Your teeth are alright, but your gums have got to come out…..

This is not a drill.

Birds having teeth?

A sole praticioneer in this age of massive dental chains?

Actually, when my then 17-year-old cat had his remaining teeth pulled, they gave them to me in a little bag when I picked him up

“Sure I can save your teeth. It requires the laying on of hands and baptism by the Holy Ghost.”

Nothing like a pro who has all the bases covered.

Old joke: “She only goes out with the upper set. She leaves the lower set in a glass by her bed.”

Dentist: you need to floss more.Patient: do I have to floss them all?Dentist: Only the ones you want to keep.

I have two of my teeth in an envelope. I went to an oral surgeon to have one molar removed, and it wasn’t until he yanked on it he realized it was fused to the adjacent wisdom tooth.

They’d be valuable since bird’s teeth are pretty rare.

I’ll never quite understand where the tooth savers went to and got replaced by the pull-em-all out group armed with implants. Oh, it may be all about the money. Why a cheap implant can be $3000, a hefty sum for some dentists. But, I keep at least pushing for bridges that cost much less and can likely survive for 15 years. |A Maryland bridge seems most promising.

Old dentist’s joke, no doubt.

best thing that ever happened to my teeth was my dentist putting me on prescription strength Clinpro toothpaste… wish I woulda known about that sooner!

He’s gonna drill em and fill em.

My wife got a make your appointment reminder postcard from her dentist. It had a cartoon of a rather large chicken questioning the wisdom of flossing regularly since it probably did not have teeth.

I’m about to move, and purging my apartment of 30+ years of accumulated Stuff. I think I’ll be throwing out the little jar of my gall stones they gave me when I left the hospital.

Seriously? Teeth? Okay.
