While flipping through the "T"s I see Thanatology, nice to see that's around. Just a few entries down though almost made coffee shoot through my nose.
Thermo-Nuclear Dentistry. WTF?!
What the hell is Thermo-Nuclear Dentistry? This is not a typo.
"Hmm this molar isn't coming quietly. Somebody get me... The A-Bomb."
When did dentists get involved in the arms race? Is this punishment for not flossing?
I must be misunderstanding something, but this is what the book says.
I for one, am glad I am never going to the dentist again.
So uh, somebody mind filling me in? What the hell is Thermo-Nuclear Dentistry?
Does this mean we are going to need a lot more laughing gas and novacaine?

Nuclear probably means they use radiation for something, and it could be Thermo with a dash means that there's a "thermo" part and a "nuclear" part that don't need to go together. Googling it hasn' turned up anything, but it seems that there are some studies that use teeth to cshow what some bomb effects are, that could also be it.
