Dental Services Area

"Steinman, I know Medical Pavilion is your manor, but you might want to cogitate on this: ocean water is colder than a witch's tit. You don't heat the pipes, the pipes freeze. Pipes freeze, pipes burst. Then Rapture leaks."

- Bill McDonagh

The Dental Services Area or Dentals is the lower level of the Medical Pavilion. Several dental offices were in competition here.

Jack must come here to locate the "free sample" of Telekinesis advertised by Dandy Dental to unblock the wreckage in Dr. Steinman's Aesthetic Ideals.

History
Citizens could come down here in the ongoing battle against tooth decay and have their pick of three dentist offices: Dandy Dental, Chomper's Dental, and Painless Dental.

A Kure-All was also positioned here for other minor surgeries.

However, the area would fall into disrepair with freezing ocean water leaking into the examination rooms. Though warned by Bill McDonagh, Dr. Steinman's increasingly deteriorating mental state forestalled attempts at repairs and maintenance of the pipes. Eventually the pipes burst, blocking the entrance with ice.

BioShock
After encountering the Nitro Splicer in Dr. Steinman's Aesthetic Ideals, Atlas suggests finding Telekinesis to clear the wreckage. An advertisement in the surgery wing offers a free sample with any root canal in Dandy Dental.

The lower level of the Medical Pavilion leading to Dental Services contains a Circus of Values and a Supply closet. The passageway is blocked with ice and must be melted. Fortunately, Incinerate! can be scavenged from Eternal Flame Crematorium.

Supply
The door is initially locked, but can be opened with Electro Bolt. Several sundries are found inside, with a rare Automatic Hack Tool on the desk.

Some Pistol Rounds can be found in the planter by the door.

Atrium
After defrosting the ice, a Thuggish Splicer attempts to ambush Jack. He is quickly put down with the gurney cart providing some Bandages. The Kure-All looks into the central atrium.

The center of the tiled floor rests a corpse brutally stabbed with dissecting scissors. It is brightly illuminated by a fallen clock and a Vita-Chamber, highlighting a Shotgun and some ammo.

Picking up the shotgun will cause the lights to go out momentarily with the gates slamming shut. Suddenly, the central chandelier flickers on and Jack is ambushed by splicers. However, his new weapon helps to dispatch them easily, turning on the lights and opening the gates.
