Best dentist visit ever

So I hate going to the dentist... always have, but it's gotten worse over the years. Probably why I've had so many problems that probably could have been fixed with regular maintenance instead of expensive and traumatic repair (ugh... let that be a lesson - break the cycle of fear and procrastination before it gets you).

Anyhow, things have gotten better over the past year. We've invested a lot in getting me all fixed up, and I've got a really good regular dental office. Finally done with all of the scraping, planing, filling and now tooth-pulling nightmares (other than paying it all off). :)

I just had a follow-up appointment to check on the progress of my dry socket from pulling my wisdom teeth. Maybe the best dental visit I've ever had. The appointment only took a few minutes... Dr. O'Nele showed me everything he was doing in a mirror and explained what everything was and what everything did. I even saw some of my own exposed jawbone... how often can you say that without some kind of severe trauma? Then when the appointment was over he wrote me a check because we had overpaid for the procedure. He actually came in under budget - awesome! :)
