NO ONE LOVES A DENTIST

No one loves a dentist, friend,

Like surgeons and the knife;

No one means it personally,

It's just a fact of life.

 

No one likes reminding, friend,

About their rotten teeth;

The dee-cay on the surface

And who knows what beneath.

 

No one likes the visits, friend,

The waiting in that queue;

The numbness when the treatment ends

And your mouth won't work for you.

 

No one minds being laid back, friend,

Except in a dental chair;

You'd rather be busy anyway

And anywhere but there.

 

No one loves a dentist, friend,

It's just a fact of life;

And it doesn't make it easier

When your dentist is your wife.

After years of being NHS, I went "private" after a tooth broke one Christmas (why is it that sort of thing happens at such times?!).
My own main memory is the pain suffered by my bank account.

Hola
dentists eh? Can't live with 'em, can't...use their bones for soup without attracting the attention of the authorities [although, it has to be said, my dentist is a gorgeous and v. professional Portuguese beauty who, to paraphrase John, I'd marry in the twinkling of an eye.]

Not so, Old Buddy!
I had root canal treatment last year after a week of toothache agony (my dentist couldn't do anything until the swelling had gone down). I was so happy to lie there and let her inject me with happiness. I bought her flowers afterwards. (In that half-hour window I would have married her!).

Tee-hee
The pain!
What more can I say with my teeth on edge?
