Get the swelling down before you see the oral surgeon. I thought the idea was that if the swelling was up that meant you really needed to see the oral surgeon because infection is bad.
Leaving aside Lynn's super predictable failure to understand that dentists take the holidays off too,
When my wife worked for an ENT there was an understanding that people in the industry got preferential treatment. While you are correct dentists take holidays, John would probably call in a favor.
When you get right down to it, Mike has never had the best Christmases. When he isn't absorbing hypocritical lectures about materialism, he gets talked into shoplifting by a boy looking for someone to feel superior to, lectured about how he never listens by his assbucket father
Now that I know the context of strip #2 (appropriate number) I don't understand why Michael is expected to appreciate sleeping on a floor and shitting in a bucket. Even a crummy motel would have a bed and a toilet.
The idiot woman dragging him away from home watches too much television, that's why. She expected a candy land where everyone was filled with glee. She got shitting into a honey bucket and in-laws who troll her by threatening to barge in on her.
Another punchline that doesn't really work; I assume John meant "at least this is happening while you are back home and can get a quick diagnosis from your dentist father." But mentioning the holiday is dumb. Also, shouldn't John be on the phone pulling strings with colleagues to get his son a emergency appointment? Otherwise, what is even the point? Does Lynn not even understand how serious an infected tooth can be?

Well, now that she's no longer married to a dentist and can't get preferential treatment, she finally does.
