The dentist is going to clean your mind and your soul.

A TikTok video, so I'm putting it after the jump:

I have a dentist with no receptionist or helper, who does not do whole wellness, does not look at teeth besides the one you came in about (lost filling almost always), and charges very little. I argue with him each time that he ought to charge more. Once every four years or so. We pick up the conversation where it left off, whatever it was about.

As long as he's not cleaning his pipes while I'm under the gas.

When the great Stephen Root was on the Louis (CK) show. A memorable dentist routine.

Gunter Grass' take on anesthesia, society and long term dental procedures.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Anaesthetic_(novel)

Starusch undergoes a long sequence of dental operations in 1967 in a surgery where television is used as a method of distracting patients from the operations and the pain that is involved in them, with the resultant televisual images merging and melding into his consciousness and reflections. Starusch recounts his own meditations upon the political past and the post-war situation in Adenauer's Germany and the inadequacy, from his perspective, of both Left and Right political ideologies and party alignments in that period (with tooth decay acting as a metaphor for wider spiritual and political decay).[1] The book is largely an internal monologue from Starusch's perspective, punctuated only on limited occasions by questions and observations from his dentist.[2]

I just went to the dentist this morning. They encouraged my water pik use, especially with my orthodontics.

Otherwise, fabulous little tune.

Only time I ever used a Water Pik was when I had braces between ages 12 and 14. I floss every night.

Anyone besides me think the guy looks like Mayim Bialik gone trans?

Aggie said...

Like this video, flossing is a waste of time and effort.

I had a dream once where someone said they had to see a mentist for moral decay.

… so I thought: ok, I’ll bite.
Way cute, made be guffaw, but a tad longish.
I didn’t look close enough at the dude to notice resemblances of anyone, but I really did like the voice.

Clean your wallet and blow your mind. Knee slapper.

I recently read that having your teeth fall out is the most commonly Googled dream in the USA. In Greece they dream about hats. Ill health and family dominate most of the globe, but not Greece. It's all about hats there.
