Funniest/Most Memorable and/or Most Interesting Moment Experienced in Dentistry:
Many patients joke about falling out of the chair when leaned back. I've never had a patient fall out of the chair but I personally did one time. I tried to scoot my stool but the wheels caught on something. The chair stopped, but I kept going and landed on the floor! I was pretty embarrassed, but the patient and I had a good laugh!
