Dentist uses sexy dresses to distract patients
Advanced drugs can cure many ills, new technology can revolutionise surgery but sometimes a low-cut, sorry lo-tech, solution is all you need - one dentist has bought herself and her ten nurses tight-fitting, cleavage-maximising dresses to distract worried patients while they work.

Dr Marie-Catherine Klarkowski said: �The most important thing is to take away patients� fear. The sight of cleavages gets patients narcotised and distracted from the pain rather quickly.
�Some patients� mouths are already wide open on entering the practice.�
It is unclear if the patients feel less pain but the number of clients going to the Relax & Smile practice in Munich has risen by a third since the change. Yes, they are all men.
Dr Klarkowski came up with the fleshy idea at an Oktoberfest event after seeing how men ogled waitresses in their traditionally revealing �dirndl� outfits.

The change has also seen the practice turned into an �Alpine lounge� with open fireplace, deer antlers on the wall and wooden benches for patients.
�The competition doesn�t sleep. I know colleagues who have decorated their whole practice with Mickey Mouse and one even in Star Trek style,� added the 41-year-old. And the nurses say the �430 costumes do it for them, too.
�I much prefer working in a dirndl, I enjoy looking good at work and it�s a lot more fun since we had the new outfits,� said employee Larisa Hrustic.
The cunning tactic could be used alongside a new device that filters out the sound of a dentist�s drill.
It plugs into an MP3 player, �locks on� to the harsh drilling noise and removes it, British researchers told Metro two weeks ago. So, soon you could be able to ogle in perfect peace.01-24-11 06:58 AM
