I sit under the fluorescent lights in the waiting room ruminating over my neglected resolution to floss each night and the impending pain I will soon endure. And although we only see each other twice a year, through the poking and prodding, my dentist always peppers me with questions. She asks how my dog Lucy is doing after her scuffle with a fierce Chihuahua, or if I ended up trying that new Thai restaurant I mentioned at my last appointment.
