Another Dental Dispatch
A co-worker told me this true story about his experience yesterday. I thought it might amuse you.
This particular co-worker is an amateur hockey player. Thus, he has the traditional hockey dental work – bridges and such.
He had pain in one tooth that was bothering him so much that he had trouble sleeping. He made an appointment with the dentist. His theory was that he had gotten food (probably the ribs he’d just eaten) stuck between the tooth and the adjacent bridge.
He got to the dentist and explained the theory. The dentist pooh-poohed the theory until he started rooting around. Then, he found the cause.
Dental floss. Yep – he had little strands of dental floss stuck in there – probably when the floss broke while he was conscientiously cleaning his teeth.
It gets better.
Dentist: You just can’t use that cheap floss.
Patient: But you GAVE me that cheap floss. I don’t buy floss – I use the stuff that you give me!
True story.

hahaha, c’est la vie!!
Never heard of anyone getting dental floss stuck in his teeth, maybe he should’ve tried flossing it out??
Tell me what you're thinking...
