Those who work in dentistry come across many funny encounters. In this post, we have compiled a few humorous and funny experiences that have happened in dental offices and bring you the top 10 funny meme’s about dentist visits.
1. Funny story by Anna, a dental student
The dentist reports that some years back, while studying to be a dentist, she was volunteering as an assistant in a dental clinic and she had forgotten to pack lunch for the day. There was a lot of work, and it was such a busy day. She reports that by 2 pm, while she was assisting a resident periodontal expert, they heard the sound of someone shouting “my stomach”. The patient raised her hand and asked us to remove a suction, which we did. He left only to return some minutes later with enough pastries for everyone.
2. Story by William W., a dentist
William reports that he did a denture on the upper side of a patient’s teeth. The procedure went on well and the patient was happy with the result. After wearing the complete denture for several months, she came back to the clinic and said that she was not happy with the denture. William reports that he asked if the denture was still fitting well, and the response he got was yes. He further asked if she liked the color as well as the shape of the teeth. She replied in the affirmative. What then was the problem? She replied that her teeth glow excessively when she is out in the club enjoying herself. Well, there is nothing much that a dentist can do about that, right?
3. Story reported by an anonymous dental assistant
A patient came in the early morning and after exchanging greetings, I asked him to go sit down. Without hesitation, the patient went ahead to sit and lay down. I asked what the dental problem was and he said that his back tooth filling came off. I asked if I could see it and the patient replied” my mouth is open. I was surprised because he had his face mask on.
4. Funny meme reported by a periodontal expert
A new patient had visited and I had just finished examinations and was escorting him back to the front office. The patient was pretty tall, and I saw his arm rise high, so I thought maybe he was giving me a high five. I woke up and gave him a high five, only to realize that he was yawning. I was very enthusiastic to give the high five and as soon as I discovered that he was not interested, I said let’s kick the periodontal disease in the butt. These days I have learned to subdue my enthusiasm.
