The Dentist

The dentist. A place we all know and hate. Today, I went to the dentist for a routine teeth cleaning. Everything went well except for one issue. The problem was that my hygienist was friendly -_ perhaps too friendly. I don't know why dentists, orthodontists and hygienists all insist on talking to you with their instruments and hands shoved into your mouth. I mean, we all go to the dentist to get our teeth cleaned and that's it. It isn't social hour, so I don't get why dentists even try to strike up conversation in the first place. I get that they're trying to be polite and friendly, but in the end they just end up annoying me.
