My Kind of Dentistry

I don't know of anyone who enjoys going to the dentist. For me, it's an unpleasant, but necessary, nuisance twice a year for cleanings. I take good care of my teeth, and it's been years (maybe 20+?) since I've had to do anything more. However, a cavity was found when I had my teeth cleaned a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday was the appointment for the filling. Here's the timeline:
  • 12: 56 - Arrived for 1 p.m. appointment
  • 1:00 - Escorted to "the chair"
  • 1:01 - Dentist began working
  • 1:17 - Dentist finished working
  • 1:19 - Checked out at the desk
  • 1:26 - Returned home.
Really now, if you must endure an unpleasant experience, then surely it should be made as brief as possible. Thank you, Dr. Pitts! (That really is his name, by-the-way.)
