You know you’re an oral surgeon if…
- You have never played a sport without wearing a mouthguard (including ping-pong, pool and chess)
- You post your kids’ x-rays on the fridge instead of their school pictures
- You only let your kids wear jerseys with numbers 1, 16, 17 or 32
- Saturday and Sunday are called “recovery days” in your family (when the rest of the world calls them “the weekend”)
- You drive a car made of titanium
- Steal a glance at peoples’ arm veins when they mention that they get nervous before dental procedures
- You don’t get offended when your patients don’t remember you
- Measure everything in millimeters
- You don’t smoke solely because nicotine is a vasoconstrictor and lowers the success rate of implant integration
- You use a dental handpiece to assemble your kids’ toys
