My very favourite musical (in general, I'm not a fan of the genre).
Fortunately, I never need anything done to my teeth at my 6-monthly checkups, so the experience for me is quite a pleasant one, as he usually compliments the fact that he doesn't even need to clean or scrape them (I am a fan of the Firm toothbrush
).

All my friends and their families used my father and none ever complained that he was painful. Just me!
He was an Oral Surgeon, taught dentistry at N.Y.U. and Mt. Sinai Hospital two days a week. I have to assume that he was good, right? I wonder if this was some sort of passive aggressive thing that he was taking out on me?

There is simply no way I would have let my father anywhere near my teeth. In fact, I spent as much time as I could simply avoiding him altogether...
