The dentist plays the piano

There is no name for a female Dentist or I would gladly use it.
Even when there’s nothing toothingly wrong I obediently visit my dentist regularly like a good boy.
Good humouredly she pushes me in the chair.
Tips it over backwards.
Ties a bib around my neck.
Blinds me with a halogen lamp and starts her work.
She has a cheerful conversation, but does not really expect an answer, because I can’t say anything with her tools sticking into my mouth.
In the background I can hear soothing music.
Fiddling between my teeth she hums along. That means she is pleased.

When I have rinsed my mouth she tells me she likes to play the piano.
It relaxes her after a busy day in the practice.
When her fingers run over the ivory key tops, she often thinks about herself playing her patients teeth.

She often wonders if she should not treat her white piano keys, because in some places she can detect some key top tartar.

 

 

 

 

Her five-year-old daughter is a serious danger to the keyboard.
When she plays the piano she not only uses her little fingers, but also wooden blocks.
She likes the sound of it.
In one of those attacks a piece of the ivory key top has broken off.
Not a lot of damage, but enough to be reminded of, every time she plays the piano, that used to belong to her grandmother.
I know the feeling every time I go over my teeth with my tong
My Dentist tells me that in case of small accidents, for instance when children drop off their piano stools, bits of the tooth can break off.
Nowadays she can put a broken piece of the tooth back again.
She glues the broken bit to the remaining tooth. That often looks better than filling it with composite. Also it works quicker because the piece will fit exactly.
One has to act quickly to save a broken tooth and to prevent infections.
You have to save the bit that has broken off in a glass with your own saliva and run to a Dentist.

Nice piece of restoration work.
