Now you really have me thinking. I will never be able to sit in the dentist’s chair again without thinking this. I’m just hoping I don’t start giggling when they say,”Open wide.” I wonder if my son’s surgeon has a favorite sports team…

That’s cool! Never thought about that, Elizabeth.

And I was just getting over my fear of the dentist, now I find out he might be drawing pictures in my mouth? Yikes!

I’ve had a lot of work done on my teeth too. I’ll have to check for smiley faces on the backs now that I’ve read this!

I’m curious how your aunt discovered this mystery smiley face on her tooth after 12 years!

Very interesting post.

Dear Sir Buffalo Sushi,

I have spent the better part of two hours searching all my teeth for smiley faces or other such markings. So far, so good… I seem to be free of graffiti.

Hmmm, I remember one time when I had some dental work done, my dentist told me that he was drawing a little smiley face, and I didn’t believe him. I wish I had a special little mirror or something so that I could see inside my mouth. Of course, I don’t remember WHICH tooth!
Now that I think about it, there was an actor on some game show who claimed that he had his character engraved on one of his teeth.
I like the idea of teeth autographing, but not some of those other things you mentioned!!

Wow, Sir Buffalo Sushi! I’ve had a lot of work done on my teeth. Now I’m wondering whether there are smiley faces on any of them. I’m going to ask my new dentist to check when I go on Monday.

Well, I’d rather have them leaving smiles than skull and crossbones or frowns or other negative things.

So that’s why the scar on my knee is in the shape of a smile! I wonder if the doctor who sewed it up autographed my kneecap first.

I love the idea of a hidden smiley face in someone’s mouth! And Elizabeth, I think you’re on to something!
