Sports Fans Can Put the Bite in an All-Woman Dental Practice

I've mentioned this before, I think. I go to a dentist that is quintessential Seattle, aka the land of lattes. It's called Espresso Dental, and it's the Venus of dental practices, consisting of attractive, cheerful, meticulous, expert female staff. I don't know if this is purposeful or just happenstance.
The thing I despise about dentists is that they always harp on the same question: Do you floss regularly? And, you know what? You can't lie to them because your gums will betray you. I guess you could do what I do before a house cleaner visits: I tidy up and throw all of the clutter into a closet. Taking this queue, you could focus on flossing for a few days prior to the visit to toughen your gums up, but then the little measurements they take to determine gum recession would give you away, too. So, there's just no getting around it. You have to floss. Yes, this message was sponsored by the American Dental Association.
The beautiful thing about Espresso Dental is that they have overhead televisions to distract you. I always request the Food Channel:. This time I watched smiley Rachel Ray preparing a Sicilian eggplant stew while the dental assistant was sandblasting my choppers.
The interesting Sports Widow tidbit for me was that the ladies can't stand it when sports fans come in and request to watch games or sports commentary on the overhead television. It makes me laugh thinking about some fan in the middle of a root canal at a dramatic point in the game. How do they handle that? Alternatively, if a fan gets really obnoxious, those ladies could really inflict some pain, now couldn't they?
Life is a Contact Sport. Don't Forget to Floss.
