TV Shows About… Dentists?

We all know about the craze of medical shows on television. They are dramatic, often inaccurate, and people love them.

Why aren’t there any shows about dentists, though? Think of all of the dramatic scenarios that could happen if a TV show were to take place in a dentist’s office:

• Romance between the male dentist and a female dental hygienist. Things could get really tense if two hygienists were after the same dentist. Or, roles could even be switched for a slightly more scandalous approach: the male hygienist pursuing the female dentist in order to advance his career.
• A little girl comes in with a bunch of missing teeth. It’s suspected that she has been abused, which has knocked her teeth out - except it’s actually just because her adult teeth haven’t grown in yet. Of course, in the previews it would be a huge dramatic build up until the truth is revealed in the last three minutes after your emotions have been going wild the whole time.
• Laughing gas gone wrong. Let your imaginations wander from there.
• A woman comes in with a bloody mouth and chipped teeth because her boyfriend hid an engagement ring in her cupcake and she bit into it.
• An allergic reaction to the toothpaste used in a regular teeth cleaning.

What else could be seen on a dental television show? Does anything extreme ever happen at your office?
