Ask any gaijin living in Japan about dentists, and you'll be sure to get an earful. While Japanese dentists are good at fixing teeth, they're famous for making you come back dozens of times to finish your dental work, instead of getting it out of the way in a few visits. Once I had some work done on three teeth that took an incredible 18 months. I believe Japan's dentists take so long to work on teeth because of the way insurance is structured -- they're only allowed to charge a certain amount to the system each day, so they spread it out as much as they can. Like men whose job it is to stand by the road and wave a flashlight to let you know there's road construction going on and NHK employees who knock on millions of doors to collect the $20 monthly fee from households in person, Japanese dentists are an unfortunate symbol of Japan's lack of efficiency in some areas.
This is the best reason to go to dentists: hot, hot oral assistants who clean your teeth for you. I just know there's a major Japanese fetish for having your teeth cleaned by a beautiful woman. I'd go every week if they'd let me.

One of my favorite evil people in Speedgrapher was the dentist who killed people through dentistry.
I especially liked the little sculptures he made out of his victims teeth. Master of the miniature arts.
That sounds scary. You could make a pretty good horror game or movie based on something like that.
Too bad Mainichi Wai Wai has been pulled, as I would have referred to an article there about a young dental assistant who, for a small fee, was providing some extra services for the male patients while they waited for the dentist.
I would have said something about your wife preferring your teeth go bad if she knew of your penchant for dental assistants and some of the extra pay opportunities these gals are getting in to...
Heh, asking for a "happy ending" to teeth cleaning? Hrrm, that reminds me of a few DVDs I've seen in the past, but nevermind. I am actually glad that WaiWai was pulled -- it was shameful, having the (totally fictional) crap the Japanese press made up paraded around the web for all to see, with most people unable to realize that there are about as many "urine bars" in Tokyo where people drink their own pee as old west towns on Venus. Good riddance to them ^_^
