Less dirty
Studying
This afternoon I visited my dentist.
“Do you remember the woman with the scarf who used to be my assistant?” he asked.
“Yes,” I answered.
“She is now studying to become a dentist.”
He said it with a sense of pride.
I opened my mouth and after fifteen minutes the dentist declared: “It’s less dirty than last time.”

What a horrible picture.
Needles, I hate them. But for some reason I do not fear the dentist. What I cannot see … etcetera.
lees net je boek Grunberg rond de wereld. Nu was het even de tandarts in Amsterdam. Ben benieuwd wat het wordt: Gibraltar waar je degelijk ondergoed en geruite petten kunt kopen of Birma waar de doodstraf veel wordt toegepast.
You should get a dentist in NY.
This is disgusting. My sister is a dentist, I guess she's even more repressed than I am.
I like dentists. I've tried a couple in my lifetime, b ut I always retreat to the one I started with. Once I had a dentist who worked for free. He worked quickly and looked very clean; Due to this man I almost lost a tooth.

That's funny. I also hate needles but I am not afraid of the dentist.
I think needles in your veins are unnatural. Pain is natural.

Why don't you allow readers to leave comments on your blog?

Because it blocks me.

I'm sorry to hear it does.

Yes, needles in veins are my absolute horror too. I even faint when I see one in another person.
