STSA: Dentist Sign Language
It’s time for my six month visit to the dentist.
You know how hard it is to talk to your dentist when your teeth are being cleaned? Me, too. No more mumbling!
My friend Nancy sent me these. It’s sign language for your dentist. Give him these (numbered 1-10) when you visit.
Then, you can just hold up a corresponding number of fingers to the appropriate phrase you wish to convey to your dentist.
The dentist would not need to stop to ask you to repeat yourself and could fix the problem right away.
1. Everything is fine, but my nose itches.
2. When you get a chance, there seems to be spit running down my neck.
3. So, garlic chicken for lunch, eh Doc?
4. You realize that wasn’t my tooth that you just poked with that incredibly sharp tool.
5. I would REALLY prefer you didn’t do that again.
6. Could you please suction the chunk of debris that you missed before I gag?
7. Remember how I said I was numb? I think I may have been mistaken.
8. Wait a minute — maybe I am allergic to latex.
9. Just so you know, if I don’t get to take a break soon, I may bite you.
10. Please stop asking me stupid questions about myself or I will snap that paper mask on your face. HARD!
Got something that makes you smile? Please, do send it along!
And, here, a few fun links for the start of Fall. We love Fall around here.
