Where you going Bleeb. Are you trying to climb up to the chair. Or are you trying to get away before she lets one go that matches the painting.

Didn’t he have an office near the Little Shop of Horrors?

Not all dentists are sadistic. Well, I think so although I’ve never met one.

We have a local Oral surgeon where that fits, The State Board of Dental whatever has tried repeatedly to shutdown the practice so far no luck ! Word of mouth is doing better at putting him out of business.

His brother is a physical therapist and he has a copy too

Thats a little too Munch.

“Sorry, ma’am… but that tooth has to come out! But here at Discount Dental, we aim to please! While you’re unconscious, if you have any ectomy’s or otomy’s you want taken care of, we’ve got a BOGO sale going!”

Our dentist has a picture from when they went whale watching — a pod of whales poking out of the water with their mouths wide open. I always thought it was cute.

He kinda does resemble that actor that played a psychotic dentist in thats 80s movie. The name of it escapes me

I have never understood just what is so great about “The Scream”, but it’s a Norwegian national treasure.

Remember the song “Be a Dentist” Steve Martin sang in Little Shop of Horrors? …disturbing. Funny, but disturbing.

Novocaine? We don’t use no Novocaine here! Ha, Ha, Ha!

Let’s drill down on this one a bit.

That painting should come with an audio app.

His other room contained a print of Jan Van Eyck, The Last Judgment

I love that painting. When I lived in NY I would sometimes go to MOMA on my lunch hour & see my favorites, & this was one of them

He must have graduated from the Marquis de Sade school of dentistry.

Gotta eat. I’ve got the Münchies.

Hit the cymbals, lady! Nobody wants to see that.
