lifes a bitch
 

I broke a couple of teeth this weekend and spent a good part of my morning in my office with my partner prepping teeth for crowns. Dammit!

What do the wife's knuckles look like?

Don't fix that shit. Then when kids come in you can say "LOOK WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T BRUSH YOUR TEETH". Best. Dentist. Ever.

Ummm....

I think they prefer the term, "Life Partner."

I'm getting ready to apply to dental school and I'm looking to do some job shadowing at different offices. Where is your practice?

LMAO... ohhhhhhhhhhhh... I missed that....

Gladstone. We dentists tend to put off our needed care because it seems like either I'm with a patient, or the other dentist in my office is with a patient all the time. This time I had to clear a spot in both our schedules. Believe it or not, they broke eating a bagel and cream cheese. They had giant old silver fillings from when I was a kid. those are destined to break at some point.

Shit. I have like 4 of those.

This seems like a really good idea.

Lifes a bitch and then you die.

These things happen...

I'd think with all your training that you could do it yourself.

At least you won't have to actually pay for them.

Imagine if you had broken your teeth and then were paying for them out of pocket. ;)

i've numbed myself up and done a small filling on a lower tooth. These are two upper molars. Impossible to prep for crowns on myself.

My dad was a dentist and chewed tobacco until he was about 50. Only in Arkansas.

He'd actually put a chew in if he was seeing an emergency patient after hours. Otherwise, he only chewed at work when he was back working in his "lab" on crowns and fillings and molds and such.
