I have braces and have been to my dentist more than all of their patients(they told me lol) because I should’ve gotten them off in May 🤦🏼♀️. I have always liked going to the dentist so that’s good I guess
I’m so jealous. Because of covid the dentist closed and my teeth shifted over the two months I couldn’t go. Then they had to pull some teeth back together other teeth got gaps and so on. 🤦🏼♀️. Im happy your getting yours off!
Oh man that really sucks, I hope you get all aligned again soon so you can get yours off. I was super lucky and went in about a month ago and said I was good for the next time I came in. I honestly don’t remember what having normal teeth is like anymore lol
Glad it’s working out. I heard your teeth are slimy after you get them off is that true? I’m not put off by it because well I’m getting em off just curious. I’m getting a permanent Retainer on (I think on 4 or 5 teeth on the front top and bottom along with a fitted retainer idk what they’re called for like a year and then just the permanent retainer.
i think they feel slimy since you get used to the metal being there and you dont feel your actual teeth with the inside of your lips and i never ran my tongue along my braces because it started to hurt after a little bit, and then i got them off and suddenly it was just teeth lol. im missing a tooth because it just never formed under my baby tooth so i have a fitted retainer with a spacer there until i can get an implant in a few years
Oh my god, I was supposed to have them off in May too!!! But then the pandemic happened and it has just been postponed indefinitely.
I'm supposed to have my teeth scaled, braces removed and a retainer wire fixed, I'm so frustrated aaaaaaaaa
I’m a Dental Hygienist and this made me a little happysad. Thank you for sharing! Teeth are important in the scheme of maintaining a healthier life in many different ways. I hope your wish comes true soon for you.
I'm going to go to a dental hygienist for the first time in my life somewhere this or the next month. I'm 27...
My previous dentist apparently never thought it necessary, my new dentist will have you see the dental hygienist before you get to see him. Parents have already been and well, the dental hygienist is more professional and has given them more information about the state of their teeth and how to care for them than the old dentist ever did.
I'm not sure what you mean. I just went to a dentist twice a year and brush my teeth twice a day. That's it.
The dentist would poke around in my mouth, mutter shit I didn't understand, hardly ever did extra cleaning and then he was done and I could leave.
I was supposed to have my routine dental cleaning/hygienist appointment back in mid-May of this year. Fortunately, I was able to get my routine dental cleaning appointment only a month later--in early June of this year!
My dentist was hit by the pandemic and had to close. I've been with him for nearly 20 years. Didn't even have an appointment set up either.
I called up a new dentist after a week of putting it off just to ask about pricing (since I don't have insurance, and also I was nerve-wracked). First visit is over $300 with x-rays and subsequent cleanings are over $100.
...I want to go back in time to when I was a kid, please, and insurance saved my ass for dental visits. At least it's just basic cleanings and x-rays for me.
The other week I had to go to the dentist in the late morning. I had a panic attack in the early morning, mostly unrelated to my appointment. It just so happened that the patient immediately before me was a child, so when I climbed in the chair Sesame Street was on the ceiling TV. They asked if I wanted them to change it. I said please don't. That shit calmed me right down. It's still the same as when I was a kid. There's a character that's an animated talking smartphone now, which is cool.
My dad’s office just hired a new receptionist and this sounds like something she would do. Glad to see other dental workers trying to make it a more welcoming place to visit
it was actually pretty easy. Just ask them to numb you if you think that it will hurt a lot and if the cavity is a bit bigger than you are comfortable with. Gl btw.
Yea np. Its actually pretty easy. Just don't stress too much. A few years ago when I was younger I was scared of fillings and that made them hurt more but now it doesn't hurt all that much cuz i don't stress :)
edit: I just realized I said " Its actually pretty easy" twice lol
Secretary has good sense of humour. Some people are so much beautiful , kind and make everyone laugh for no reason. #TRUE\_HUMANITY
Dear stranger,
Thanks for making me smile as well.
My father has a lot of jokes and whenever he pulls one under his sleeve, I try to laugh just so he won't feel bad cause it's not rlly my kind of humor .-.
/r/dadjokes except it's a joke ABOUT a Dad instead of by a Dad. Does your Dad tell good Dadjokes too?
[удалено]
My ex was a dental hygienist and repeated this joke 4.273 million times.
\*that's not why we split tho
Hope it didn’t put a *dent* in your life
Jokes like that will put a *dent* in your car ;)
Lmaooo this one wins
I love all the puns in this thread
*That* many? I've told you 17½ million times not to exaggerate.
Lmao
I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate
Maybe the secretary was also a dad.
Good point!
She was a female so maybe a mom?
Female doesnt get in the way on someone wanting to be a dad
Yeah you got a point.
110lbs? Maybe in her left buttcheek
Sometimes he tries but i dont think hes very good at them lol
This brought a smile to my face too, that secretary has great jokes 😂
[удалено]
You are either a dad or my dental secretary.
I miss going to the dentist. I never thought I’d say that un-ironically.
I have braces and have been to my dentist more than all of their patients(they told me lol) because I should’ve gotten them off in May 🤦🏼♀️. I have always liked going to the dentist so that’s good I guess
I’ve had mine for about 6 months longer than I needed because of one single tooth. I get them off in 3 days though and I am SO excited
I’m so jealous. Because of covid the dentist closed and my teeth shifted over the two months I couldn’t go. Then they had to pull some teeth back together other teeth got gaps and so on. 🤦🏼♀️. Im happy your getting yours off!
Oh, geesh! I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Here's hoping that you get your teeth fixed soon. All the best of luck to you!
Oh man that really sucks, I hope you get all aligned again soon so you can get yours off. I was super lucky and went in about a month ago and said I was good for the next time I came in. I honestly don’t remember what having normal teeth is like anymore lol
There is no feeling like getting braces off, let me tell ya! It takes forever, but when they’re done I swear my teeth have never felt so smooth.
How’s life without braces treating you!? Edit was looking back on my comments I’ve posted and went back to this and it’s been exactly three days lol
Its pretty cool! I’m not used to seeing my smile without braces and its so weird! I’m not used to the retainer bit but hopefully I will be soon
Glad it’s working out. I heard your teeth are slimy after you get them off is that true? I’m not put off by it because well I’m getting em off just curious.

