Hey! Now that some of us are accepted to dental school and others of us are well on their way toward acceptance, I thought it would be fun to post some information on my favorite dentist-references in pop culture. I know there is another thread about dentists in pop culture, but I think that was more for dentist stereotypes that are negative. I want this post to be fun!
Anyway, since the holidays are here, I suggest all of you rewatch the original version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer. If you remember, Hermey the Elf felt like a misfit because he didn't want to make toys, he wanted to be a dentist! Ultimately, he saves a bunch of reindeer from disaster due to his dentistry skills. Here's a short clip on youtube, but I suggest you watch the whole thing!
Also, if you have not watched the Seinfeld "anti dentite" episode in its entirety, you are missing out! It is hilarious! I recently re-watched it, and it's fun to watch it with the perspective that you will be a dentist too!
Finally, I'm sure all of you have watched The Hangover and saw that Ed Helm's dentist character extract his own front tooth!
