Less than serious!

Even dentists can have a sense of humour! Have you heard the one about.......

I RECLINED in the dentist's chair, his assistant at attention beside me. In came the dentist. He swung his instrument tray over my chest and picked up my record card, prepared and placed there by the assistant. Perplexed, he asked her, "What does this C mean?" Placing a comforting hand on my quivering shoulder, she answered, "Coward."

MY COUSIN, who had just opened his dental practice, was dismayed when his mother told him she was embroidering a Bible verse to hang on the wall of his waiting room. "Mum, you just don't put Bible verses in dentists' offices," he groaned. His mother assured him that he would like it. He did. The verse his mother had chosen was Psalms 81:10:" . . . open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it."

What do you call a depressed dentist? A little down in the mouth.

Dental-Chair Discovery:
            Dentists are incapable of asking questions that require
            a simple yes or no answer.

Q: What to do you call an old dentist?
A: A bit long in the tooth

Q: Did you hear about the Buddhist monk who refused his dentist's Novocaine during root canal work?
A: The Buddhist monk wanted to transcend dental medication.

Dentists can be frustrating. You wait a month-and-a-half for an appointment, and they say, "I wish you'd come to me sooner."

"Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill."

A little boy was taken to the dentist. It was discovered that he had a cavity that would have to be filled.
"Now, young man," asked the dentist, "what kind of filling would you like for that tooth?"
              "Chocolate, please," replied the youngster.

At 5 P.M. one Halloween afternoon, my dental hygienist realized that she wouldn't make it to the store in time to get snacks for trick-or-treaters. So she took home some free samples from the office supply cabinet. That night she handed out dozens of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental floss. The next year, although she had bags of chips and popcorn, not one child came knocking at her door.
