Welcome back to the Dentists Show! In this episode, we’re taking a break from the serious stuff to share the funniest, most awkward, and downright bizarre moments we’ve experienced in our years of dentistry. From TikTok hacks gone wrong to patients making unexpected bodily contributions, we’re spilling the stories that made us ask, “Did that really just happen?”
Ryan talks about the time he got up close and personal with a patient’s breakfast burrito (don’t ask), and Chase shares a memorable encounter with a patient who was locked in during a procedure—vomit hose and all. Whether it’s unexpected messes, runaway patients, or assistants caught in the crossfire, there’s never a dull moment when you’re working in dentistry.
These stories are a reminder that while dentistry is rewarding, it’s anything but predictable. They’ll make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even feel a little better about your own practice mishaps.
