I prefer to use "the boss". It avoids all confusion. Note the lack of capitalisation which denotes the fact that Bruce Springsteen and I have never met.

Does he know that?

He may need his dental records to be sure

I use "she who must be obeyed", but that dates me.
The difficult takes time, the impossible a little longer.

I seem to get away with showing my Freedom Pass (bus pass to non-Londoners). It has my name and a photo and an official looking number. Keeps them happy.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Checked - all they need is 2 pieces of photo identity & 1 proof of address, or 1 photo identity & 2 proofs of address, before the contract starts. They are also supposed to meet the person face-to-face as well, but they have ways round that.
This is for compliance with NHS supplier status requirements.

Creepy... Why would they want your dental records? Are they planning on faking your death? Because that sounds like a completely different industry.

Or maybe, OP's planning to fake his own death and collect the insurance. This post is his alibi.

How many gold fillings do you have?

Is it to get an idea of how wealthy your dentist has become at your expense?

Dental records? Really?
Sounds odd to me.

A UK thing maybe?

I think that may have been him lapsing into ironic exaggeration to hammer home his point of excessive identification requirements.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Wouldn't there be a lot of people in the UK who don't have dental records? I may be confused about that.

Just because they don't have teeth doesn't mean they don't have dental records. 
Perhaps in the UK you carry them with you.
