If I have to have pain, I always like someone cute to cause it.

Actually, I was VERY impressed with this new endodontist. He even took x-rays during the procedure which never happened previously with my other 2 root canals. My last one was in '96, so procedures have probably improved since that time. The dentist was younger than my older son, but cute, nonetheless. :roll: I saw on his wall that he graduated summa cum laude from dental school which added to my confidence level b/4 he started on me and also during the procedure. I told him that I recognized his itelligence, and he was quite humble about it. Dental school is quite rigorous, and it is dfficult to enter. The husband of my hair stylist was in the same dental school, had to repeat his first year, and then dropped out during his second year while incurring lots of debt (naturally). Thanks for the update on the Grump. Be good and be well!
