I don't understand how some people can casually make trips to the dentist and it's no big deal.   I am so resistant to the idea and have been avoiding getting a tooth fixed for waaaay to long.   I have a cracked veneer that needs to be replaced with an implant.   This morning while I was on the air I was distracted by my impending  appointment that was looming over me like a dark shadow of despair.

I know when I wrenched open the door at Harrison Dental over on Hill Road this morning I looked less than thrilled to be there.  I was actually quite surprised that I didn't turn around and run right back out the door.  The staff was really understanding about my reluctance and hesitation and didn't rush me on any of the decisions that I needed to make and offered up some great ideas for my next appointment.   I informed them that a dental practice back east has started offering free wine to nervous patients and it's tripled their business.   I don't think they took me seriously, so I offered to bring some wine and a copy of the news story with me to my next appointment in a few weeks.
