Several people sent me this one, so I’m putting it online now and shifting the LOL comics to noon

    Oh, the racking guilt of not flossing and not seeing a dentist for years.

    I think Arthur has it right.
    lots of people have bad oral hygiene and hardly ever go to the dentist, and of course they feel guilty when they finally do ’cause taking care of your mouth is like a moral thing.
    they also look pretty young. probably they don’t have dental insurance and haven’t been to the dentist since when they were covered by their parent’s insurance. just out of college maybe

    Been there.

    13 cavities and one root canal later, it was all better.

    Of course, I was addicted to NOX by then, but hey, good times.

    Yeah, my husband avoided the dentist for over a decade, and then I finally convinced him to go.

    Actually, the upshot of it wasn’t too bad. But we did have to space out all the work he needed done.

    Ah! I was thinking they needed to have themselves identified by dental impressions.
    All the other explanations make WAY more sense.

    I went five years without a dentist while in college and had no cavities. While that is a minor miracle, a lot of dentists just create work for themselves.

    Same here, yellojkt, but that doesn’t mean I recommend it to anyone else. No cavities, but gingivitis had taken hold. Dentists — well, the hygienists, at least — do a lot more these days than just a cleaning.

    Powers has it right. No cavities, but I had severe gingivitis for not seeing a dentist for several years. Learned my lesson, see them once every 6 months to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

    chuckers, if it makes you feel any better, I also was thinking alomg the lines of being identified by dental records.

    I used to go to one dentist until, while drilling on a tooth, actually said, “Oops.” Not the thing a patient wants to hear. He was removing a filling and was going to replace it, when he broke off the back portion of that molar. The thing that really pissed me off was, he didn’t even tell me what happened when I asked. I found out what happened after I cut my tongue on the jagged edge of my tooth. Needless to say, I called him and quit doing business with him.

    Maybe the being on the lam isn’t figurative. Maybe they really have been in hiding so long that they have bad teeth, and he’s really saying that he can’t stand the pain anymore, and would rather go to a dentist and get his teeth fixed, even though that means having to turn themselves in.

    Free health care in the pen.

    Brings to mind Bill Cosby’s Dentist routine.

    “He’s drilling and you hear him make a mistake:

    ZZZZZZZZBROWWWWLLL!!!!

    And to cover it up, they all say the same thing:

    ‘Okay, rinse!’”
