Dental Advice from ChatGPT

With all the ChatGPT hype as of late, I thought I’d see what it would come up with given some dental themed prompts. This was the first time messing around with ChatGPT and I must say it’s pretty impressive. Let me know what you think!

For my first question, I asked “Can you give denture care instructions in the style of a Shakespearean play?"

Indeed, fair sir or madam, I shall endeavor to provide thee with instructions on the care of thy dentures, in the style of a Shakespearean play.

[Enter CHATGPT, dressed in Elizabethan attire, holding a parchment in his hand]

CHATGPT:
Good morrow, gentle folk, pray, lend me thine ears
For I shall speak of dentures, that doth bringeth tears
To those who suffer with missing teeth, alas
But fear not, for care can keep them from decay and brass.

[Exit CHATGPT, and enter a patient, dressed in Elizabethan clothing]

PATIENT:
Hail, good sir, I seek advice on how to care
For my dentures, so that they may long endure.

CHATGPT:
Thou art wise to seeketh knowledge, for indeed
Proper care shall make thy dentures not recede.
First, thou must brush them daily, with a soft bristle brush
To remove debris and stains, that may cause a fuss.

PATIENT:
But what of cleaning solutions, should I use them too?

CHATGPT:
Aye, good sir, thou must soak them, it is true.
Use a solution that is recommended by thy dentist
And rinse them with water, to avoid any abcess.

PATIENT:
And what of eating, should I watch what I eat?

CHATGPT:
Indeed, good sir, for some foods may be too hard to meet
Avoid eating hard candies, popcorn, and nuts
For they may break thy dentures, and cause thee buts.

PATIENT:
Thank you, good sir, for thy advice so kind
I shall follow thy instructions, and keep them in mind.

CHATGPT:
Thou art most welcome, good sir, and doth not forget
To see thy dentist regularly, and avoid any fret.
For they shall check thy dentures, and make any repairs
To keep them in good condition, for many years.

[Exit CHATGPT and patient, as the curtain falls]

For my second question, I asked “Can you give post tooth extraction instructions as a rap?”

Sure, I'll give it a try!

Verse 1:
Hey there, listen up, I'm gonna drop some tips
For after tooth extraction, don't give me no lip
First hour, bite down, keep the gauze in place
Change it out every 30 minutes, don't slack in this race

Chorus:
Ice your face to bring down swelling
Take your meds, don't skip the telling
Don't rinse or spit, that's a no-no
No smoking or straws, just go slow-mo

Verse 2:
No brushing or flossing, for the first day or two
And when you do, be gentle, or you'll cause pain anew
Soft foods and liquids, no chewing or crunching
Hot liquids and spicy foods, avoid the munching

Chorus:
Ice your face to bring down swelling
Take your meds, don't skip the telling
Don't rinse or spit, that's a no-no
No smoking or straws, just go slow-mo

Verse 3:
If bleeding persists, apply some pressure
Call your dentist if it's beyond measure
Rest and relax, don't hit the gym
Healing takes time, don't be too grim

Chorus:
Ice your face to bring down swelling
Take your meds, don't skip the telling
Don't rinse or spit, that's a no-no
No smoking or straws, just go slow-mo

Outro:
That's all I got, hope you feelin' fine
Take care of yourself, and you'll do just fine
Follow these instructions, and you'll heal up quick
Peace out, and don't forget to flick!
