The other day I was thinking about what could be one of the worst jobs around. I am thinking it must be dentists and dental hygienists. I mean these people work inside other people’s mouths all day! That is gross! Do they know what people stick in their mouths? Foods alone can be nasty things. Some people eat bugs, rotten eggs with baby birds still inside, and fermented cabbage. Just picture this:
Dentist: Ummm Mr. Jones, I found out why your tooth aches. You have a beak stuck in between molars 14 and 15.
Mr. Jones: Oh I must not have flossed well enough after eating that balut.
Foods aren’t the only weird things people stick in their mouths. Pregnant women are warned to tell their doctors if they feel the urge to eat dirt or clay. This warning wouldn’t exist if it didn’t happen.
Dentist: Lucy, your mouth smells like a rotten garden.
Lucy: Oh I had some dirt and clay for lunch today.
I am sure there are many other nasty things dentists and dental hygienists have come across. It boggles my mind that anyone would actually choose to become a dentist. Perhaps these are societies outcasts since it must take a sick and twisted person to become a dentist in the first place after all nice normal people don’t go sticking needles in other people’s mouths. Maybe these people just like to torture people and found a legal way to do so. Plus they get paid! Perhaps they should be applauded for being freaks that found a way to function normally in society.
(I hope my dentist isn’t reading this! LOL)
