The Dentista

Well I have finally seen the dentist, who didn't speak a word of English (not that he should but it would have been easier). In spite of it taking a little bit longer than normal to understand exactly what was wrong due to my lack of knowing the spanish words for Gum Disease everything went pretty well. He did repeat back to me 3 times "You haven't seen a dentist for 3 year", I think he thought that I had just got my Spanish muddled up, but all that considered my teeth are looking pretty good. Got to go back 3 more times and it's going to cost me, but at least I don't have to lose any.

One slightly amusing thing did happen though. There was a little confusion because I only told Dawn that I was going to "a" dentist and gave her the street name. In fairness I didn't realise there were two in the same street, but I had asked her to come and meet me as her Spanish is a lot better than mine. I got a call from her asking where I was becuase she was in the wrong dentists telling them that it was her husband in there, then got closer and realised that it wasn't me.

I'm going back next thursday for round 2!
