To Tell The Tooth


Do I need to say that it's a bit disconcerting when the dental assistant, while attempting to place a temporary crown, keeps muttering and swearing under her breath?

"Shit!"
"Jesus!" when she dropped the crown for the fourth time towards the back of my throat.

At one point she used her gloved hands to pull back her sleeves. So much for sterile.

Meanwhile, in the two plus hours I was in the chair, I read the latest Smithsonian cover to cover. Interesting article about forensic astronomy there.
