Open Wide, Please....

   "I find that most men would rather have their bellies opened for five hundred dollars than have a tooth pulled for five." ~Martin H. Fischer
   When an adult person sits in a dental chair we expect they will try their hardest to accomodate us as much as we accomodate them. Its a relationship, not fast food.

   Unlike an animal, who is without human reasoning and language, we expect you understand our needs when we voice them to you. Case in point: when asked to open your mouth a little wider, we just expect you know what that means and how to perform such a feat. Often its adults who find this request somewhat difficult, while children will readily give your their biggest alligator mouth possible.
