DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

Pulled a tasebud outWeebear1975 spoke of a helix thingy and I can only assume she had the same paraphernalia in her mouth as me.
As a thumb sucking addict I too was given tracks for my goofy teeth (I had the set - blonde dodgy afro style Christmas tree hair, goofy teeth and puppy fat). I also had this piece of metal put in to prevent me being able to get any suction (ahem) when I put my thumb in. I likened it to the element in a light bulb. It looked like a capital W hanging in the centre of my mouth.
Yes it stopped me sucking my thumb but it also meant I had to relearn how to talk and eat. But the horrors go on…….
My tongue was forever getting stuck in it and one day the instrument hit back by stealing from me a taste bud.
You know how it feels to have a burn taste bud - i.e. your whole head feels it.. Well this thing was pulled out but attached and I could experience the whole range of hideous sensation and pain till I reached in and ripped it off.
Had a hole in my tongue for ages after that.
Mind you because of the goofy teeth I taught myself amazing tongue trickery…..perhaps save that for xmas parties…..
