There may be some blood
Dentists, eh? Don't yer jus' love 'em? This morning, A****** was still going on about his ear hurting (the same one . . . erm . . . right?!) so as he had been saying this for four or five days, we took him to the doctor. The doctor saw a bit of inflammation related to a recent spell of tonsillitis but that can easily be treated with ibuprofen or similar. So that done, I went back to work and was picked up at 10:40 for our family outing to the dentist. As usual the dentist was a foreigner (or, to be more precise, had a foreign accent), as usual I had never seen this dentist before and, as usual, their patient manner was completely different to the last dentist. It always seems to be a bit random, visits to the dentist. I explained the gum recession that started and largely abated many, many moons ago. "But have you got sensitive teeth?" she asked, "No, they're fine," I said, which may been the wrong answer. The dentist then got to work ensuring that whether I had sensitive teeth or not, she would draw blood and inflict a respectable amount of pain and discomfort, focusing on the area around the four, lower front teeth. A******'s teeth were barely checked . . . just a quick check inside his mouth and he got a Spiderman sticker. I didn't even get a mouthwash at the end of it all. Grrrrrr. See you again in six months for more of the same, although of course it'll be a different dentist by then.
