Pfft. .lightweights, the dentist is easy. They don't ACTUALLY send you to lala land MOST of the time, unless you are SO afraid of needles that you NEED the gas. They just INSERT A LONG METAL ROD INTO YOUR BARE JAW TISSUE, OCCASIONALLY SCRAPING THE BONE UNDERNEATH WITH THE SHARP END, what's the big deal? Besides, just GOING's not such a big deal, and a simple checkup is cheap enough. OB1 can certainly afford it.
And really, GO TO THE FRICKIN DENTIST if you have horrible tooth pain! I'll let you in on something. If you have horrible pain for months on end and it suddenly stops... that's not a good thing at all... That is in fact a very BAD thing, which you may find when you take a bite out of that 50000th skittle and your tooth caves in on itself. Maybe that'll get your arse in gear, eh?
Needles do suck though... for all nerds... I suspect that's why Star Trek has those weird injectors that just sorta shove the medicine INTO the skin without needles.
Eh, wisdom teeth... Some people have to get them removed, others can have them sitting back there their whole lives with no problem. Those are the ones nature would have chosen if it wasn't for stupid society's need to let bad genes survive and proliferate! :D I happen to have mine sitting there happily enough... I'll say one thing. It IS possible for food to somehow get wedged deep into the tissue before the tooth has come out completely, in such a way that the food can't be brushed out, or even noticed, and that food alone could lead to the tooth decaying away before it's even fully emerged. That has to suck...
BH is a frickin' pervert, not like lazy.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
