Went to the Dentist


Went to the dentist just before because I cracked one of my teeth. I havent had a checkup in 2 years and straight off the bat, the dentist says "Hi Nathan!, havent seen you in a while, are you still working at woolworths?(where i was working 2 years ago)" i was like huh? wtf.. I didnt expect him to even recognise me because he'd have so many customers. Now I know he may have these details somewhere in a file or whatever but this was impressive to say the least. What a champion, he just gained a loyal patient for life.

I like going to the dentist, I remember as a kid always being really excited I was going because 1. I'd get to miss out on a lesson or two of school and get to rub it in to the other kids and more importantly 2. i'd get to sit in the waiting room which the walls were covered with the most exciting pictures and illustrations, cartoons, the lot. Id sit down, breathe in deeply the dentist fumes and just soak up all the visual eye candy my little overactive imagination could handle. The dentist I went to tonight was more of an "Adult" dentistry place. So paintings which have clearly been selected to "relax" anxious patients have replaced the colourful cartoons of "Jimmy the Rabbit that enjoys eating vegetables".

I remember going to Madison Park Primary Dentist, I assume that it was the same one you used to go too, some Tyndale thing. Those posters were intense, I remember looking at all the crazy deformed teeth and thinking, 'oh crap, im screwed, i didnt brush my teeth last week'!!!!

The good oldays hey nate.


Hope your well.

Over and Out
Mark
