Indiana, I think it would be more accurate to say that I go on Yahoo! Answers between dreams! Jeez, if I had the internet in my office, I'd NEVER get anything done!

CCTCC: I had an assistant tell me a funny story once. When she started DA school, she was shocked to learn that there was a product called "Dycal." She said that it was the only word she ever heard her dentist say. As in, while he was working on her tooth, he'd turn to the girl and say, "Dyyyy-calllll." As a patient, she just thought it was the assistant's NAME! I guess she has a lot of indirect pulp caps.

We had a patient who had to have some teeth extracted. He said "Man , I promise I will take care of the next set that comes in." Funny thing was, he was serious.
Wizdumb, you got that right!

I wish I knew. I had dental language training (or some such title) when I first started my current job. The dentist who gave the little lecture was too dry for my taste. I ended up tuning him out. No, really, I am a grown up.
I made my daughters' dentist nervous when I asked him about the procedures he was doing using such fancy terms as "indirect pulp cap". I have no idea why I felt the need to type that.

lol...cute question...i'm just on here cause you replied to a question i asked a few minutes ago about teeth cleaning...you should create a web site for ppl like me who are so afraid of a dental procedure or the dentist in general...it is so helpful to talk to someone when you have fears and anxieties about something...i know you probably don't have the time to do a site like that but it sure would be nice...lol...i'm just gonna bite the ol' bullet and call today and make an appt. for a cleaning...my dentist always says prevention is key to healthy teeth/gums and I know he's right, and I would do much better if someone would just invent some type of liquid you could rinse in for a period of time and it would just dissolve the plaque on the teeth...yeah, dream on...lol...seriously, that would be sooooo great...I even tried the high pressure water thingie, i forget what it's called, but I tolerated it for maybe 3 seconds...enough for me...but anyway, I just wanted to thank you for your answers on here...they are very helpful...sorry for taking up space on this question to comment on an answer you left me but I didn't know any other way to get in touch with you...if you ever make an email strictly for yahoo answers, please let me know, b/c i'm sure i'll have many more questions about dental work... :) thanx again !!!

I think you are hurting tooth# 1, 16, 17, and 32's feeling. They erupt late so they are not as wise as 6-year molars. They are usually useless and their fate is mostly extractions. So one day, one bored dentist decide to add "WISDOM" to those teeth in honor of their short and pathetic dental lives. I like wisdom teeth. In fact, I can extract a healthy third molar and move to the site of an unrestorable first molar. So you see, they might be dumb but to me, they are more than just numbers.

Geez I wish my boss was as fun as you Dr. Sam. Do you go on Yahoo Answers in between patients. My boss looks up the stock exchange when we have a gap. You're too cool.
