Toothfully Speaking...

Dental Floss Ditties...

A six year old was obviously learning to read. As we began to floss his teeth he said, "I flossed last night. Mint. Waxed. 60 yards."

One child commented as her teeth were being flossed, "Be gentle! I'm only five, ya' know."

Juvenile Jitters...

"Dr. T"

Recently a hygienist was addressing the poor oral hygiene of a six year old boy. She pointed to the outside of his upper back molars with a gloved finger. He pushed her hand away and said, "Stop everything! I learned at Cub Scouts that if somebody touches me in a place that doesn't feel comfortable I should tell them and this doesn't feel comfortable!"

As an apprehensive four year old new patient climbed onto the chair he asked, "Are you gonna vaporize me?"

Another said, "I hate getting my teeth 'examinated'!"

Fairy Facts...

Four year old girl...."A fairy comes and takes your tooth from under your pillow. She takes the tooth back to her castle and she leaves you toys or cash."

"You put your tooth under your pillow and it makes coins!"

Dental WHO?...

A preschool teacher was preparing her class of three year olds for our on-site visit. She told them a special visitor called a dental hygienist would arrive soon. Upon our arrival she asked if anyone remembered what our job is called. A proud little boy called out, "I know! She's a gentle hyena!"

We've also been called:

		Hydental Genius
		Dental Hygenowitzs
		Gentle Hydentist
		Gidentist
		And, lastly, one of our hygienists was being introduced by a teacher and a little girl called out, "You look like a Mary Kay lady!"
