Went to the dentist yesterday for a filling. My usual dentist was busy squeezing out a bambino, so a locum was in place. He was an older guy, retired from his own practice but helps out at various practices to pick up extra cash and to stay sharp.
He was OK but slow as hell, and wanted to explain every tiny little thing. I had to make it clear to him that I don't need a play by play, just pop that filling in there and let me get back to my office!
I've met some idiot dentists and some good ones, like any other profession. My wife is afraid of the dentist and had to be knocked out to have her wisdom teeth out in August. She's OK with the sedation, so for anything other than cleanings she might go that way again. Me? I hardly need novocaine (or whatever they use these days) for many procedures.
