"Crazy ideas," she murmured under her breath. But she kept on nodding and smiling.

Alice thought about having forty teeth in her mouth – four more in the lower jaw and four more in the upper. “All I have to do,” she thought “would be to add the one-inch wide bone graft at the corners on my mouth and then place the two more wisdom teeth. No one will notice this change but I will become much wiser. I mean, how I cannot with eight more wisdom teeth?”

The only problem now was to find good doctors such as maxillofacial surgeon, orthodontist, periodontist, prosthodontist, endodontist and mastodontist.

“It’s ok,” she thought, “once I find at least one of them, he will tell me whether I am on the right track.”
Alice donned her favorite pink dress and white mid-heel shoes, slung her purse over her shoulder and went out......

To her joy, the third house to the right had the sign “Bjorn Gustafson All kinds of dentistry.”

“How nice,” Alice thought, I don’t even have to go far. “But is he a skillful dentist?”

When Alice walked into the dental office, she saw many different chairs and each chair had a different label: surgeon chair, orthodontist chair, periodontist chair, prosthodontist chair, and endodontist chair.
“That’s great,” Alice thought, “If there are so many specialized chairs the doctor must be very good.”

“Are you a good doctor, Dr. Gustafson?”

“But, of course!” Dr. Gustafson had deep bass, “just look at my mustache!”

Indeed, Dr. Gustafson had a long well-groomed handlebar mustache. It convinced Alice, but only partially.

“Tell me, doctor, you seem to have a lot of experience, but why don’t you have a mastodontist chair?”

“Hm…” Dr. Gustafson rolled up his lips and put an index finger on them. “Indeed? I don’t see it. They must have taken it to the animal section. Nurse, nurse!” he shouted. The nurse didn’t come through. “You cannot get good help around here!” Dr. Gustafson's face got red, “I am frustrated.”

He rolled up his trousers and Alice noticed that

his socks were wet and rubbing, but he couldn't stop.

“Why are you doing this?” Alice now fell alarmed. “…and then that lack of mastodontist chair,” she thought. “Can I trust Dr. Gustafson with such complex procedures? After all, it is my mouth we are talking about here!”

“I always do it, when I am irritated, since early childhood. I know this is a bad habit and my mother was trying to rid me of it. But what could my poor mother do? You know, she was a single mother, can you believe it?”

“This is a little bit more information that I need to know,” Alice separated herself from the doctor with the hand gesture.

“You better tell me, doctor, if you can help me with my problem.”

“Ok,” doctor stopped fidgeting and his socks all dried up. “Tell me what do you want?”

When Alice told him Dr. Gustafson popped his eyes and kept them popped for the entire second. “Hm…” he said, “that will cost you a pretty penny.”

“Don’t worry,” Alice shook her purse in front of the doctor’s face, “do you hear jingle?”

The doctor lowered his ear to the purse and indeed heard the jingle.

“That’s a nice sound, but I won’t accept just jingle. I need real money.”

Alice opened her purse and showed doctor her gold coins.

The doctor took one of them, “I’d have to run the analysis on it.” He bit on the coin, then nodded his head several times and said: “Yeah, that’s pure gold.” Then he added “Are you sure this isn’t stolen? Where did you get it?”

Now Alice’s head turned red “but, but, but…” she was collecting her breath, “…how dare you?! The emperor Frantz Josef himself gave me these coins from his own hands!”

“All right, all right” Dr. Gustafson's eyes popped out again, but this time they went right back to their place. “After all, we are talking here about your own jaws!”

Alice now felt relaxed. She sad at the surgeon's chair and opened her mouth wide. The doctor looked at her mouth for a long time. Then he shook his head and scratched his head

“Are you sure you want to put the additional teeth at the edges of your mouth?”

“Where else would you put it?”

“I can put it in front.”

“But I already have my teeth here” Alice retorted.

“I’ll make you the second row,” the doctor suggested.

“But in this case, food will get stuck between my teeth, wouldn’t it?”

“Well yes, but that’s why you must brush your teeth after each breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and supper.” The doctor was bending his fingers, “and also after snacks, don’t forget to brush your teeth after snacks. It’s very important!”

“Ok, doctor you’ve convinced me. Tell me something else”

“What?”

“Will I have a headache during the surgery?”

“A headache?”

“Yes, a headache. You know I don’t like headaches.”

“Well, if you don’t like it, then you won’t have it. After all I will give you anesthesia.”

“Anesthesia? A girl next door name is Anesthesia.”

“It cannot be. Her name is probably not Anesthesia by Anastasia. I’ve never met a girl by the name of Anesthesia.”

“Doctor? How could you talk about things that you don’t know? If I say her name is Anesthesia, it is Anesthesia!!!” Alice’s face became red again…
