references to GOING TO THE DENTIST? I just always found it funny that on certain shows, going to the dentist was made out to be a horrible experience. On Three's Company, Jack had a toothche and didn't want to go to the Dentist and Al Bundy was afriad to go also.

My mom explained that going to the dentist years ago was a HORRIBLE experience which is why it was probably in the script that way

Fred had a pretty bad experience at the dentist on Sanford & Son, if I remember correctly.

I'm trying to remember if Fred was trying Not to go to the Dentist when he had his toothache. Can't remember

I think on Perfect Strangers they had that. Balki was hilarious inside! The episode was called "Tooth or Consequences."

Laverne & Shirley.

Laverne went to Shirley's cousin who was a novice and very nervous. :lol: Bad enough she was afraid of going to the dentist, then she had to visit one who was "fresh". :rofl:

At first he didn't want to go to the Dentist, remember he wore the bunny ears. At Lamont's insistance Fred went, but he wanted a White Dentist.

that one's great, he brought the Sons of Death with him to throw the dentist out the window if he caused the Fonz any pain :lol:

On Home Improvement, Brad didn't like going. I think he once got detention so he didn't have to go!!!:lol:

He did!! That's one of my all-time fave sitcom quotes! (Season 3, Episode 1) :rofl:

Jill: Brad, you have a dentist appointment after school. Don't get detention again to get out of it.

On Full House, Stephanie was afraid to go to the dentist.

Wow so I see it's a long list of shows-lol

On the King of Queens, Doug was scared to go to the dentist.

There was also Beaver on "Leave it to Beaver"... very scared to go to the dentist.

And Kevin Arnold from "The Wonder Years" had no problem going to the dentist as a kid (thanks to a cute dental hygienist), but was very scared to go back when he got his first cavity.

Not a sitcom but Monk had a terrible experience at the dentists!

once on THE ALAN ALDA SHOW-excuse me; I mean one of the later episodes of MASH; Charles had a toothache and refused to go to the dentist.

(I just learned another nickname for those later episodes-the shows "PREACHY MESSAGE ERA")
