Jonathan CJ Jun, DDS

Researcher Steven Stack writes that a dentist’s odds of suicide «are 6.64 times greater than the rest of the working age population.» According to Richard A. Koris, the TV show Seinfeld repeats an urban legend which claims that dentists have the highest suicide rate of any profession. This is FALSE. The American Dental Association, which did an actual study on the subject, found the rate among dentists is about the same as the population as a whole.
Nevertheless, I know quite a few dentists, and the profession to me looks STRESSFUL. I mean you’re dealing with someone’s mouth, teeth, and nerves all compressed in a small amount of space. It’s no wonder that dentists are clowned for only working 4 days a week. Well, the ones I know seem to be working all the time.
I love my teeth so I don’t want just anyone messing with them. I need someone I can trust, who won’t over charge my insurance or rape me when it comes to the bill. As long as I can remember as a child, I’ve been coming to Dr. Jun and Cecilia. They’re about as real as they can get when it comes to good people. They actually care about your well being and joke with me all the time. «When are you going to get married Chris?»
When I leave Dr. Jun’s office after a cleaning, I’m ready to french kiss. I’ve never seen my teeth more cleaner or whiter, unless I’m getting them bleached. I’ve had a root canal done, which was uncomfortable, but done in record time with the least amount of pain. «Give Me Novacaine» — Green Day. Top wisdom teeth pulled, I’m ready for the bottom set to go.
I’ll get nervous and anxious when Dr. Jun retires. Maybe then, you might actually see me sweat.
