Content note: This story is not for those who dislike dentists!

I’m not someone who dislike dentists (I worshipped my childhood dentist, who pulled 11 of my teeth and yet I still always looked forward to seeing him!), which means that I whole-heartedly enjoyed this story of someone waiting in the dentist’s to have an aching tooth removed. It was one part horror and one part humor and the two parts fed into each other beautifully. Gold star to Walsh for this one!
