Dentists Vs Mechanics
Dentists Vs Mechanics
I was inspired to write this byte after reading a post written by Mia Northwest on the similarities between her dentist and the mechanic, which you can read here:

There are many things in common between a dentist and a mechanic. A dentist is also a mechanic as they tinker around in the mouth with the innumerable tools that they have, trying to find a problem and "fix" it same as a mechanic who tinkers around engines with their tools trying to find a problem and "fix" it.
Here is a list of some of the tools that would be similar between a mechanic and a dentist. So, Mia is right in pointing out that maybe the two should get together and have their business in the same place.
1. A drill with the drillbits (burs)
2. Pliers (a dentist has them in all shapes and sizes)
3. Wires (a dentist has them in all guages)
4. Wire cutter
5. Solders and Soldering iron
6. The lathe (for cutting)
7. Polishing materials
8. A compressor
9. All types of wax to make inlays, onlays, dentures etc..
10. Sand papers, files ( big and small ones to suit our needs)
11. Eye protection
12. a work overall
Other than these the dentists also have to work with different types of cements and mixing materials, filling materials, like plaster of paris, stone, acrylic, and many more. The list could go on....! So, in effect, you could say a dentist is a "mechanic". Maybe that's the reason why dentists and engineers make a good pair!

With that list of tools, is it any wonder I view my dentist as a sadist?!
I've had many experiences with guys who act tough when they are outside the dentists' door, but the moment they are inside, they are a different story altogether! LOL
Then there are those "Macho" types who faint at the sight of a drop of blood!
And there are those who try to act fresh with you outside the door, and the moment they are sitting on the chair, they are sweating it out! I just need to show them a "tool" or two and pretend that I am going to use it on them!
Ha, ha ha... had quite a few laughs....!
Yes, I guess we are "sadists" at the bottom of our hearts!
I supply a lot of dentists and the receptionists are usually prettier at the dentists offices, and I have not ever found one open on Friday.

Thanks!
Thanx Mia, since I got the idea from your post. That was a brilliant piece.
Actually, we dentists do "feel" more like mechanics than "doctors" because we spend a lot of time in maintaining our "tools" and also when we were students, we spent a lot of time in the laboratory with all the tools mentioned above, and really felt like mechanics. There we were with hammer and sorts, trying to get our "masterpiece" of a denture out of its cast and then polishing it! Ah...Those were the days....!
Some people keep their engines cleaner that their mouths.
