Is there a course in dentistry that teaches dentists how to understand their patients? Here’s a recent conversation while the doctor had his fingers in my mouth. Dr.: How are you today? Me: ayne Dr.: How old is your daughter now? Me: ai – hee Dr.: Nineteen, huh? Where is she going to college? Me: oo ah eh hee hee uh ahn heee eh oh Dr.: Ahhh University of San Diego! Good school! What’s she majoring in? Me: ubh hol ay-or, eee eh ah anh an ih Dr. Ito: Oh, double major, eh? Business and Spanish. Good for her! Dr. Ito is a fantastic dentist with a jovial manner. He really looks out for you and doesn’t recommend unnecessary procedures just so that he can make his Mercedes payment. JK! I don’t know if he owns a Mercedes. His office staff are terrific too. They always have the gas(nitrous) fired up and ready for me when I come in for teeth cleaning. I like the freebie toothbrush, toothpaste and travel size dental floss that he gives out after the cleaning.
