This morning I went back to the dentist to have the permanent crowns put on. I had the first part done 3 weeks ago and I was in pain for the rest of that day. Today I knew there wouldn't be any pain so I wasn't anxious at all. I have to remember though, that I shouldn't make the appointments so early in the morning. My appointment was at 9:00 this morning. That's actually an odd time for my dentist. Usually they make appointments like 8:20 or 2:50. I rarely get one scheduled on the hour. They also usually run on time too, but this morning they were already about 10 minutes behind when I got there at 8:50. Anyone who knows me knows that I arrive early no matter where I'm going. I don't run on gay time for anything…social or otherwise. So anyway, I'm sitting there waiting to be called and I recognize someone who comes in as soon as I sit down. My dentist is in the neighborhood where I teach so it's not unusual for me to run into a parent of student I've had in the past. This guy was one of those parents. I was going to just enjoy the latest issue of Architectural Digest but instead I sat and chatted with him for a few minutes. Luckily before we ran out of things to talk about I was called for my appointment. I hate running into parents outside of school. There's nothing to talk about except their kids. Anyway, I went in, sat down, and they began putting the permanent crowns on. It only took a few minutes and the bite was fine. My cute dentist was looking good today. Too bad I wasn't having nitrous oxide or I could have felt him up again. I'm finished with the dentist until next June.
