The Dentist Won’t Stop Teasing Me

My dentist keeps making jokes at my expense every visit. No matter how many times I sit in that chair, the playful jabs never end. It’s become a routine—I open wide, they crack another witty remark. Even the hygienist joins in, turning cleanings into comedy sessions. I pretend to mind, but secretly I don’t. Their lighthearted teasing makes the whole experience less intimidating. Though I’ll never admit it to them, their humor actually helps calm my nerves. Maybe dentists train in stand-up comedy along with fillings. Next appointment, I might even laugh out loud instead of just groaning. Who knew dental visits could double as improv nights?
