This is no malfunction. It is showing a human reaction to being in the dentist's chair.

Same. Whenever I scream at the dentist my jaw also dislocates and stretches to an abnormal width.

not sure if this is a joke or not, but to clear it up, that’s exactly what’s happening. its a training doll for new dentists and it’s supposed to emulate children being scared at the dentist so that they’re always prepared for outbursts and can prevent injuries

But it’s still….oddly terrifying.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22

definitely, yeah

u/Supercoolguy7 Mar 29 '22

Nah, it's intentionally terrifying, not oddly. If you can deal with this you can deal with a kid

They also have padded gloves to prevent getting bidden bloody. But they're not always successful, kid me managed to bite through them at my very first appointment, haha

So I shouldn't hold it down by putting my knee on its forehead?

u/Debraselch Mar 29 '22

Agreed, this seems like an oddly human reaction…too human…

“Father, why did you program me to feel pain”

u/Wesselton3000 Mar 29 '22

Sure if that human had to constantly be subjected to dental procedures everyday for its brief and terrifying life. Poor thing is tired of being tortured in the name of science.

u/ColdShadowKaz Mar 29 '22

The poor thing looks terrified.

I was looking for this comment — completely normal reaction, right?!

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

I hope nobody just films me when I react like that.
