“No way! No needles! I can’t stand them!” the patient exclaimed as he sat in the dentist’s chair.

The dentist then reached for the nitrous oxide mask, but the man immediately objected, “No chance! I’m not doing gas either. Just thinking about the mask makes me feel like I’m suffocating!”

The dentist paused, thinking for a moment. “How about taking a pill instead?”

“No problem at all,” the patient replied eagerly.

The dentist handed him a pill and said, “Here’s some Viagra.”

Surprised, the patient asked, “Wait, Viagra works as a painkiller?”

“It doesn’t,” the dentist admitted, “but it’ll give you something to hold onto while I pull your tooth.”

The joke plays on the patient’s extreme fear of needles and gas, with the dentist humorously offering Viagra—not a painkiller—as a distraction. The punchline uses an unexpected twist, blending medical humor with a playful suggestion, making it a classic dental joke.
