Damn,I didn't know I was leaking

What did my dental hygenist mean when she asked me if I wanted a dam put in?
Actually, Ms. Dental Hygienist, "rubber dams" are almost always made out of latex.





I'm wondering if you thought that condoms were made out of rubber as well, since they are often called "rubbers".
Reply:Just to clarify... latex is a rubber product... which is probably also the reason that condoms came to be known as 'rubbers.' :) Report It

Reply:awwww....were you blubbering again?


I told you last time already...suck it up man..... lol
Reply:absorbing material so you won't drool while they are working on you!
Reply:A dam? Ohhhh that was to go with your "lock" jaw. :)
Reply:A dam is not absorbant.


It is made of rubber, and it is used to isolate your tooth. Sometimes used when a filling is being placed. Helps keep that particular tooth dry, and keeps whatever they're using out of your mouth.

Reply:did she say "a dam" or did she say "her dam"
Reply:You might have misunterstood, she could have said "damn put it in,".......did you leave anything out of your story there Einstein?
Reply:Maybe she thot you were a 'beaver"...
Reply:Are you sure she wasn't asking if you wanted that dam removed? Being Canadian, I know that an overabundance of beavers can definately create one too many dams in one's mouth.





Just how many beavers make frequent stopovers in your mouth Einstein?
Reply:My hygienist asked for suction. When I attempted to oblige her she started screaming.


As far as the dam goes, they did that to me, now I am generating enough electricity to light my house. Of course you have to ring a bell ala Pavlov to get the juice flowing.
