Not something you want your dentist to say.

Run!

I hope he has a whole box full of them in the waiting room.

What? NO anesthesia? I’m outta herrrrre

I can just imagine what it sounded like in the operating room when I had my knee replacement.

I would scream just looking at the pliers.

I once told my dentist, while I was in the chair, that I was going to let out a scream, just to panic the people in the waiting room. He thought that would be funny but asked me to refrain.

As George Carlin once said-

“Never trust a dentist with blood in his hair!”.

" Now this might hurt a little…"

My 5 yr old sister came running into the waiting room with our dentist, holding his hand in a towel, close behind her. She cried “he told me he was just going to look at it” (before he pulled her baby tooth). Mother was mortified.

True story. Doctor was going to remove a tube from my ear when I was a child. I said, “Will this hurt?’ Doc said: “No, not at all.” Then he said: “Nurse – come here and hold his head…”

What a thoughtful Dentist.

Never knew of nurses working for a dentist office. Unless patients are sedated, as dentist are not trained.

He is a very thoughtful boss.
