i used to champ at the bit at the thought dentistry in general, but after today i can't get enough of it. i also would like to add that the dental assistant has an apparently more difficult job than the dentist. dr. burns from manassas is down, and i spent about 6 hours in the dental "clinic" (i would use the word lab, but that conjures visions of cleanliness - how many dentists office have mosquitos flying around in them?). it was intriquing to sit on the "other side" of the chair for once - the dental assistant, anita, was mixing compunds, getting the shots ready, cleaning, handing off the instruments, throwing stuff away - all at the same time. i took my chance and got into the doctor's chair a few times: i am trying to convince dr burns to let me drill and yank a few teeth by the end of the week. i have determined that dentistry is a combination of tile sawing, concrete pouring, and grout cleaning...since they will be here for another 5 days and i have to sit in and translate, i will take some pictures of the set-up...time to go eat the freshly killed goat!!!
