A dentist had an old lady patient who was very hard to handle.
As soon as she sat in the chair, she panicked and would clamp her mouth shut so firmly that he couldn’t get it open to work on her teeth.
One afternoon, on about the third try to treat the old lady, the dentist figured out a way to get the job done. He excused himself from the old lady, went back to the reception desk and told his receptionist that as soon as he was ready to work on the old lady’s teeth, she was to move up behind her and jab her in the rear with a long pin.
Well the receptionist did what she was told, and sure enough, the old lady opened her mouth to holler and that opening, maintained with a pry to keep it that way, got the job done.
Finally finishing with his work, the dentist said, “Well now, that wasn’t so bad, was it?”
“Nope, not so bad,” said the old lady. “But I’ll tell you this, I never expected to feel the pain of a toothache way down in my ass.”

Paddy, suffering from a severe toothache, finally got up enough nerve to visit his dentist, but lost it again when he was about to get into the chair.
The dentist told his assistant to give Paddy a shot of whiskey kept on hand for just such circumstances as this.
“Ye got your courage back now?” the dentist asked.
“No!” replied Paddy.
So a second shot was brought, then a third.
“Now have ye got your courage?” asked the dentist.
“You’re damn right!” Paddy said, squaring his shoulders. “I’d like to see the bastard who’d dare to touch my teeth now!”

Marriage makes man courageous
A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist.
‘I want a tooth pulled, and I don’t want any vaccine because I’m in a big hurry,’ the woman said. ‘Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we’ll be on our way.’
The dentist was quite impressed. ‘You’re certainly a courageous woman,’ he said. ‘Which tooth is it?’
The woman turned to her husband and said, ‘Show him your tooth, dear!’
