Best dentist's office EVER

I have been meaning to find us all a new dentist ever since we moved back here. I have been putting it off and putting it off, because I adored our last dentist office in the old town. You'd walk in there and they'd know you and call you by name, ask how the kids are doing, and just joke with people. It was like going to see friends instead of going to the dentist. We were supposed to have appts. with them in early December, but I called and cancelled them because I wasnt in the mood to drive 45 minutes north to get our teeth cleaned. I felt so guilty telling them we would be going somewhere else...but that no one would ever live up to what we had there :)

Then... I got this popcorn kernel stuck in my gums about 1 1/2 weeks ago, and it was really getting annoying. So this kind of sped up the dentist- finding job ahead of me. I went to 1-800-dentist. They had nothing. they had 2 offices about 30 minutes away from here. Yeah, right. So I just did a general search and all of the local offices popped up. Wow...how do you just blindly pick a dentist out of a list on the internet? Maybe yesterday was my day to play the lottery, because I found the most AWESOMIST office yet. The people seemed to have almost as much potential to be as cool as the old place, but the other perks were waaaayy better...

First of all, I love the hygenist- super nice and she got the "ginormous" (as she put it) popcorn kernel out of my gums. That right there was enough for me to love her forever :) (KIDDING) But then imagine sitting down on the softest fanciest real leather reclining chair. Then imagine it giving you a vibrating back and leg massage as you are getting your teeth cleaned. Oh, no. I am not done yet. They actaully give you a warm herbal neckwrap and let you pick from your choice of a few good things on TV (flat panel). Holy cow. I laughed and said I felt more like I was at the spa than the dentist. Totally gonna get spoiled here :) Then on my way out, they took a picture of me so they can put it in their computer, so when I go in again, they remember my face. So, they spoil the crap out of people and TRY to get to know everyone and remember who they are.

As Annie put it... "I think I'm gonna  like it here! "
