Dental Spa!!
I went to a new dentist today that is just down the road from our church, since I had been driving about 20 miles. Little did I know I was in for a total spa experience!! When I got there, I got a paraffin hand dip, a eucalyptis neck massage, a cool eye mask, soothing music in a spa-type room, and limeade. That was all before I saw a hygienist or dentist!! My total out of pocket cost was $21, and that was for the optional flouride treatment. My insurance covered the rest. I felt like I had been to a day spa. I asked them for a facial and manicure, but they declined.

Wow - - what's a paraffin hand dip got to do with your teeth? That's pretty cool though!

Re: Dental Spa!!
Wow! Wish mine did that! Would make going to the dentist a little more pleasant, which is probably the purpose.

Yeah, I wondered that too. We never had dental insurance until recently, and we have a group policy now. I don't ever have to pay for routine cleanings twice a year, including xrays. That part is really nice.

Re: Dental Spa!!
Wow! I have a dentist appointment at 8 am tomorrow to finish my tooth implant. My almost four months of looking like an East Tennessee hillbilly are coming to an end! Could not believe how long it takes the bone to grow around the implanted post.
However my dentist has NONE of the amenties you described above.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

It's better to look like an east Tennessee hillbilly than a west Tennessee red neck!

I am an East TN hillbilly, but with all my teeth. I am actually out west now and miss TN really bad. You'd be hard pressed to know that I am from E.T. unless you saw me during football season.
