ok, your teeth are done...

...would you like some botox now? get rid of those crows feet...?

what the fuck?
i went and saw my gal martha the other day - world's greatest dental hygienist - and while i was getting my teeth done i noticed that there were little botox advertising boxes on display on the ledge near the window. i asked martha what was up and she said zenon, my dentist - and a guy i have known for well over 25 years - is now doing injections. at the office. the dentist office. teeth don't need botox as far as i can tell. she said, after i made a few comments about it, that because zenon does a lot of cosmetic dentistry, he just thought it went hand in hand. that some who are getting crap done to their teeth may want a little touch up with a needle full of botox at the same time. agai i say, what the fuck? am i going to a dentist or a hollyweird spa that happens to do some oral stuff as well.
as it turns out i may need another gold crown and will set-up my appointment and get it done but, i may have to move on. i want a dentist that just does teeth. period. zenon's a great guy and he's always treated me well, i have no complaints, well, i do have one but i think it's a complaint many have with dentists in general - they just scoot in and out and look a little at whatever the hygienists have been doing and then bolt out again. they make a lot of money for just saying hello. and i guess i just want the one who's saying hello to be looking at my teeth and not my wrinkles and thinking how he can fix them.
that's that.
ok. three lawns done this morning and now i'm gonna head off to get a nice new tattoo...everyone needs a new tattoo...

more as it develops.
