Today's happiness research, part II
January entodontist: "You'll need surgery either right now, or within a few months. We cut open the gum, clean out the inflammation, and sew your mouth right back up. Only sometimes do we have to eliminate the tooth."
July 5 entodontic surgeon, 10:31 a.m.: "We can cancel this morning's surgery, it seems OK for now, just keep an eye on it."
Hail Seth Roberts, hail flaxseed oil!
Dr. Yang didn't even know that he is a character in a forthcoming book about how to motivate your dentist...

What does flax seed oil have to do with your teeth?
Do you explain in your book?
Do you realize that a obfuscated story is not the same as a clever story?
So. Many. Questions.

I’m inevitably, inexorably unhappy when a disappointingly unattractive dental hygienist puts a bib around my neck, reclines my seat to the point where blood rushes to my face, increases the volume of the buffoonery hawked by an uber-blond FoxNews anchor, and attempts to ask me questions that required a non-Yes/No answer.
No amount of flax seed oil will prevent me from being unhappy during, or after, a visit to the dentist. Yes, I am an anti-dentite.

I think you go to my old dentist. (He was young at the time. I was really, really young.)

If he's anything like my dentist, the relevant question is: How long was the queue in the waiting room in January and how long in July?

I haven't had any gingivitis for a long, long time. Glad it is going well for you.
