    Ahhh, embarrassing.  Yes that's how this update starts.  I am an embarrassment.

    You know when you wake up (in your own bed [thank god]) and it's the middle of the week (like a Thursday) and your phone says the time is 1057 and you think...

    "hmn I shouldn't be asleep right now because I have another commitment and I just can't put my finger on it... and it's not work, it's something else..."

    And then you realize that you are supposed to be at the dentist getting your teeth cleaned in 3 minutes and that's why you feel like you shouldn't be sleeping off a mid-week bender?  No?  That hasn't happened to you?  Then... my bad (I guess).

    Long story short - I called the dentist and said I would be late and they were totally cool about it.  Then I showed up (looking/smelling like a hobo) and they were totally cool about it.  Then I disallowed the cavitron 5000 from my cleaning and they were totally cool about it.

    The bottom line message I want to deliver to you in this review, is that I am never switching dentists again.  Actually, that's not exactly true.  I am never switching hygienists again.  If Lisa moved to a different dentist office, I would move my records along with her.  

    This was the most painless dental cleaning I have ever had.  That statement is not a joke.  I had not been to the dentist in 1.5 years, and there was a lot of cleaning that needed to be done; Lisa had brand new dental tools that she was delighted to break in on me.  She was done in 45 minutes (I have historically had to break up cleanings into 2 visits) and when I inspected her work, I expected to see residual tartar and plaque because of the efficiency and painlessness of the service, but the cleaning passed the quality control inspection.  I remain shocked by the quality of this cleaning and it has inspired me to floss more regularly, because I want to preserve the work that she has done here.

    This is my new hygienist and I hope that I die before she does (like... a long time from now) because I can't imagine finding another person that is this good at this job.

    I went to Queen Street Dental Centre on recommendation by a close friend, whose husband and 10-year-old son both are patients.

    My dentist is Dr James Sugarman. He's approachable, friendly and doesn't try to push for unnecessary treatments (i.e. he understands if you're on a budget). His specialty is root canals (hurray for me!), 3 of which he performed in less than an hour. It was (relatively) swift and painless after the freezing (ha! the needle is another thing). I had minimal pain and swelling afterwards.

    I also needed to have crowns put in to replace some broken front teeth**. He had Dr Vicki Sugarman come in to match my colour properly, since that's one of her fortes. I wore temporary crowns for about a week while my permanent crowns were being made at a lab. I now have a shining, gapless smile thanks to Dr James Sugarman.

    The front desk receptionists, Maria and Ingrid, are very friendly and helpful. And Dr Sugarman's assistant Dorothy is hilarious and sweet.

    **yes, I am a mess in the dental area, due to a cycling accident of the ... faceplanting variety.
