Looking for a new dental plan?

Cleaner shrimps and wrasses are coral reefs' dentists. These critters will service just about any client that wanders into their cleaning stations, and there is a surprisingly number of videos where divers' take advantage of the free dental work. We share three of our favorites.

What do you do when you encounter cleaner shrimps during your dive? Get cleaned, of course!

Cleaner wrasses need dental patients too.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: How many cleaner shrimps does it take to clean a woman?
Oh, and do you see the big moray eel sitting in the next dental chair over? As if dental work wasn't nerve-racking enough ....
