According to drbicuspid.com the Chicago Dental Society surveyed more than 300 members to find out the strangest dental requests they'd ever received from patients.
Here are their responses:
- "Can you extract my tooth without anesthesia?"
- "Please wire my mouth shut to aid in my diet."
- "Can you ID this set of dentures left in the bathroom of the bar I work at?"
- "I will pay you or your hygienist to floss my teeth at my office every day."
- "Pull all my teeth and just give me dentures."
- "I just broke off my engagement. Can you prepare my tooth so that I can keep the diamond in it?"
- "Will you give me local anesthesia in my lips? I'm going in for permanent "lipstick" tattoos on my lips and would like to avoid the pain."
- "May I have an emergency cleaning visit? It's my high school reunion and I need a bright, white smile to face my old boyfriend."
- "Can I keep the teeth you pull out of my mouth? I'd like to make a necklace out of them."
- "Can you give my dog braces?"

LOL! I'd love to see a dog with braces! What is its owner thinking?!
ReplyDeleteThe one person who asked for a "painful" tooth extraction may have a pain fetish. Well, I don't consider them as strange, just different.
