This Won't Hurt A Bit


A visit to the dentist’s surgery is one of our activities that is usually at the bottom of our ‘favorites list.’ So far I haven’t met the dentist who was the model for the dentist in “The Little Shop of Horrors,” but the adrenaline is released in quantity as I sit watching the tropical fish. So far none of the surgery tanks have been populated with piranhas, which is strange as they all have such good teeth and would thus represent a good advertisement.

I vividly recall when a young guy and in pain, that the usual end result was a trip to the local dental hospital to be sorted out by students – under supervision of course. There always seemed to be a plethora of hot female aspiring dentists, which provided some distraction. I have never been able to work out where they went to as all the dental surgeries that I’ve visited since have been staffed by muscular male dentists.

Dental training is about to move into the 21st century as reported in the New Scientist (1).  Showa U in Japan has set up a collaboration with Orient Industries to produce a robot with teeth problems. Her name is Hanako 2 and she is a very pretty young woman. As she should be, of course, as Orient are Japan's premier sex doll manufacturers.

The trainee dentists will have to be careful with her as she will cough and gag on them if their heavy handed. She will shake her head and sneeze too, just to keep them on their toes. I don’t think she has bitten anybody yet, though she will shut her mouth when she’s had enough and her jaw is starting to ache.

You have to watch he wagging tongue. Both while you’re trying to drill and afterwards, as she can talk and gives feedback on your performance. This latter innovative technological skill probably won’t be incorporated in Orient’s sex doll robots any time soon.
