Dentist yesterday

 I went to a new dentist yesterday.

My dentist for years retired about a year ago. So I needed a new one.'

The woman who cleaned my teeth was wonderful and funny.

But the dentist wanted me to have a 'deep cleaning'. That would require two visits and being numbed each time.

I turned it down.

I'm 77--how many decades do I have left.

My teeth will be fine until I'm not....

Alas....
