Nitrous Oxide and the Universal Truth
I hate dental hygienists!!!
This afternoon, as I'm laying back high as a kite on nitrous oxide (what can I say, I have a low pain threshold), I can taste blood in my mouth as she is working on my teeth.
As I am listening to Vladimir Ashkenazy perform the Mozart Piano Concerto # 15, I’m wondering, “Is there a truth to the universe? One universal truth? Will I have to be dead to see it?”
I taste more blood in my mouth. She stops and asks one of the most perplexing questions that I think must be a test of some kind, “Do you have any sensitive areas?”

I have a GREAT dentist. I have been seeing this guy since 1984, and I dread the day he decides to retire. He tells you up front what your problem is, how he is going to fix it, and what you can expect once the work has been done. While he is working on you he tells you what he is doing, when you might feel a little pain or whatever... he's just fantastic.
But, more than being a great dentist, he hires a great staff as well. Never have I encountered such a friendly and helpful office staff. And his hygienist works like he does in that she describes what she is doing etc.
Probably none you'd want to use nitrous oxide on...
