Today, I was treating a patient at the hospital where I'm a dentist. This particular gentleman was old and slightly deaf. After completing the procedure I gestured to the spitoon and asked him to spit. He got up, steadied himself, and spat straight in my face. FML

Today, at the dentist, I was getting my teeth cleaned. Looking up at his nose, I saw runny snot dripping onto his lip. I tried to slowly move away. He told me "Stop!" The movement of his lips caused the snot to fall right into my mouth. FML
Today, I was taking a walk when I noticed an elderly man on the ground, unmoving. Being a registered nurse, I tried to give him CPR. As my lips touched his, he hacked a loogie and spat it into the back of my throat. I swallowed. FML
Today, the dentist sneezed in my mouth. FML
Today, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. As the dentist was working on my teeth, he accidentally sprayed water all over my face. I couldn't stop laughing nervously, which made the dentist think I was choking. He ended up calling for backup and I had to explain that I was just laughing. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. My dentist kept talking to me while his hands were in my mouth. I attempted to tell him that it was difficult and dangerous to respond. My talking made him slip and slice my mouth open with one of his instruments. FML
Today, I went to the dentist. She had a tool that sucks up saliva, and put it in my mouth. She told me to close my mouth, and I did. Turns out she forgot to turn it on, causing my saliva to go all over my face. I had to sit like that for the rest of the visit. FML
Today, I was at dentist to get impressions made. The hygienist put way too much of the plaster stuff on the press. She put it in my mouth and asked if I was okay, I shook my head no and promptly vomited. It sat at the back of my throat and I could not spit it out until the plaster hardened. FML
Today, I had to go to the dentist to have a cavity filled. Around halfway through the procedure, something broke the silence in the room. It was my dentist, who had farted. I had to smell his rancid flatulence for around the next five minutes. All the while, I had to keep my mouth wide open. FML
Today, I went to the school dentist for the yearly routine check. She took ages trying to clean out my teeth with the metal toothpick-thing, constantly hitting my gums. After half an hour of pain and spitting blood, she looks up and says, laughing: "Oh, I forgot to put my glasses on". FML
Today, I had awful morning sickness, and I asked my husband if he'd get me a drink while I went to the bathroom. On the way back, I witnessed him spitting in the glass. FML

I don't know if it was an accident or if he did it on purpose.

If that's what he thought you meant, you'd think he would at least ask you "uhm.... you want me to do what?".

Maybe the old man is an anti-dentite.

Your username is Dr. Anonymous? So you won't reveal your name. I guess it's more like, Dr. Who?

I think he may have a vision problem as well

Wait, you still use a spittoon? The dentist I go to has a device that sucks it out. It's much more efficient.

I'm a trained dental nurse (US dental assistant) in the UK and we mosty use both. The sucky tube (aspirator) for saliva control during some procedures such as fillings, or during procedures where the dental handpiece (drills) omits water to clear the field of vision as well as irrigates (such as a scale and polish). The spittoon is used in conjunction at the end of most procedues. Again to irrigate, to rinse blood, to remove material (dental mould materia), to remove a bad taste (fillings) or simply the patient needs to spit.

I am a trained dental nurse (US dental assistant) in the UK and we mostly use both. The aspirator (sucky tube) is used for saliva control (like when filling material needs to dry), to retract soft tissue, using a handpiece (drill) that sprays water to irrigate and clear the field of vision during procedures. Spittoons are used in conjunction during a procedure if the patient needs to spit at any time, to rinse and remove dental material (such as dental impressions), rinse for blood, or remove horrible tasting dental material.

The spittoons are extremely unhygienic and should be eliminated completely. The one time use aspirators are much better. I haven't seen an office in years that uses a spittoon where I am.

@53: They're not used for the same purpose. Surely you'd like to rinse your mouth after having a cleaning or some dental work completed...? Or maybe you'd like to rinse out impression remnants? How is it unhygienic? At no point does it ever come into contact with any part of your body, and it is disinfected (usually with CaviCide) at least once between each patient, and flushed with water multiple times... Source: pre-dental student, have a dentist as a parent, worked as a dental assistant and/or hygienist in five dental practices excluding my parents'. All had spittoons.
