have nitrous just to sit in the waiting room, I swear to god. Why only four though? I'd have given those effers five flaming fingers of death.
ReplyDeleteThe photo that said "let me stab them with a prison shank" was totally my favorite.
Hi from Nagzilla bloghopping A to Z
Seriously, they should just hook you up with nitrous the minute you walk through the door
DeleteOnly four middle fingers because I've never had a cavity and I thought if I used 5, my dental karma would repay me with my first cavity ever. It's a tough thing, keeping karma at bay while bitching my face off for a month :D
even just the word dentist makes my teeth ache.
ReplyDeleteMine too!
DeleteI am with you on this, not only are they sadists, but they charge too much, and dental insurance is a joke. I have a whole mouth full of crowns.
ReplyDeleteKatie atBankerchick Scratchings
Neither my ex hubs or I have dental insurance...several years ago we had to take out a loan to pay for extensive dental work for him, which he's still pissed off about because who wants to hand over $8000 to some guy who's going to spend 3 months repeatedly stabbing you in the mouth?
ReplyDeleteMy sentiments exactly! Sheesh and to think we pay those guys! :P
ReplyDeletetm
Not only do we pay them, but we pay them HUGE amounts of money to stab us in the gums...what is wrong with us???
DeleteI dislike the dentist but I HATE having to visit the hygeinist - they have the capacity to make you feel like you really don't care about your own oral upkeep!
ReplyDeleteIf I had money and I was younger I'd have my teeth veneered - but at 57, I'll settle for just having a full set of teeth anyway, even if there are a number of fillings!
Just dropped in here, on the A-Z blog-hop :-)
SueH I refuse to go quietly!

The hygienists are just as bad because they do a lot of the dentist's dirty work and most of the gum-stabbing is thanks to them
DeleteThanks for dropping by :)
These are too funny! Great way to meet this challenge.
ReplyDeleteNew follower here. I'm stopping by from the "A to Z" challenge and I look forward to visiting again.

Thank you for visiting!
DeleteFunny photos!
ReplyDeleteI worked at a dental office for a while, and even the dentist and his staff all hated having dental work done on them!
Dentists also have the highest suicide rate of all white collar professions.

Wow, that's interesting about the suicide rate...I wonder why it's the highest?
DeleteThanks for visiting :)
Unless I'm in so much pain, that I'm banging my head against a brick wall until I draw blood, I will not got to the dentist. They're on a pare with Clowns...and Satan. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree...I'd have to be in agony to go near the dentist and they are a subset of evilness :D
DeleteImpressive...flaming middle fingers.
ReplyDeleteThank you...they seemed completely appropriate with my theme :D
DeletePoor dentists. I actually like the one I go to now but some of them are not fun.
ReplyDeleteMost of the ones I know are very nice people...but what a crappy job they have :)
DeleteI agree, they must be sadists! Why else would you want to look in people's disgusting mouths? But you are smart to steer Spielberg in that direction!
ReplyDeleteI just wish they could put you to sleep for every single procedure and then you wake up and it's all over with. Then they could stretch your mouth open as wide as they want and jab it to their hearts content with no complaints!
I told Spielberg to do it for the money, but he has zero interest in spending his professional life poking people in the mouth...damn him lol
DeleteI'd demand they knock me out and offer to pay extra for the superior drugs :D
This cracked me up! I'm lucky to have a very nice, gentle, talented dentist. However, I have been tortured plenty over the years by others. Local anesthesia doesn't work on me, and they used to never believe me. I've felt more invasive dental surgeries than any human should ever have to. But I hate getting stabbed with those damn needles over and over, so I don't say anything until they ask if I'm feeling it (anesthesia slows bleeding, too, so they usually get a clue when the bleeding is excessive...). So yeah, not my favorite either. My torture has all been because I smashed my permanent teeth out in a skateboarding incident as a kid. I have a strong desire to tackle my kids if they so much as look cross-eyed at a skateboard.

Those needles are the worst...jab, jab, jab...why can't they just give you one big shot that numbs your whole mouth and get it over with??
DeleteI hold my both hands up ...I love to go to my dentist - do it once a year, when I visit my old hometown Belfast. Have kept my dentist over there, a good reason for going back in visit once per year.
ReplyDeleteExcellent man, very light on hands and instrument.
Funny and enjoyable post .... I want to wish you good luck with the challenge.
That's great you found a non-sadist dentist...I think they are rare
DeleteThanks for visiting :)
This made me laugh (even if I don't think dentists are the work of the devil). I'll be back to see what else you hate.

DeleteI visited here because the blog title said Maple Syrup - one my favourite things! Then I see a post all about dentists - one of my least favourite things!! But I glad I stopped by nonetheless. Maybe you would visit my blog for the A-Z Challenge. I'm at The View From Ivory's Tower

My whole challenge is devoted to my least favourite things, because there are so many of them lol
DeleteThanks for visiting :)
Four fingers for the dentist, I would agree with this one.

I'd give them 5 but my son's orthodontist is awesome, so he upped the whole profession for me...slightly
DeleteThese are all pretty funny! Unfortunately for this site, I actually really enjoy going to my dentist in Des Moines. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteA dentist is an qualified medical professional who specializes in the care of teeth, gums, and mouths. Thanks for this superb post. It will really help a lot of people.
ReplyDeletedentist
ha ha lol,
DeleteMine's an asshole who doesn't take "yeah that's really sensitive, please don't shoot cold air at it ... please .... no...please...arggh" as a response :-)
You forgot “makes your gums bleed -- you need a special toothpaste for that. Only $xx.xx!”
ReplyDeleteIt really feels weird when you’re having your teeth cleaned with all those tubes and scraper is in your mouth, and then your dentist tries to strike up a conversation. And all that bleeding! You’d think he’s pulling at least 3 teeth with the amount of blood I had to spit out.

Great study. Can be an additional info for students as well.

Dentists have the highest suicide rate of any other profession because they have to deal with ass hats like yourself. I bet your teeth are nasty, your breath is nauseating, your gums bleed at the site of a tooth brush and I can only imagine what a nightmare patient you must be. Entitled, whiny little baby.
