No Laughing Matter....
Today, I go to the dentist. I have had a phobia about dentists every since I was a young girl and had to go to the town dentist, Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith was old and grouchy and did not have a good way of making a scared child feel better. My bad experiences with Dr. Smith ruined me for life about getting regular check ups.
As an adult, I know that dental hygiene is so important and regular check-ups are essential in order for me to keep my own teeth as long as possible. Okay, so I know, I get it, but I still dread it, hate it.... It's like pulling hen's teeth to get me there! Ugh!
So, while I am laying there, all gassed up and happy, I will be thinking of the tooth fairy and how rich I won't be once my teeth are fixed!

Does anyone like the dentist?
May the tooth fairy be very generous! What a sweet little picture--the second one, not the first one.
You have another award over at my place...

Katie LOVES to go to the dentist. She is always happy and giggly, even before she gets there. It's a good thing, too... kid's getting braces after the New Year.
Hope Chuck brings you back lots of good stuff from England!

Update: I had a little problem with the tooth that was worked on but with a huge dose of laughing gas, I got through it. Good news is that I didn't have to have a root canal. :oD

A.Bananna: No, I didn't giggle but I was pretty darn happy! When I left, Dr. C told me, "for someone who fears and hates going to the dentist, you are an excellent patient!" I told him that was because "I am a Wyoming Woman!" LOL
