Do any of you folks go to Corner Dental? I get the name. Yeah. They’re supposed to be like the family dentist office down on the corner where your Grandma went as a kid. Well, they’re not on the corner. They’re located in strip centers. Top notch strip centers. But they’re not even on the corner of the strip center. I’m told they like to up charge, selling you services you don’t need. Ouch!
Back in the 20th century, the dentists took a different direction. Rather than charge you for work you didn’t need, they did the work you needed but tried to cut corners on the cost. I had a cavity once back in ‘81, and the dentist just started drilling. No Novocain. No mention of it. When I asked him about it afterwards, he said, “You didn’t want to go back work numb, did you?” Hmmm…
Friday was Veteran’s Day. Thanks to those who served. I bet there was no Novocain in the army back in the 20th century. Those drill sergeants just had at it.
