Choosing Wisely

There are several important aspects that must be considered when choosing a dentist.  For me, he or she has to have a certain charismatic trait that keep me entertained while my teeth are being examined.  Sitting in that chair can get exceptionally boring and if I don't have a dentist that can counter that, then I am doomed to an hour of misery and fluoride.  I recently found a dentist in Provo, Utah that I have been pretty pleased with, but I went through some pretty traumatizing experiences before I found the perfect fit.  A couple years ago, when I had my wisdom teeth removed, I found myself in a great deal of pain weeks later...which I soon realized was not normal.  Upon returning to the dentist, I was told that I had a bit of bone that had surfaced in the gap.  That in and of itself sounds terrible and I found myself fearing this man who called himself my dentist.  He pulled out some exceptionally large pliers and told me to open wide.  The next fifteen minutes was pure torture.  No other way to describe it.  He dug and twisted and pinched until he was satisfied with his work.  The back of my mouth was sore for another three weeks.
