1. The Pat Down

We have all been there. Is my face fatter? Is it even still there? Am I drooling?

2. Every Dentist Sees this Once a Day.

You get in the dental chair and all of a sudden you are afraid of your own spit. You can't swallow that now! SO you constantly fumble your tongue and lips for that suction.

3. How Do You Like my New Veneers?

You'd be surprised at how low people set their bar for cosmetic dentistry. The only question is do you let them know how bad it is.

We try so hard to keep that tooth dry. Its like no one is willing to work with us. They just cast those little pieces of cotton aside like you didn't even want them there. No respect I tell you.

Come get your dental work done and we will make you feel great about yourself any way possible. Yep, we can even get you high.

Swipe that tongue. Let your dentist know they did a good job. It's a compliment to our kind.
