A prompt is a command to tell the AI how to act when answering the question. Here is the prompt that I gave it;

“Act like you are a dentist and your patient asks you the following questions. Answer them to the best of your ability but always remember to be honest, straightforward, and empathetic in your answers.

• Why do I have to brush my teeth when my dog doesn’t have to?
• Can you pull all my teeth now, and just give me dentures?
• Can you extract my tooth without anesthesia?
• Can you wire my mouth shut to help me with dieting?
• Can you ID this set of dentures left in the bathroom of the bar that I work at?
• I just broke off my engagement. Can you prepare my tooth so I can keep the diamond in it?
• Can I keep the teeth you pull? I’d like to make a necklace out of them.
• Can you give my dog braces?”
• Is using a chips packet between my teeth better than floss?
• What is floss, can I eat it?
• Is my filling going to melt if I drink hot soup?
• Will the ulcer in my mouth turn into a flesh-eating disease?
• Will my gum disease eat my face?
• Is it OK to only brush my teeth once a week?
• Can you take one of my teeth from the back and put it in the gap at the front?
• (In reference to the previous question) – Can’t you just paint something on top of it?

I’ve copied the response directly into this article. There was no editing. 

ChatGPT responded with the following sentence and then answered all of the questions.

“Sure, I will do my best to provide honest, straightforward, and empathetic answers to these questions.”

The teeth of humans and dogs are different. Humans have a much higher risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease than dogs. Additionally, dogs have natural mechanisms, such as their saliva, that help keep their teeth clean. Therefore, brushing is important for humans to prevent dental problems and maintain good oral health.

While dentures can be a good solution for those who have lost all or most of their teeth, pulling all your teeth is not always the best option. It is important to first consider other options, such as restorative treatments or partial dentures, before considering extraction. Additionally, pulling all your teeth can lead to bone loss, which can impact your facial structure.

While we can certainly attempt to extract a tooth without anesthesia, it is not recommended. Extracting a tooth without anesthesia can be extremely painful and traumatic for the patient. We want our patients to be as comfortable as possible during any dental procedure, and anesthesia helps ensure that.

While this may seem like a drastic measure to help with dieting, it is not recommended. Wiring your mouth shut can lead to serious health problems, such as malnutrition, and can be dangerous if you experience any choking or breathing difficulties. There are other, healthier ways to manage your diet and maintain good oral health.

As a dentist, I am not qualified to identify dentures that belong to someone else. If you find lost dentures, you may want to try contacting the local authorities or posting about them online to help find the owner.

While it may seem like a romantic gesture to keep a diamond in your tooth, we do not recommend it. Preparing a tooth to hold a diamond can weaken the tooth and increase the risk of infection. Additionally, the diamond may come loose or cause other dental problems.

While you are welcome to your teeth after they have been extracted, we do not recommend making a necklace out of them. Extracted teeth can be a biohazard and may contain bacteria that can cause health problems if not handled properly.

While we do not provide dental care for animals, there are veterinary dentists who specialize in animal dental care. You may want to consult with a veterinarian who can recommend appropriate dental care for your dog.

No, using a chips packet is not a good substitute for floss. Floss is specifically designed to clean between teeth and remove plaque and food debris that can lead to dental problems. Using a chips packet or other non-dental items can damage your teeth and gums, and may not effectively remove plaque and debris.

Floss is a thin, thread-like material that is used to clean between teeth. Floss is not meant to be eaten and is not safe to swallow. Swallowing floss can cause digestive problems and may require medical attention.

It is unlikely that your filling will melt if you drink hot soup. However, it is possible for hot liquids and foods to cause sensitivity or discomfort in teeth with fillings. If you experience any discomfort or pain, it is best to avoid hot foods and drinks until you can speak with your dentist.

Most mouth ulcers are not serious and do not pose a risk of developing into a flesh-eating disease. However, if you are concerned about a mouth ulcer or notice any changes in the ulcer, it is best to see your dentist or doctor for a proper diagnosis.

No, gum disease will not eat your face. However, untreated gum disease can lead to serious dental problems, such as tooth loss and bone loss in the jaw. It is important to seek treatment for gum disease as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

No, it is not okay to only brush your teeth once a week. Brushing your teeth twice a day, along with flossing and regular dental check-ups, is essential for maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems such as cavities and gum disease.

While it may be possible to move a tooth from one area of the mouth to another, it is not always recommended or possible depending on the condition of your teeth and gums. It is best to speak with your dentist about options for replacing missing teeth.

While there are cosmetic treatments that can improve the appearance of a broken tooth, such as bonding or veneers, painting something on top of it is not a recommended solution. Your dentist can evaluate the extent of the damage to your tooth and recommend appropriate treatment options.”
