Do you see a lot of "gross" things as a dentist? if so, approx. how often?

Please define gross: I've been out of school for just under thirty years, and i think i've seen just about everything. What you might consider "gross", we would consider "par for the course". Heath care is never as glamorous as you might think.

Sometimes: It depends on what you think is gross. We see many swollen, infected, bloody, decayed, painful conditions and many people may think this is gross, but as a dentist it is cool to treat these things and help people feel better, look beter and become healthier.
