Why did the donut go to the dentist?
To get a filling!
Why This Joke Works
A dental "filling" repairs a damaged tooth โ but a donut "filling" is the jam, cream, or custard inside. The donut visiting the dentist for what is literally its own defining feature is a beautiful loop of circular logic that makes the joke feel inevitable.
