Being a doctor must be way more exciting than being a dentist, because if someone gets sick or is having a baby on a plane or something, you can help them and be the hero. But if you're a dentist, I doubt this ever happens: OH GOD THIS PERSON HAS A CAVITY! IS ANYONE HERE A DENTIST!? amirite?

reminds me of The Hangover...

I don't understand why anyone would actually want to become a dentist/orthodontist unless they had some kind of tooth fetish.

I like to think dentists are just the people that went to med school, realized they didn't want to be a doctor, but found themselves to far in to quit.

Hey, man. Why you gotta hate on dentists? Without them, we'd have ugly teeth full of plaque and shizz...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I didn't mean to offend anyone, just saying. But if we'd just brush our teeth we wouldn't have ugly teeth full of plaque and shizz.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You can still get plaque when brushing your teeth. And most people dont brush their gums, or the BACK of their teeth properly (bc it's hard to reach that area) so they get plaque buildup back there.

In elementary school, this girl in my class told me she wanted to be a dentist. When I told her that kids are afraid of dentists and that she'd be persueing a job that made children cry, she said "Yeah, why do you think I want to do it?"

If they found you out, you could be sued, couldn't you?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm really not sure how that would play out legally.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I //think// doctors and nurses are legally obligated to help out in emergency situation. You might have to have your ID or license on you, though. Otherwise, you might be blamed if the person dies. The same goes for off-duty police officers and firemen, I think. They are obligated to perform CPR if it is needed.

What if you're a secret agent and while you're sleeping, your enemy finds your location and clips a small bomb to the back of your tooth. Then the next morning while you're eating your bowl of Mini Wheats, you can feel something there (and hear the ticking) and realize you're going to blow up pretty soon. So you hit up your family dentist for an appointment and he pulls out that tooth before the bomb can go off, thereby saving your life and saving the people that you will save in the future. 'Cause you're a secret agent and stuff. Dentists one, doctors zero. cool

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If I was a dentist, I'd never go to your house if you had a bomb in your tooth.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Now the secret agent is missing a tooth, most likely ruining his badass secret agent smile not to mention deterring his ability to knash and slash food. And while I'm playing devil's advocate here, if the spy's enemy was able to sneak up on him, why didn't he just shoot him or light him on fire right away?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Because a doctor can't remove a tooth?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

because a doctor isnt qualified to take out a tooth. Anyone can pull a tooth out. But not like a motha fukin dentist can.

If you've got a bomb in your tooth, you don't really give a fuck how it's done, do you?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

well if you had the option of a doctor or a dentist i would take the dentist of course. Doctors ie GP's wouldnt have the tools to take out a tooth straight away. Its not like they carry around mini pliers at their work.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Fair enough. It would definitely be preferable for a dentist, it just wouldn't be necessary.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

churr. if we are talking about absolute necessities i dont think you would need either. I would just grab my garden pliers and yank the shit out of it.

My husband had to go to a podiatrist for something years ago and the guy kept insisting he was an "orthopedic surgeon". "hi, I'm your orthoptic surgeon." "as your orthopedic surgeon..." "being an orthopedic surgeon, I'd like to see you..." That's really what stuck with me I guess when making this comment. He was a podiatrist but I think he used the phrase "orthoptic surgeon" eight times in the half hour we were there.

List of medical specialties I'd never go into: urology, gastro, proctology, gynecology, dentistry, cardiology, and oncology.I think all of these are disgusting except cardiology and oncology. Cardiology because I think the heart is the most boring ever. Oncology because I could never handle telling someone they have cancer.
