1-800-DENTIST’s disturbing outtakes
Posted in Uncategorized on June 30th, 2009 by laura – 1 CommentIf you’ve seen the many 1-800-DENTIST ads, which show a dentist and a woman who always seem to get in the same elevator, sharing dentistry-related banter, you know they use guilt and vague threats to convince the public to go to the dentist. The woman will just be talking about food or something, and the dentist guy is like, “you know what you need to eat food? Teeth.” Give it a rest already, dentist dude! The woman said she wasn’t interested. I think the banter is really just their way of flirting…they clearly have some sexual tension going on there.
But since I don’t have health insurance and dentists are all kinds of expensive, these commercials just frustrate me. I’m like, “I know! I want to go! Stop reminding me!” Grr.
Anyway, here are two truly bizarre (and unusually long) outtakes, which the company recently posted with a number of others on their YouTube channel.
The first one, entitled “Goodies,” confirms my sexual tension theory. The woman is now shamelessly throwing herself at the guy.
Yikes! The second is entitled “Oral Salvation,” which refers to a racy exchange around the 1:40 mark.

I also recommend “Pygmynation,” wherein the woman offers the following as a reason for distrusting dentists: “They do stuff in my mouth, and I am not a prostitute.”
