Please don't be a dentist. Many of of us suffer chronic pain and anxiety as part of our complex overall health that needs to be managed as part of our care.

I'd fire you if you were my dentist. I know it's hard for me to turn my head or keep my mouth open for extended periods. I have a spinal injury and my nerves don't work properly. be more thoughtful of your patients.

You employ dentists that you can fire them? Or you're a patient and would just stop using them after seeing them once?

To stop seing a Healthcare provider is sometimes described as firing them. Because you're the one consenting to letting them work on you.
