The Smile Division

Dentists are my worst nightmare, so every time I see one, I cringe. This one is no different, but I’ve had the seemingly unfortunate chance to experience their services.
I made an appointment for scaling here just after I quit smoking recently. I was so afraid, it’s unbelievable. I felt like a kid walking into a haunted house. The lady behind the counter was friendly and gave me the usually forms to fill out.
After what seemed like forever (10 minutes) I was called in to the dentist’s office. I explained my sheepish habits to him as he looked at me unaffected. After checking my teeth he said they are quite well taken care of for a smoker’s set of teeth. I breathed a sigh of relief as he started scraping and polishing away. After half an hour and a promise to him that I will not smoke again, I left feeling so clean in my mouth that I almost didn’t want to have lunch.
