Well, someone has to do it...
I was right... nothing wrong with my teeth :-D so there is nothing to say about the dentist, who just smiled a lot and said "very good." The hygenist was another story - she did the brushy scrapy filey thing (as usual) and I shouted "I PROMISE TO FLOSS!" in the middle of it (as usual) etc.
When she had finished, she said "This is not your favourite place, is it?"
"No." I replied. She smiled to herself.
"Do you like your job?" I asked, suddenly wondering how someone could actually like doing brushy scrapy filey things to other people's mouths all day.
"Oh!" she looked a bit embarrassed. "Oh. Yes, I do actually... I've been doing this job for 19 years!"
Me: :-O "19 years?! Blimey."
Her: "Yes. I deserve a medal, don't I?!"
Too right!!
