Theme Songs/Clean Teeth
Children are supposed to get to the dentist around age
three, so it is with some sheepishness that I share this tale: My son, now four,
went to the dentist for the first time today.
We all went, actually, and it was
quite refreshing to find that our long hiatus from the dental chair had not
resulted in any cavities. Change in our
insurance plan sent us to a new office, full of very nice people, so it was a
pretty good experience.
A minor
highlight of the trip, apart from the clean teeth, which are rewards unto themselves,
was that whenever Ruben the hygienist gathered his tools to descend into Henry’s
little, wide open mouth, he began to hum the “Imperial March” from Star Wars. I appreciate everything that Ruben did to
make our visit successful and Henry, I’m sure, didn’t care, but I wasn’t
thrilled about Darth Vader’s theme song being performed by the man with his
hands in my son’s mouth.
What would I prefer? The
Final Countdown a la Gob Bluth, obviously.
