Gentle Dental

Today, I drove home and I noticed that on brookhurst and lincoln, there is a dental spot called "Gentle Dental." Tell me that isn't the most awesomest name for a dental clinic. 

For the record, I absolutely hate dentists. I hate them... dentists and anyone else associated with them. The past couple times that I've showed up for a dentist appointment in the past year were unpleasant and nightmarish. The personal assistants who strive to be a dentist in the long run are always clueless and stupid, all they know and care about is the minimal tasks they're required of that fall under their work description and nothing else. For example, the assistant takes the x-rays of your teeth and you ask a question such as, "oh, how do my teeth look?" or, "are my wisdom teeth coming out yet?" they answer with, "oh, i'm sorry you'll have to ask the denist when he gets to you in a moment." Wtf. You know how to take the x-rays but you can't read em. I'm sure you learned that shit in dental school dumbnut, now I gotta wait a half an hour sitting all by lonesome just for an answer/opinion. You strive to be a dentist yet you know squat. How bout the financial advisor that the dentist provides for you.. one word, bullshit. They screw you like hinges. "Oh hey there! looks like you need a lot of work done.. blah blah here are your options: 1) I can lie to you and tell you that your teeth are going to fucking rot in hell if you decide not to go through with the operation 2) You can let me squeeze as much money as I can out of you AND your insurance 3) If you don't have the money, you can apply for our low interest credit card with no APR for the first 6 months!!..... Why, oh why would I need a credit card strictly for dental work? Dentists, you are the bullshitter of all bullshit. The three magic words are, "We're almost done." Recently, I got ONE lousy wisdom tooth removed and it took a whole hour and a half for them to chip away at it. Long story short, it was a premature operation to remove one wisdom tooth for the sake of using up the money you are granted each year by your insurance before the money becomes expendable and your term re-ups.

I don't even want to go into detail. I'm tired, buzzed and can't finish.

Anyways, Gentle Dental sounds like a dentist I would go to. I wonder if you live up to your name.

Floss kids.
