Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 17, 2021

I’d a figured he had some great nitrous oxide. Or better.

Abra-ca-xylocaine!

Actually in medieval times people had fairly healthy teeth because they ate less sugar than we do today. And if you needed a tooth pulled the local barber would do it.

Before anesthetics people just had to endure the pain to have their teeth worked on.

Not long ago I had to have a couple of small cavities filled. The dentist was going to deaden my mouth. I really hate that lingering numb feeling in my mouth. I asked him if we could try it first without numbing my mouth. He said, “OK, we’ll try it that way first. We can always deaden it if you need it.”

It hurt some but it never got to a point that I couldn’t endure it. Afterward I felt just fine without a dead mouth. If the cavities had been bigger, I don’t know if I would have been able to do it without anesthetic.

Can’t conjure a healthy tooth?

My dentist is the only one I bare my teeth at – he knows why

Wizard, heal ( i.e. use a spell) thyself!!

A little humility is a good thing.

I find courage with a Xanax.

Nitrous barely touches me. Perfect pitch is a detriment at the dentist because the drill and everything else goes off-pitch to the point where I say that they need to take that out and have it tuned properly.

I bearly goes to the dentist. I even bites one once. He afraid to put his hand into me mouth afterwards. Heh heh.

And there average life expectcy was 32 years.

Oy! That’s me!

There are worse things… like surgery.

With the Wiz’s hand firmly grasping the Doctor’s jewels “Were not going to hurt each other are we?”

And then afterward, he’ll either exaggerate about how painful it was or say that it was a piece of cake…

I’d be nervous too, if my dentist used a mortuary table.

medieval times, nothing but black plague and healthy teeth. What a great time to be alive!

I feel sorry for Dentists. I avoid them, but I feel sorry for them.

Wonder why he didn’t use his wand

I feel ya Wiz!

I recently had a dental checkup after going way too long without one.

I like the people who work in my mouth to keep their eyes open.

That’s the tooth; the whole tooth; and nothing but the tooth.

Jittery Whiz?

Believe me – I know the feeling! I’d hate to see my chart. The staff fight over who is allowed to take a personal day when name shows up on the schedule!

I can relate!!!

Yeah, without the anaesthesia your wizardry could go on for a toss.

Gee, this sounds like me before my Upper GI endoscopy earlier this week.
