addicted to dentist

Can you imagine that I have visited the dentist for twelve times since last month. It's a record in my life for I *seriously* hated dentist when I was child. The dentist hardly touched me since I would be ready to kick if he was approaching ;)

It was the past, anyway. It is different now.
It started from the time when a friend asked me to accompany him to the dentist. I read the magazine about the services that clinic offers while I was waiting for him. I was interested -ouwh, how can I be interested in something related to teeth stuffs? or maybe my Japanese was that bad so that I mis-interpret the magazine? But anyway, I made the appointment to have the dentist checked my teeth. And from here the story began that I kept seeing him at least 2-3 times a week.

Does Japanese dentist have a "charm"?? :-)
No wonder dentists here are like everywhere! My dentist is 3 minutes walk to the north from the station, and on the way there, I can see three other dental clinics!

What I like from my dentist here -or the doctor here, is that he explains what happened to my tooth very clearly that one day he even came out with the huge tooth picture to tell me about the anatomy of the tooth! -reminding me to those days in elementary school when we had like "tooth day" *Ouch, you cannot imagine how much I hated that* He also tells what and how he is going to do that. It is nice, really, one of the things that I cannot have from the dentist in my country, unless it is I who is proactive to throw questions.

So, that's it. Really hope my dentist in my country read this blog that he will not tell anymore that I have a dentist-phobia, to anybody whom he thinks has relation to me :d
That's true, at my first day in uni four years ago, I met a new friend -who is unfortunately my dentist's nephew, and suddenly he said, "Oh, so you are Desiree who is afraid of the dentist!" What a good start to build a friendship ;)
