I Hated Dentist!!

[DADDIO]

i used to just hate dentist i mean really would get almost physically ill if i would have to go,but finally had two teeth that we're just killing me and summoned up the courage to go,he was super nice and didn't hurt me any!!
and i decided to inquire as to old dental tools to make some micro tools out of,and he asked what for, come to find out the doc is a woodcarver as well!!
he left and came back with a handful of tools then we went to his office to check out his carvings,next time i brought some of mine over.heck i look forward to going now!! you just never know whose making chips.

Be careful DADDIO!! Dentists have a way of sneaking up on you.

I've yet to ask my dentist about tools but now that I've purchased a RAM45 I need bits and will.

Easy now; my Father was a dentist and he wasn't too bad a guy. Except for the time he ran the water pick down my pants leg and told everyone I had peed myself in the chair. Ha, Ha, Really funny Dad.
You all may not know this; but at least in the old days, dentists had to learn a bit of carving in plaster, so they could make dentures and such. There have also been a few notable dentist carvers around over the years; their names escape me now.
My father was a big fan of my early carvings, but is sadly no longer with us. He liked to doodle "Dick Tracy" type caricatures and remains a strong influence in how I carve my caricatures, usually with a prononced broken nose. I did a sailor for one of my sisters a while back and she picked up on it right away; even got a bit sniffely, so I guess that one worked.
So; anyway, do not be afraid of your dentist, and make sure you get your teeth sharpened twice a year.

Daddio,
Make the ultimate sacrifice. Have the dentist pull all yer teeth and you won't ever have to see him againBouncing S . I'm getting closer all the time as I feel the same way.

I'll have to check with my dentist tomorrow...I'm in the same boat as Daddio...
