I know those words are rarely spoken together "awesome" and "dentist office" but I can't resist sharing this. I took my dd to the dentist today for an extensive bit of work that we scheduled weeks ago including extracting teeth. I knew I was going to pay a lot out of pocket. We were the first appointment of the afternoon session. The receptionist called for "mom of betty jr" and I trudged up there debit card in hand dreading the hit. Imagine my surpise when she loudly said "You picked the perfect day to come in. Dr. I is not charging for any work done today. Merry Christmas!" Yep my jaw dropped! The bill would have been $560 after looking at the invoice! Dh & I agree we will have to pay it forward when we can!

That is so cool. I bet the receptionist loved being able to give good news like that all day. I hope your DD has a speedy, easy recovery!

Yep the receptionist was fully enjoying her job as Mommamagoo mentioned. She had the "cat that ate the canary" look. This is an awesome dentist...not for this special surprise but for her calm and gentle manner with children. She really does a great job with them and with adults with special needs.

I hope your dd feels better. I've had teeth removed (7 at one time) and know how tough it is. I always ate thinned down vanilla pudding.
