The greatest advance in dentistry since I was a kid is…

The dental assistant.  When I was a kid, the dental assistants were old, dowdy fat women with names like Mildred or Myra.  They all wore those hideous old-fashioned nurse’s uniforms with white support hose and orthopedic shoes.  It was the total Nurse Ratched experience. 

Now dental assistants are young, attractive ... dare I say hot? 

I think this is by design, and it’s not just an eye-candy thing.  It’s to keep you quiet.  I can’t whine about what’s going on in my mouth in front of a hot chick.  It simply isn’t done.  No, you have to man up and take it silently, stoically.  You shut up and don’t bother them as they go about their business. 

I must say, I think this is a quality business practice.

I am pretty sure (and my wife agrees) that our dentist hires assistants and hygienists at least partly on the basis of their hotness.

Not just their looks.  Their hotness.

Hotness.

I don’t even mind going to the dentist anymore.

Did I say hotness?

You said hotness.  I concur.

Dude, my dentist is even hot.  She’s a tiny little attractive blonde woman. 

I see nothing wrong with this trend whatsoever.

All I have to say is that if this is true, I need a new dentist.

I’m presently under the care of a dentist, an oral surgeon and an orthodontist, and it’s true at all three offices. 

The worst thing I can say about any of the three is that my orthodontist looks EXACTLY like Enzyte Bob.
