If You’re Happy and You Know It

What My Dentist Taught Me

What My Dentist Taught Me

​​ I hate going to the dentist. Actually hate isn’t a strong enough word; it’s more like I find the dentist office experience equates nicely to a trip to hell for me. I get really nervous, my palms get sweaty and l uncontrollably Iaugh at jokes that aren’t funny when...
