I told the dentist at the dental clinic that my teeth were perfectly fine, right before he pointed out the four cavities I was currently subsidizing.

The waiting room of the local dental clinic is designed to be just uncomfortable enough that you’ll promise to fix your diet if they just stop the drill.
