Man: But wont that contraption hurt?
Dr. Smatz: It sure will, thats why if you order now you will receive free, as our gift to you, not one but two packages of my anesthetic gum "Bubble Numb." Available in spearmint, peppermint and now new sodium-pent-o-mint.
Woman: Dr. Smatz I must confess Im a bit of a butterfingers.
Woman follows Dr. Smatzs instructions as he gives them
Dr. Smatz: Do not worry, with Mr. Dentist, you just set the suction level according to the procedure. Low for a brisk cleaning Medium for a tooth extraction and High for tonsillectomy. Then just insert the handy dental wand in the patients mouth and let Mr. Dentist do the work for you,

Dr. Smatz: Oh thats the wrong tooth. But no matter with Mr., Dentist two teeth cost the same as one. Call today for Mr. Dentist, now only three easy payments of $36.94 a year for ten years. Call 1-800-MRDENTIST

Note on the Mr. Dentist unit.: When I performed this as Dr, Smatz we pantomimed the Mr. Dentist unit. If you wanted to build one I suggest attaching a small container vacuum to a face mask via the vacuum hose.
