Oh, boy. \u00a0Dental\u00a0hygiene\u00a0appointment this morning. \u00a0Met Stacey at Metro Dental. My first time there. \u00a0We switched from Centennial Dental in Edina this summer after Kate retired. \u00a0Going to this outfit, which is in a small open plan mall near Round Lake and Highway 10, knocks about an hour + off the trip and visit time. \u00a0Much better.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Though there is a difference. \u00a0In the waiting room at Centennial I felt young. \u00a0The canes, blue hair and walkers of the morning appointment crowd reflect, I’m sure, the location nearby of more than one senior retirement center. \u00a0Here in Anoka the lobby had toddlers, teen-agers and young adults. \u00a0Mostly.<\/p>\n
Another difference. \u00a0Country music played lightly in the background. \u00a0Centennial had Bach and Mozart, that sort of thing. \u00a0I’m happier with the classical music, but for an hour, I can deal.<\/p>\n
Now I have to go back in November and have one tooth, a problem root canal on my lower set, planed and scaled. \u00a0Sounds like something to be done in a woodshop then passed over to the fish cleaner. \u00a0The hygienist mentioned a cavitronic. \u00a0I assume it cavitates, but it sounds pretty close to cavity. Still, I trust they’re not in the business of promoting cavities.<\/p>\n
(cavitron<\/a>)<\/p>\n Dr. Lugo, the dentist who examined me, looked like he might be old enough for a Big Wheel, but in spite of that he seemed to know what he was doing.<\/p>\n This was the kickoff to a medical week for me with the hernia repair coming on Thursday. \u00a0Big fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fall \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Harvest Moon Oh, boy. \u00a0Dental\u00a0hygiene\u00a0appointment this morning. \u00a0Met Stacey at Metro Dental.
