Here Are the Ten Strangest Requests Dentists Have Ever Heard



The Chicago Dental Society just released the results of a survey, where they asked hundreds of dentists to share the STRANGEST requests they've ever heard. And they put together a top ten. Check 'em out . . .

#10.) Can you pull my tooth without anesthesia?

#9.) Can you wire my mouth shut to help my diet?

#8.) Can you identify this set of dentures? They were left in the bathroom at work.

#7.) Can I pay you to come to my office every day to floss my teeth?

#6.) Will you pull all of my teeth and give me dentures?

#5.) I just broke off my engagement. Can you take the diamond from the ring and put it in my tooth?

#4.) Will you give me anesthesia in my lips? I'm going to get permanent lipstick tattooed on and it will help with the pain.

#3.) Can you do an emergency cleaning so I can go to my high school reunion with a bright smile? (--Not sure why this is third. It doesn't seem that unreasonable. It's not like she asked to have the dentist pose as her rich husband.)

#2.) Can I keep the teeth you pull so I can make a necklace out of them?

#1.) Can you give my dog braces?
