After visiting the dentist yesterday, I started thinking about something: Out of all the doctors and physicians that we visit, (just to clarify this for my blog partner, chiropractors don’t count for either of these groups), the dentist is the only one we lie to or at least try to fool.
Now I don’t know if Im the only one that does this but I usually brush my teeth right before I go for my regular visits/cleaning. I guess I do this to show them my teeth are clean but yet I pay $120 for the cleaning. Wouldn’t it make more sense for me to go in there right after lunch and make then earn that money? I mean would you clean your house before hiring a maid to come over and clean it? Or clean your clothes before taking it to the dray cleaners?
I also lie to my dentist every time I go in there.
Dentist: “So, are we flossing every night?”
Me: “No not every night, probably only 3 or 4 nights a week”(when in fact the last time they got flossed was when his assistant did it for me)
I’ve also heard on several different occasions that dentist have the highest suicide rate out of any profession. I don’t get it. Shouldn’t this award go to the guy that has to clean up the set after a porn scene, or the guy that has to clean sewer lines for a living. What about proctologist, they can’t be loving life.
So next time your on your way to the dentist, pick up some spinach dip, and cheetos.
And then……

You are not fooling your dentist...just ask your brother. You say you are flossing and he is thinking "What a tool. He has to know that I can see the buildup on his teeth. What kind of fool does he take me for?" Maybe this is why dentists have the highest suicide rates, everyone lies to them. :-)
