`Apparently, It was dentist day at CoffeeCrew`.

People get into `the chair` on a regular basis... I live in B.C., Veronica in Ontario. That two senior people from this website would both be at the dentist at the same time is, well, wierd! --colin

As he sat in the otherwise conservative waiting room, Colin was taken by the plethora of postcards displayed on a bulletin board. Patients felt compelled to send their dentist a postcard of their world travels. "Here I am, my new bridge intact, kissing the Blarney Stone". The dentist apparently leads a Walter Mitty existence wherein he is the crusading founder of Dentists Without Borders. It seemed odd and incongruous. It's kind of like being lead into the bank manager's office and you pass a room with a ball pit. Or you must politely ignore the trapeze in the corner of your accountant's office.

My Ontario dentist has fully embraced the high tech industry (or they him). He is into TV monitors. There is one or two in every room and all day they run the same loop of dental hygiene lessons. It's a Big Brother experience filled with not so subtle explanations of other people's dental misfortune. You should see what coffee does to your teeth. The monitors are on some sort of centralized system because you don't miss a beat if you are lead from the chair to the X-ray room. As you are in the chair there is one on the ceiling facing you. Mind you he offers movies and ear phones as well. We also get sunglasses, a hot towel at the end and a loot bag full of dental delights. My dentist actually does run Iron Man triathlons in exotic locations. One wonders what Dr Mitty and Dr. Iron Man would talk about...
