Dude,

I did NOT need to start my morning with this tale.

P. has some impressively large front teeth. Speaking from some
association with a certain unnamed person who has some pretty crooked
teeth, I can say that people who grow up with irregular teeth in
American culture, do so with a sense of disfigurement and a certainty
that they are unappealing and insufficient (often counter to all
indications). Dentists tell them over and over that they should "get
them fixed," as if they were broken, and their owner therefore
deficient. So, my point is, it may have less to do with the physical
pain dentists cause than it does with the existential pain they
inflict.

That's not to say toothaches don't suck. I once pulled my own tooth
with a pair of channel locks because I couldn't talk anyone else into
doing it for me and I couldn't afford a dentist. Required some
whiskey.
