“‘No’ … or … ‘Yes’ and ‘Yes’.”

That’s stupid. Why would anyone go to a non-local dentist?

Local is better than strange in this case. Or foreign in this case. And general in this case. In any case….

Having learned from a bad experience, I would interpret that question to be from a new or inept dentist and cancel my appointment on the spot!

Depends on what you’re doing. If you’re taking out a wisdom tooth, knock me out of town.

Oh, man! This is reminding me of an old “Carol Burnett” sketch in which Tim Conway injected his hand, thigh, and head instead of Harvey Korman’s jaw. (Spoiler: Korman’s bum tooth got knocked out.)

Doesn’t anesthetic mean “not esthetic”? So he’s getting artless dentistry?
