Have you ever been excited to go to the dentist? I mean, they’ve got to be right up there with lawyers, state troopers and tax examiners for most people. All the drilling, the needles, the numbing, the taste of that Satan paste they use for your fillings… Then there’s that suction straw, am I the only idiot that accidentally closes my sinuses every time and feel like my brains are going to get sucked out of my skull? Despite all of that unpleasantness, I actually love visiting Dr. Dennis Abere and his team.(Side note: Dennis is the most common first name for dentists. Real fact. Chew on that a minute. Then spit.) All of the hygienists are super friendly and awesome, and so is Dr. Abere. Admittedly, I am not the most dedicated flosser, but this doc never tries to guilt me into flossing more. I mean, I know I should. He knows I know I should. It’s all good in the hood. When he’s not poking people’s gums, you can find him and his wife volunteering at Irish Fest selling beer and wine tickets for fun. The whole fam comes here to take care of their chompers, so when we all go to Irish Fest it’s kinda like«Where’s Waldo?» — we just have to drink enough beer to visit each ticket booth. Don’t have a dentist? Book an appointment here. Have a dentist? Switch. You won’t regret it.
