I really enjoyed this prompt. Here are my contributions:

Once when I wanted for money
I mistook for a dentist a dummy
He made my grin wider
But left my incisors
And now I just look like a bunny.

And:

I slowly drift off
Calm and peaceful, dreaming deep
Then he starts the drill.

‘Lack of business was causing me grief’
My dentist explained with relief
‘I canned my ad which had read:
“Got a pain in your head?
Fixed as easy as pulling teef!”’

Thanks for the excellent prompt; here’s my second Limerick ever:

While sitting in the dentist’s chair,
It just seemed so very unfair;
The doctor had no more gas,
So time would not easily pass,
And this gave me quite a big scare.

I’ll try to work on a limerick, but here’s a senryu:

with cavities
you must get novocain
- but gas makes it fun

Thanks for the e-mail! I was hoping for a limerick with more bite (pun intended) but at least the one I came up with is topical. Maybe another will present itself to me later. If so I’ll let you know.

Mad Kane,
Spread too thin and couldn’t participate this time. Hope I’ll be able to, soon.
Best
