Dentist

Today I went to my crazy crazy dentist to have some small fillings. Right along my gum line on several teeth I have some areas of decalcification that aren't exactly cavities, but they never will be if they go ahead and put filling material in to protect them, so that's what we're doing. Fortunately they require only minimal drilling and don't take long, so that's good and it's not a bad dentist visit. Today was a VERY good dentist visit though, because although he was as wacky as ever, FOR FREE my dentist asked me if I wanted him to smooth out a small chip in one of my front teeth and then smooth the other front tooth down to match and also so they will be more in line with the rest of the teeth. My front teeth were by no means rabbity, but they are larger than the other teeth so I was all for it. Anyway, he had me hold a mirror up while he worked and tell him just where to stop when my teeth were like I wanted them, and then he filled the tiny remaining area of the chip exactly to match my front teeth. And he had the dental assistant buff and polish all the teeth up front. He said he rarely had patients with teeth as straight as mine (which is true, they are naturally very straight) and he just wanted to make my smile really beautiful for my Xmas pictures. I thought that was fabulously nice of him. That sort of cosmetic work is usually pretty expensive, I think. I find myself wanting to smile at everyone now. :-)

Well. Clearly, he must want to get into your pants!

LOL

That's great that you have such a cool dentist.

Hahaha. He'd have to call his wife first. He was telling me today that one of the other dentists asked him to go to a "gentlemen's club" for lunch the other day but he knew he couldn't unless he had permission from his wife and he wasn't going to ask and get her all worked up, lol.

So, what's his name??? Give him some free advertisement!

Dr. Hugh Do. He's on Harvard around 43rd or 44th street. I picked him originally because that's just who my insurance referred me to, but now I've sent my Dad and R because he does such a good job. Even if he is nuttier than a fruitcake.
