Between My Dentist and Me

"Why do people not know when there breath is bad?" I asked my dentist one day. He glanced at me over my dental x-rays and said "Often they are not aware and some just fear coming to the dentist perhaps for financial reasons..." "No," I interrupt "I 'm not talking about those people who cannot afford services. I meet people who have this problem and they could afford crowns every week if necessary. No, I am referring to those guys who have money but ghastly, almost putrid breath."

Now under this was a tiny bit of sarcasm and self-preservation because this particular dentist has worked on me with strongs hints of lunch on his breath. Again I reiterate my conversation with Dr DDS that: it is not unwashed teeth from morning breakfast that I questioned him about; I wanted to know about the people who really are unaware of the odor that permeates their mouths and the air around them.

"Perhaps they just get used to the smell since it probably comes along slowly developing into full blown dental problems and the concimitant offensive odor problem." he resounded with fury. "Concimitant - Whew! Nice word. Yeah I guess that's it doc." Breath like that slowly creeps upon them and when we meet or are thrust into encounters the entity is already full blown and horrific.

"Well. Now that we solved that mystery; whats my damage?" I asked flippantly. "Two cavities." he said. "What! Are you #*&@# bleeding kidding me?" I yelled. "Nope, look right here" he pointed to the xrays "these two areas. Hey! How come you couldn't smell 'em?" he laughed as he ushered me out to his hygenist or administrative staff, I don't know which, as I was in a state of shock.

The appointment was made for my two cavities, I returned and at that appointment the only conversation went on in my head - as I discussed what was worse the fact that dear old doc had been eating peanut brittle and had not brushed before his breathing into my captivated nose and mouth or the pain of the dental procedure of filling the holes in my teeth with silver. The bad breath was worse.
