Feb. 7th, 2011 12:32 pmI'm seeing my dentist on February 14. Just as well neither of us is Christian...
My other dentist has left suddenly and they were going to give me over to the care of someone I had never met - I insisted on the other dentist because he is the one of whom the peridontist spoke in awe (and he terrifies me, but teeth are important and it was all kinds of wrong to be the only person in my crowd who *enjoyed* going to the dentist*). Since I've been going to this dental practice for 20 years, they were really nice about it.
*childhood memories are everything. Give me charge of a child at the dentist's and they'll be as happy as me about going. Or as happy as I was. Why am I so intimidated by the new guy? He's a brilliant dentist, though, and my teeth are problematic, so I'm happy to have him.
