So im picking a dentist...

[Roscoes_C&W]

My probational 3 month period for work has ended and now im covered under the medical and dental plan so im looking at the listing of my option for a dentist cause I would like to go get a cleaning. Anyways, I disqualify the ones that have a 'non-white' name because I would prefer to have a caucasian dentist because I would prefer to be with my people. Does that make me racist? I mean isn't it normal to want to be deal with people similar to you? Mexicans like to live in Mexican neighborhoods and I like to live in white neighborhoods and have white dentists. I don't think a white dentist is any more capable than any other race I just feel more comfortable.

[Murrie]

No your not a racist, but you do sound like a bigot.

That being said, it is your money spend it how you want, at the place of your choosing.

[Roscoes_C&W]

So you wouldn't do the same? You wouldn't even consider it when looking at the names of dentists? I find that hard to believe I think you're in denial.

Nope. Couldn't care less. I've had a white guy, an Indian (asian), and my current dentist is a gyuanna girl.

I perfer a good dentist not a certain colour of dentist.

[Roscoes_C&W]

Ya I prefer a good dentist too, I've had many different races of dentists growing up. But I mean now im picking from a list blindly. I don't know a good dentist froma bad dentist, it's trial and error so I have like 20 different options for dentists basically in the same area and all of them are just as convenient as the next. So I got it narroed down to:
Boris Zak
John G. Bishop
Robert Freeman
Ramin A Niziri
Mojgan Hashemi-Mousavi
Shahriai M Makanvand

As of right now John Bishop sounds like a swell guy, I think ill go with him. I mean I like Indians, they are super nice people like the nicest people in the world I think but I don't want to make small talk with someone I don't understand it's a pain in the ass.

[PoxTheSmall]

I'd probably go with an Asian (Japanese, most likely) Dentist, if I had a list to choose from. Not a Japanese dentist from Japan, mind you...but one from the United States. The reasoning is that I had the same dentist since I was 2 and he was a Japanese American dude. Then he retired and I went to some white guy who showed me why folks fear dentists...now I go to my original dentist's son, who just took over his father's old practice and things are fine again.

Edit: Does that make me racist?

[Roscoes_C&W]

Yes that makes you a racist, we are all racists the only difference is some except it and some don't. Welcome to the club Pox, you have made great progress on your long hard road to recovery.

[Murrie]

Roscoes, sorry if i wasnt clear. I dont think your a bigot, or a racist, your statements sound bigoted though. (and you did ask :p)
My advice, which is what I would do, is not to worry about any PC bullshit. Find a dentist however your would like (name, dartboard, whatever) and go for it.

Now if you live your life based on a colored world then you might want to examine your reasons, but there is nothing wrong with choosing a dentist based on a comfort factor.

Most women prefer a female gynecologist, does that make them sexist?

[Morety]

I couldn't care less about the dentist, the selection should be made primarily upon the size of his assistant's hooters.

[Roscoes_C&W]

You ever wonder what the male gyno was thinking when he chose his profession? I thought it would be the greatest job in the world but the more I think about it the more I think it's not that great. There's alot more hideous women than hot women so when you're at work you gotta look at alot more stinky, disgusting female genitalia than hot nice shaven female genitalia. I don't think I would want to be a gynocologist, there's some pretty disgusting shit goin on down in those things women have.

Anti-Boob-ite!

Just think what a catch he'll be for some lucky girl someday...

When I picked a dentist, I was in your shoes Roscoes. I didn't know the area from shit, so I just had names in the yellow pages. So I went with Dr. Jan Kraska, DDS. because she had all these good certifications and also sounded like a sexy, Slavic chick.

Unfortunately, she ended up being a dood. See Dr. Kraska here! (http://www.kraska.com) The good news is he's a hell of a good dentist. But he is mostly white, so I guess I'm racist. Oh, and definitely sexist. :)

Go meet them all. Ask them to smile. There's yer answer right there.

[Dape]

My favourite dentist was the one that called me an asshole. I was sweating and clenching and he said what is the problem. I said it hurts. He said u asshole just tell me if it hurts and i'll give u more pain killer. I have to agree with him. I always just thought dentists were sadist. I was wrong once again. Just remember, if it hurts, ask for more drugs.

[Eiru]

Whatever you do, make sure you pick a dentist who uses novocane. I had a buddy who grew up with a dentist who didn't use pain killers and my buddy didn't know such things existed until he was 20 and had all of his major dental work done already.

On the plus side, he did develop a high threshhold for pain....

[Figtoria]

1) I only got 3 on that moob/boob test, btw.

2) I continued going to my childhood dentist who had tortured me my whole life until the day when I told him the freezing was wearing off and it hurt. He told me not to be such a baby and kept on working. Luckily I was in my 20s by then and figured out that >I< was paying >him< - not the other way around - so I never went back.

My new guy is very nice.

My dentist is French-Canadian, should I switch?

[YarrThePirate]

I have the same dentist my whole life. I cant even imagine what Im going to do when I have to get a new one.

Swity,

French Canadians are retards. Switch.

[Morety]

I actually agree with Yarr. I mean really, who else but a retard would cheer for the Habs?

[Dape]

Go Canadians. :D

[Eiru]

Why is the squirrel holding on to the Habs logo with a yellow leash? I'm confused.

[Swifty_Johnson]

It's a monkey, that my be why you are confused.

Swifty

[Figtoria]

I don't know why you guys are always talking about basketball.

[Sparky]

If you have a female dentist you get consistent boobage instead of waiting for the assistant to come around.

[Morety]

Actually, it's not the dentist who does the cleaning where I am.

He does the drilling/checking etc. It's the Dental Hygenist who does it, and she should have nice boobies imo :)

Yeah, the hygenist does all the work and then the "maestro" waltzes in, pokes your teeth with that pointy metal stick (which, my theory is, CAUSES the cavities he later charges you to fix) and then he's gone.

Is that just a Canadian thing?

[Swifty_Johnson]

Humm, could be. My French-Canadian doctor does the same thing.

[Roscoes_C&W]

Ya the dentist doesn't do shit. He/She just cruises in for like 2 minutes and throws out some small talk and then the cleaning lady/man throws out some small talk about what he/she learned about you for the past 15 of cleaning time and then the dentist throws out a quirky one liner and then the lady/man cleaning person laughs and responds with a one liner of his/her own and then you go "mmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhhmmmmmmm" and act like you're laughing but u can't really laugh cause ur holding ur mouth open so the guy/woman dentist can look at ur teeth.