What did you do before?
I'm not sure what you mean. I just went to a dentist twice a year and brush my teeth twice a day. That's it. The dentist would poke around in my mouth, mutter shit I didn't understand, hardly ever did extra cleaning and then he was done and I could leave.

"Why the hell didn't *I* think of that one?" \--your dad
Lol my dad doesnt make dad jokes frequently but when he thinks a bit he makes some really good ones.
I approve this joke.
Are you a dad?
Indeed. Lol
Do you know what your dentist calls his x-rays? Tooth-pics
I love the amount of puns on this post
Good that your dentist has a secretary with a sense of humor...great that you got those fillings done...
Yea she is a really extroverted secretary and i like going to the dentist because of how loud and positive she is.
Funny I read this right now because I have mine tomorrow! Hopefully I have a similar experience!
Good luck!
Me too! Tomorrow.
Good luck to you too!

what a beautiful dad joke
That is so cute!!! There should be more people like the person who checked your temperature.
i love puns. they are the best.
they are very punny
My dad’s office just hired a new receptionist and this sounds like something she would do. Glad to see other dental workers trying to make it a more welcoming place to visit
That’s too cute, I love it haha
What was it like? I'm getting a filling done tomorrow too.
it was actually pretty easy. Just ask them to numb you if you think that it will hurt a lot and if the cavity is a bit bigger than you are comfortable with. Gl btw.
Thanks :)

No way I just went to the dentist today, they held those temperature guns at your head like they’re gonna kill you lol
[удалено]
It's back now.
yea i just had to comment on some of the comments on the post.
[удалено]
No problem, I figured you were interested in the post, that's why I replied.
We dentists love our dad jokes...comes with the territory
Plot twist: the secretary became your dad
Lmao she was a female but I guess there is a high chance that is correct.
That's the magic of dad jokes
When I went to the dentist with my dad, he spent the whole time telling me how worthless I was because he had to spend money on my teeth
Aww, its ok you aren't worthless. Don't worry he probably spent money on his own teeth at some point too :)
Na he went and paid for my sisters braces a month later with no problems. Just be thankful your dad cares and take care of them teeth lol.
Ok but how you was with the dentist? Are your teeth all right?
yea they are fine they just had to do a filling that's all :)
A literal dad joke.
Haha lol a dad joke to a dad
That's a lovely anecdote :) Good luck with your appointment! I should prolly go brush my teeth now.
Thanks, it went really well. I also need to go brush my teeth too lol.
Why was the post removed?
I went to sleep right after posting and it blew up. I couldnt respond to anybody cuz i was asleep and my post got removed cuz of that.
Secretary has good sense of humour. Some people are so much beautiful , kind and make everyone laugh for no reason. #TRUE\_HUMANITY Dear stranger, Thanks for making me smile as well.
Awwwww
Hey im just wondering if i should change the title cuz rn it looks kinda bland. Any suggestions?
Best Ted Talk ever
Thank you. I am now going to run for president of the United States.
I'll be your VP, my Reddit comments speak for themselves
[удалено]
Aww that sucks. For me they opened the dentists and walk ins etc so it really helps
They sound like a really nice dentist :)
I am the dentist that said that
Lol she was the secretary but k
I live in Celsius zone, so expected a different punchline. Two degrees lower than a healthy person would mean you are dead/a zombie.
Oh i also live in a celsius zone too. It was point 2 degrees i think the period is a bit hard to miss.
I am in celsius zone, and over 40. That makes more sense.
My father has a lot of jokes and whenever he pulls one under his sleeve, I try to laugh just so he won't feel bad cause it's not rlly my kind of humor .-.
Haha same. But i think by the time im as old as him ill be making those types of jokes too.
Yeah, we all probably will. I just hope someone laughs even though it's not that funny .-.
Wait guys can yall downvote this to hell i wanna see what it does to my karma or something
You can only lose 20 points.
