Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host, Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking about the Top 10 scary Dentist
Stories.
I HATE going to the dentist – but dental hygiene is so important….
In fact I would say dental hygiene is pretty key for your health and attractiveness…
nothing grosser than plaquey old teeth!
There are a few gross things on this list, as well as some real spooks.
Are you afraid of the dentist??
10 - Dentist Left Girl with Brain Damage.
In December 2013, a three-year-old girl , Finley Boyle, was left in a vegetative state after
a trip to the dentist in Kailua, Hawaii.
Her parents filed a law suit against Lilly Geyer and the Island Dentistry for Children
for negligence and dangerous conduct.
It seems the toddlers parents were told she needed six fillings and four root canals.
Finley was given improper medications with incorrect dosages, which lead to cardiac arrest
during her procedure.
Her parents allege that, on top of that, the little girl was left alone for 6 minutes and
nobody was there to resuscitate her.
Sadly the outlook looked very bleak for Finley and her family.
9 - This guy went to the dentist got permanently stuck in 2005…
William wishes he never went to the dentist on the 14th March 2005.
Why?
Because he is always there.
William’s internal clock is jammed at 1.30 – the 14th march 2005 in the middle of a
dental appointment.
What happened was that he had dental surgery with an anesthetic and something went terribly
wrong.
In an interview with local news publications he said : I remember getting into the chair
and the dentist inserting the local anaesthetic,” he tells me.
After that?
A complete blank.
It seems he had a bad reaction to the anaesthetic and it caused his brain to haemorrhage.
He now wakes up and constantly believes its 2005.
What a horrifying story.
8 - Maggots An article in women’s health magazine has
horror stories written in by dentists.
One of them, by Dr Gary Glassman, really got me…..
I’ll read it.
A little boy jumped into the dental chair and was actually excited to have his first
trip to the dentist.
His parents explained to me that he seemed to be rubbing one side of his mouth a lot
with his hands.
When I looked inside, I noticed his gums were very swollen—and found maggots in the area.
After clearing them out, I taught him and his family about proper dental care.
URM.
NO THANKS MATE.
If I had ever thought about a life as a dentist that one really has shot the whole idea to
hell.
7 Dentistry of the Past Look, if you think that these dentist stories
are bad, just imagine what happened in the past.
What went on might not be document but get a load of these legitimate devices of torture.
Look at this here bow drill from 7000 BC, or the Dental Pelican of the 14th Century…
hip hip horray for the dental mouth gag.
Do you want to know what they did with a dental key?
Probably not.
While looking at these, you may also want to bear in mind that anesthetic wasn’t invested
until around 1800…although they did have drugs such as opium….when someone is winching
out one of your teeth with a dental key, I bet you needed it!
6 - Chopper the Ghost This is actually kind of one of my favourite
stories of all time.
Chopper was a ghost that plagued a dental office in the city of Neutraubling in Germany.
In 1981, Chopper made himself known by pestering patients and dentists In one Bavarian office.
The haunting begun exclusively by telephone when Dr Kurt Bachseitz or his dental assistant,
Claudia, would speak to patients on the phone.
The so called telephone ghost would spew insults and slurs in a distorted voice.
The ghost then began to taunt patients in the dental office itself, with its voice coming
from a spittoon.
Chopper was a nasty male who spoke in vulgarities except to Claudia, to whom he was lovely.
Eventually Dr Bachseitz called the police because he thought the ghost was too much
of a pest.
When the police came to investigate, they too heard the voice, which had begun emanating
from plug holes, wash basins and chairs.
Becoming convinced of the ghost themselves, police 55 neighboring apartments, made ultravoice
measurements in the sewers and even high-frequency physicists built up their measurement devices.
However, they all could only record the voice, but not discover its source.
The German media went mad for the story, with a lot of people becoming interested in Chopper!
Eventually, one shrewd policeman noticed that Claudia always turned her back when Chopper
was speaking.
He observed her in a mirror and her lips were moving in accordance with what the dental
ghost was saying!
It seems she and the dentist were in it together and used voice projection skills to create
the ghoul.
Claudia admitted she invented the spook to relieve the monotony of work and to get publicity.
She eventually changed her name and became a recluse.
5 - Goodbye all teeth There have been so many horror stories of
dentists pulling out all of a patient’s teeth.
It happens way more often than we would be comfortable knowing.
My mum had a wrong tooth pulled out by a dentist once…but image all if your teeth!
Healthy teeth!
In 2014 a 23 year old sued a dentist in Clayton, Missouri for extracting all of this teeth
because he had an abscess.
Dr Mark D Meyers or Eat Right Dentures told him all his teeth needed to be removed and
charged him 5 thousand dollars for the work.
Skylar King reluctantly agreed but afterwards he learned most of his teeth were recoverable
and the abscess was treatable.
King’s lawyer said: the plaintiff has subsequently learned that the X-ray showed that plaintiff
had at least twenty-eight (28) recoverable teeth imbedded in good bone and gums with
a few fillings; and that one of said teeth, the lower right first molar, had a treatable
abscess.
I guess that will teach him to get a second opinion.
King was forced to be toothless as he couldn’t afford dentures.
4 - Calculus Bridge Formation Want to know what is terrifying?
Calculus Bridges.
That is what.
These appeared on one of my old Things You Shouldn’t google lists, but it turns out
I can’t protect you forever because they have to appear on this list as they’re one
of the scariest things Dentists ever have to face and one of the scariest things that
could happen to you.
If it does happen to you, though, you brought it on to yourself.
These nasty looking build ups of hardened dental plaque happen when you don’t brush
your teeth.
Once plaque has hardened like this, you can’t remove it with a toothbrush.
Instead, a dentist needs to use ultrasonic tools….sometimes the smell of it is vile,
and sometimes removal of these disgusting bridges makes teeth fall out.
erg.
3 - Death by Extraction While it certainly feels like I am going to
die sometimes at the dentist, I generally speaking try to use my rational mind to dissuade
me from thinking it will happen.
But it might….
And then what.
In 2016, Hayley Drinkell died a week after visiting the dentist.
The 49 year old from Grimsby, UK, died from Septicaemia after having a tooth removed at
a dental practice.
The telesales manager had multiple injections before the extraction as a result of some
kind of complication.
The postmortom concluded that Hayley likely contracted some kind of infection from bacteria
after her dental treatment.
2 - Murderer Oh, great…
your dentist turned out to be a murderer.
Less than ideal, really.
Tony Protopappas was a dentist from Costa Mesa in California.
In 1982, it seems he decided to turn to murder.
On the 30th September, he injected 23 year old Kim Andreassen with 9 lethal doeses of
anesthetics as he removed her wisdom teeth.
He then killed 31 year old Catheryn jones in February 1983.
6 days later he killed a 13 year old girl.
What an absolute sicko.
When a dentist goes to give you a dose of anesthetic you trust them, not suspect they’re
going to kill you.
I kind of want to end this list 1 - You haven’t seen horror until you have
seen modern day Dental Training Equipment This picture was posted on Reddit and Jesus
jimmy Christ the cricket I am terrified.
Who is this villain!
Redditor isProbablyarepost wrote: Tried to make it less creepy.
Didn’t work.
I love some of the comments – one person wrote – is that the British Ambassador….
Which…
lol.
Anyway, this led me to wondering whether or not dentist have other scary training instruments
and mate….
They do.
Why….why are they all screaming.
Why are they all looking directly at you, and if they aren’t, why are their eyes glazed
over.
Some of these are half humans, half robots and I am categorically not cool with it.
Also….WHY ARE THEY HANGING UPSIDE DOWN.
MY sad story of the dentist.
