No Dentist To Thrive

O, may the day soon arrive
  when no dentist will thrive
The sound of their drill
  a mere swallow of a pill

Fine careers may disappear
  and dental schools fold
So, hold your applause
  'til your dentist's too old

Reminds me of the USAF dentist who drilled three of my teeth sans Novocain (which he sold on the blackmarket) before discovering he had the wrong file (someone named Munch) . . .

God knows they thrive pretty well, especially when they see me! He charges me an arm and a leg to cause me misery!

Isn't it mind-boggling how much we pay to suffer at the hands of dentists' and doctors?!... And they call it 'Medical Care!'

This made me cringe "The sound of their drill" - I wish all teeth and gums were healthy and we did not need any dentists. Thanks for the reminder.

I am reminded of a scary day with my dentist... ! The sound of his drill still vibrates in my ears... Researches are in progress that the tribe of dentists with their crude instuments will cease! Gershon, have you been to a dentist recently? Ha... ha !
