I went to the dentist yesterday, wanna see?

After about 6 years of just "not bothering", I finally called up the ol' dentist's office and made an appointment. There aren't any problems, I just figured I was overdue for a cleaning/polishing.
Things have changed in there... now they got this full panoramic x-ray machine. You stick your melon inside a clear plastic box, and the scanner rotates around you, it was pretty nifty. And those little chunks of sharp cardboard that they make you bite on for the up-close x-ray don't hurt like they used to. Inside the checkup area there was an entire wall covered in Polaroid pictures, all of sub-12-year-old kids, all grinning big toothy smiles, and each was labeled with their name and "No cavities!". Big deal. I was gonna ask to get my picture taken for the wall, I'd put all those woosie kids to shame... "Jeffrey, age 27, No Cavities, EVER!!"
