  • Summary

  • In this episode, David recounts a harrowing dental experience involving a seemingly routine procedure to get a dental onlay (a type of crown). The dentist initially assures him the procedure will be simple, but it quickly turns into a battle of epic proportions.

    The dentist struggles to control his "high salivary flow" and "insanely strong tongue muscle," causing gagging, choking, and near-vomiting incidents. The host vividly describes the discomfort, fear, and near-death experience as dental instruments and cotton rolls become lodged in his throat.

    Despite the ordeal, the dentist perseveres and eventually completes the procedure, declaring it the most difficult onlay she has ever encountered in 25 years of practice. The host is left traumatized and vows to avoid the dentist for the foreseeable future. The episode concludes with the host receiving a text message from the dentist asking for feedback on his experience, leaving him with a dilemma: to speak up or stay silent.
