The dental hygienist comes in and does the cleaning.
Ultrasonic cleaner, scraping, polishing, flossing, rinse--all sort of routine.
Next the dentist comes in--looks this side, that side, bite, bite again, looks some more.
Then sort of out of the blue, the dentist goes to me:
"You got some nice chompers!"
Ah, never quite heard anyone say that before or quite the way this dentist said it.
Uh, a little strange sounding and feeling a little uncomfortable.
I go out and tell me wife about this weird thing.
And I start laughing and going...
"Doctor, you got some nice chompers there too!"
Somehow the way I said it, we both cracked up laughing.
I'll never think of going to get my teeth cleaned at the dentist quite the same way again. ;-)
