I have a very good dentist right now, probably among the best I ever had. He is so very caring of patients and his staff. He is close to retirement, though, I think.

He is so good that even discovered I had some sinus problems in 2002, something a dentist I saw before didn't catch when I complained about pain in my mouth.

I only wish I had dental insurance to cover a gold crown job, but he understands that I cannot have it done now. I feel pretty bad that I can't, because I like him a lot.

Most of the dentists on the local HMO plan appeared to be of the Asian kind.

Among the best?...How many have you had?...

That's the way it seems...

My dentist...who had his office in a reformed basement for 30 years...just moved into a business building with 2 Asians so they can share costs and patients...

How many dentist have I had? 5

1. A child dentist, who is also a neighbor in a cul-de-sac. Saw him only once
2. My parent's dentist, whom I saw for about 30 years
3. The quack dentist - for a year, 4 visits. I went back to dentist #2
4. The dentist that took over dentist #2 when #2 retired.
5. Am seeing this one now, when I quit dentist #4. He is the same one who discovered my sinus problems from x-rays.

.................... and, waiting in the wing is my dentist's dentist, who will take over the practice when my dentist retires. My dentist's dentist takes care of my dentist. After all, how can a dentist fix his own cavity with a filling or a crown?

You go through dentists like Elizabeth Taylor goes through husbands...

Or Henry VIII went through wives...

Ummm...

You need to speed up your use of dentists to catch up.

Eight husbands, she had. So I am not that close.

Husbands of Elizabeth Taylor

I had my dentist appointment yesterday. Thirty-one and still no cavities to date. And umm...that zoom whitening treatment. Yeah, about that....it takes one hour and I swear it shaves 3-5 years off your appearance. I look like a 25 year old again. Plus its fun blinding everyone with your smile.
