Fearing the dentist is a strange, but reasonable fear. Most people don’t fear a check-up from a general care practitioner, so why is the dental check-up so fearsome? It really comes down to the fact that if you’ve let your teeth go, there’s a pretty good chance that the dentist will want to put a drill inside your mouth. Obviously, they want to help you, but the idea of the equipment literally digging into your exposed bone gets a little scary. I find it best to just take good care of your teeth.

Whether or not we like going to the dentist, we’ve all had to check in at some point. We’ve all had a dentist attempt to facilitate a conversation while our mouths were stuck open. We’ve all lied about our flossing habits. We’ve all been shamed about the plaque stuck to our teeth. Considering that, we can all get behind some dental care comedy.
