The colour of a patients teeth doesn't trigger a thought, unless it's due to an underlying issue such as trauma, in which case it would usually be grey/red/blue

For my GCSE's I got: A* A* A A A A A B B B

I went to Loxford School of Science and Technology.

I picked Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Further Maths.

I dropped out of Further Maths before completing the AS after I realised it doesn't count as an A-Level for Dentistry.
I dropped Physics in term 2 of A2 once I received my offer for Dentistry as two A grades.
I achieved A A A at A-levels in Maths Chemistry and Biology.

Actually I never say open up, I usually say "Could you open for me please?" .. and "Could I ask you to kindly open as wide as you can for me please?" for those who never open wide enough :P

A job that involved patient centred care.
Do you have a fantasy of getting kinky with one of your patients when they are knocked unconcious with anastetic, of course with their consent

I have never treated an adult patient while they were under general anaesthetic (sleep). 99% of what I do is under local anaesthetic.

I do not get any sexual fantasies of any of my patients. I only ever think about the treatment needs.
Do you hope one day to have a private practice? :smile:

What's the worst part of the job?
Why did you pick dentistry? I cant imagine a genuine reason for wanting to poke your hands in peoples mouths for the rest of your life?
