It should be taught in dental school.

My dentist asked if I would mind if he used the rubber blocks to keep my mouth open while he worked. I said no I don’t mind because it helps keep the mouth open with no effort. Just don’t strap my arms to the chair and ask if it’s safe. He looked at me like I had a screw loose.

So on the way out I explained the reference. He said “oh god I hope I wasn’t torturing you”

I may bring him a dvd.
