When I went to get a dental check-up recently, I couldn't help
but
notice the similarity between the dentist's chair and the
psychiatrist's
couch. Then it hit me: why not combine the two occupations? If
someone was trained in both dentistry and psychiatry, then
they
could
become a Psychiatric
Dentist.
Think about it. If you're at the dentist's, you're going to be
sitting
in a
couch anyway. You could get psychoanalyzed while your
cavities
are
filled in. I realize, though, that after a certain point, questions
would
have to be limited to yes-and-no, answered by grunting through
a
mouthful of flouride.

Scheduling by a psyched receptionist, teeth cleaned by a psychic hygienist, fillings by a psychiatric dentist, and paid for by a psychopathic...eh, I don't know what to put here. |

Does this mean that the physical relationship
between mind and body can be
sculptured via tooth shape? ;-) |

I can't help but notice the similarity between a psychiatric hairdressing dentist’s chair and a beach deckchair… |
|

I want a psychic dentist who can ameliorate my toothache using only the power of their mind. |

"Zo, tell me a leedle more about your fahza." |

"NNng. Nn nng ah nng nnng. Nn?" |

"And how often did this happen?" |
|

Psychiatric dentists for people with oral fixations, psychiatric
proctologists for people stuck at the anal stage, psychiatric
urologists for those at the phallic stage. |

i'm not sure were going to get any significant breakthroughs on nitrous other than "life is really funny" or "life is funny but it also hurts quite a lot" or "i hear noises in my head, bad crunchy noises" or maybe "my father had really large hands too" |

"So you had a good relationship with your molar before the extraction?" (A new take on 'missing' teeth?) |

by choice defeating a perfectly good safety system for a purpose is all well and good. Problem with looking into the abyss for kicks that it's really deep and we tend to get curious, being human. You look over the edge too often and you are tempted to find out what it would be like to swim all the way to the bottom. Which there isn't. |

[Ian] Oops sorry. But isn't 'physical relationship
relationship' thought. |
|

Has anyone else seen "A Serious Man" yet? |
|
| |
aren't dentists rich enough to be happy with one occupation?
and same goes for psychics |
|
| |
besides.. normal people have either dental problems or mental ones,, not both |
|
| |
Then you'd think the British would be the most level-headed society around. Doesn't explain here at all. |

You're suggesting that ABnormal people are too rare for this
idea to be useful? Where do you live? And how do I get a
visa? |

I remember listening once to a story about someone who believed that the government were listening to/manipulating his thoughts via transmitters implanted inside his teeth - all dentists were in on the conspiracy and the only avenue left open to him in the end was to figure out a way to perform surprise dentristry on himself. The initial problem being that by even starting to think about how to pull/knock his own teeth out, he would be tipping off the government to his subversive plans. It all got rather complicated, but ended with a hammer. |
