Live From The Dentists Chair

We took a day trip to Los Algadones Mexico and learned something interesting. Evidently Los Algadones is very well known as a town for tourists from the US and Canada to come to for dental work, medications and eye glasses. Cheap prices, good work, and many of the clinics accept US insurance!
This is a typical street in Los Algadones and I count at least 10 different signs for dental offices. If you're curious just plug these numbers into Google Maps and see how many you can find:
32.71340805178894, -114.73698994533632
It seemed strange to walk into the town and get touted for dental work, medicine, and glasses not cheap trinkets. "Hey buddy, you need a good dentist"? "Lady, lady, best pharmacy in town right here"! "You looking for Botox"? "1 hour glasses, we got them here". "Come inside, we've got medicine and liquor here".
The touts were really hustling for customers because no one was walking the streets. It was 106 Fahrenheit (41 Celcius) outside a little warm for a casual stroll.
Interesting little town, evidently it gets packed in the winter with the snowbirds. Don't think we'll be going back any time soon and no, we didn't get any dental work!
The story behind the photo.
Today I had another check-up at the dentist.
Before the dentist arrived, the dental assistant attended to me.
As a little tartar needed removing, she lowered the headrest of the treatment chair all the way down and sat behind me on the chair shown in the photo, pressing the back of my head against her breasts so that it could be held in place for the treatment.
I had never experienced tartar removal whilst being so comfortably supported before.
A greeting card on the bulletin board of my dentist. Sorry it's a little fuzzy; I thought it was worth sharing, anyway.
This little lady vet is "floating" our horse's teeth - a procedure required to smooth the sharp points off their molars so they don't cut their cheeks. That is a battery operated drill she is using with a 1" round diamond disc. She seems to be very skilled and definitely bold about her attack!! Glad it's the horse and not me (even though I am the TuthFaree!)
It's over 40 years since I gazed up at these lights while sitting in the dentist's chair!
The former dental surgery in Dundalk is a time capsule from decades gone by.
It has recently been purchased by three young businessmen who already own a successful pub in Dundalk and they have plans to convert it into a budget-friendly boutique hotel.
The dentist and his assistant have a patient they need to work on.
It still needs some work. I think I am going to add a scene or two to make this better.
...at Beamish Museum in County Durham.
Ravensworth Terrace originally stood on Bensham Bank, in Gateshead, and was built for professional people and tradesmen between 1830 and 1845. Beamish Museum saved six of the houses from demolition during the Seventies, and rebuilt them between 1980 and 1985.
Numbers Three and Four are, respectively, a dentist's practice and his family home.
This sculpture's tooth fell out and now the dentist is trying put in a veneer. LOL

On a second thought, the two for one offer "Check your car and your teeth" doesn't sound good anymore.
Good morning everyone, happy Friday by the way, well, I am kind of sad because yesterday I went to dentist and guess what, since last time they took both my left side and right side wisdom teeth off, they figure out that my molar was damaged by my wisdom tooth.
So, as a result, I lost both my left and right side molar because of the wisdom teeth, sad, so sad. And here are some of my black and white pictures, hope you will like it and tomorrow, I will upload the pictures which I taken in Shantang Street recently.
