“TOP GUM.”
The Sailor grabs the Dental Officer’s arm …
"No way. I hate needles I'm not having any
shot!"
So the Dental Officer says …
"Okay, we'll have to go with the gas."
The Sailor replies …
"Absolutely not. It makes me very sick for a
couple of days. I'm not having gas."
So the Dental Officer steps out and comes back with a
glass of water, "here," he says …
"Take this pill."
The Sailor asks …
"What is it?"
The Dental Officer replies …
"Viagra."
The Sailor looks surprised …
"Will that kill the pain?"
"No," replies the dentist, "but it will
give you something to hang on to while I pull your tooth!"
When I was on an AOE we called the ship’s Dental the “Filling Station.”
Sent the new guy down to the “Oil King” to tell him to head to dental to get a new “crown.”
The Ship’s Dental Officer had a sign that read “Ignore your teeth and they will go away.”
My Dental Officer on the Rainier once told me, "You know what morning breath is? It's all that bacteria urinating and shitting in your mouth!" That'll make you want to brush your teeth ...
San Dog 32nd St. Wisdom teeth needed to depart. Lt comes in and after about 2 minutes of numbing is ready to start. I held him off for a few more. Then he proceeds to attempt to extract bottom right. When he started lifting me up he told his assistant to hold my head down. I told him this wasn't working. He said shut up. Started for me again. I grabbed a handful of crotch and said "We aren't going to hurt each other anymore!" He left the room fuming. Voices in the hall "Did you notice that they were impacted? The roots are wrapped around the bone! You are lucky you didn't break his jaw!" Enter full bird. "Petty officer Brandt we are going to carefully remove those teeth." Please keep hands on the chair." Both teeth had to be broken into 4 pieces and extracted. X-ray indicated that my jaw was as hard as the rest of my head. Never saw the Lt again and nothing further was ever said.
ReplyDeleteThe Navy Dental van came on the pier. The dentist said one of my fillings had to be fixed . Used Novocain and numbed my face from my eye to my chin lol
ReplyDeleteDuring boot camp service week I was sent to the dental tech school as a subject for the students to work on. The female tech I got had been in school a couple of weeks and was learning to clean teeth. She was a short, well endowed lass and I was cradled in her "pillows" most of the time. As she was scraping and probing, I could feel that my gums were getting injured, but I was good and didn't say anything. When she finished and removed the bib, it was covered with spots of blood and more than a few pieces of skin. My mouth hurt for a week after that, especially when eating or drinking anything....but, those pillows now....
ReplyDeleteThe dentist on my 1st ship had Top Gum on something in his office.
