So yeah. Our long time dentist retired. Like most dental offices, you didn’t get to talk to him much. After the hygienist cleaned your teeth and took x-rays, he’d come in, look at your x-rays, maybe look in your mouth, and maybe ask about your family or church or something. But this was never how he dealt with our younger son. The dentist repeatedly over the years took the time to urge him to get a job so he could “get off his dad’s dental insurance”. This always struck us as odd, since one, our son was like 20 at the time this started, two, he was on his mother’s plan, not mine, and three, the dentist never said this to our older son, who was also on his mother’s dental plan.
Based on the fact that both sons now have their own dental insurance, I’m gonna conclude that the dentist’s insurance comments or lack thereof had no bearing on either of them getting dental insurance. Maybe this was some weird experiment or something. If I see him again, should I ask him if he’s on his son’s dental insurance now that he’s retired? That’s tempting…
Hopefully his retiring will not leave a cavity in my life…
