If you floss regularly your gums won’t bleed, source: me. My gums never bleed at the dentist, but they used to when I sucked more at dental self-care.
For the X-ray example, think about it this way: the doctor is like a bartender. One drink isn’t going to hurt you. The bartender can definitely serve you one drink. But if the bartender had to drink a part of a drink every time they served someone, that would become pretty dangerous for them indeed.
Many people can’t floss. Me personally, I got experimental orthodontics in the '80s and they filed between my teeth and flossing has been excruciating ever since. I still have all of my teeth though, minus two wisdom teeth that were removed to create space (it wasn’t enough space)
Backwards? There is nothing backwards about these memes.
The cow is backwards

I’m not sure many people were dental guinea-pigs though. Sucks that you got fucked by it though.
