dentistry

I have had my quarterly dental cleaning. The hygienist also took X-rays, and all looks well there.

I had to head out early, because the Transit app told me that the first bus I'd been going to take (from Arlington to Harvard) had been cancelled. I used some of the extra time wandering around a CVS near the dentist's office, where I bought a knit hat that seems likely to be warmer than the one I was wearing this morning.

I again had the fluoride varnish, meaning no hot drinks for two hours, and have just drunk a mug of luke-warm tea. My next appointment will be in the afternoon, to avoid this specific annoyance.

W?here do you go for dentistry and do they have room? this came up at my exam today.

I'm going to All Dental Center in Watertown Square (this is part of a chain). I think they have room for new patients: I found them last year by looking for somewhere that took my dental insurance, was open during that phase of the pandemic, and would take new patients.

The specific hygienist I'm seeing is Abby Chow. She's in Watertown on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and probably at other offices of this chain on other days.
