I live in Amsterdam and I guess it was only a matter of time before a drunken bike accident which led to a cracked molar. I went to the emergency dentist, and he asked me if I wanted novocaine while he repaired my broken tooth. I said yes, and he said: “The Americans always do.” On a related note, my Dutch husband had his wisdom teeth out as a teenager in the 90s. No general anesthesia, only local. They put him in a straight jacket and the dentist had to put his own foot on my husband’s chest to make ripping the teeth out easier. I have no idea how he’s ever been able to go back to the dentist after that terrifying experience.
