Like the morning I had a root canal. During the prep the hygienist started to laugh hysterically – see saw that the doc had one brown shoe and one black. I almost rescheduled.
Having just been to a visit to my wonderful dentist to glue my $1,000 dental crown back on after it popped off after only 3 months wear (no charge), this is funny timing.
As I said on another site, when your ophthalmologist is peering into your eye, you don’t want to hear “Holy COW!!” I happened to be hatching a detached retina. All better now.
A permanent crown that pops off in only 3 months was not fitted correctly – make sure that it is documented – if it happens again, you demand a new crown.
When I was in the Army, fellow GI went to the dentist and came back with the following:He was told that he needed a bridge. However, we usually do these only for officers but I’ve never done one of these before —(He turned down the gnerous offer!)(Maybe being an E-5 had some advantages)
Howtheduck: I think the preferable word order would be “Johnston’s real-life husband was a dentist back in 1983…” not “Johnston’s real-life husband back in 1983 was a dentist…” The last I heard, they are still married.
A British keyboard provides the $ sign as SHIFT plus 4. Normally SHIFT plus 3 goves the pound sign. For those inconsiderate foreigners who use Euros, the procedure is ALT +ctrl +4 = €
The universal keyboard shortcut: hold down ALT and type 156 on the numeric keypad (ensure Num lock is turned on) This should through the magic of ASCII coding give you the pound sign. ££
I use to go to a bad dentist who would overcharge me, drill in my mouth when there was no cavities, do a cavity before pulling a wisdom tooth pull. I told him I had no insurance which fell on deaf ears.
I finally wised up and dumped him. Wished I done it sooner.He was scum and low life.

I had an aching tooth since November. I went to two dentists and neither of them would pull it; they said it was my sinuses. So I gave up.
