Adventure in the Dentist's Chair

Before you start to read this journal entry, the man in this photo is NOT ME.  My regular dentist referred me to a periodontist who specializes in gum diseases.  Today I went to see the specialist in Forest Hills for a deep cleaning.  She injected me with an anesthetic and worked with an assistant to clean my teeth.  We all know that the experiences in the dental chair are not the most pleasant.  However, both the dentist and the assistant who were women were talking about buying dresses and shoes for a wedding.  I had to sit there as a captive listening to girl talk. Oy Vey!
