Now for the technical part. There is a very nice piece on visiting dentists written by S.J Perelman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._J._Perelman) for the New Yoorker many years ago.........I say read it (if you chance on the piece) before you call you dentist. And you know my views on the subject.... Now, as for a good dentist......there is one....unfortunately, he detests/dislikes your community (sadly, that is the communal equation today). I forget his name....he is from Ponji, his wife teaches in the dental college. He is excellent. No need of appointment 'cause not too many folks go to him. He is honest (in his profession), very very good..... He has a practice in Ponji and in the old days, did a couple of days in Vasco. He is tall, curly hair, eye glasses in his 40s and lives in Panjim. Maybe someone on the G-net will find his name...his wife practices as well and reputed to be good. I was his patient and of all the dentist here and everywhere, he is excellent. And now for a cure: with all the Con-Con health postings ( **yawn*) all cut, dried and pasted....the insides of your mouth will thank me. Go buy yourself a bottle of teel oil (sesame seed oil). Preferably get the extra virgin, if possible distilled in Sri Lanka. Gargle it each morning.....going forward, you will not be looking for dentists names/recomendation. To clarify, your old problems will have to be dealt with the same old way but you don't have new dental problems. Ah, and don't forget, you own me all-I-can-eat maysoore-pak at Cafe Central, don't forget! Now for a dentist story of a late unqualified dentist called Pekan. You see, Pekan was an assistant to a well appointed and perhaps lazy Vasco-based dentist. The baatkaar-dentist, as was the practice in the old days would ask his assistant to do the small jobs. Pekan pick up the trade...... Very soon, word got around that Pekan was better at fixing the minor problems with ones teeth than the dentist himself. The customers poured in from meaty fish mongers to the sly and miserly baatkars...they all slipped in quietly, never with an appointment before the clinic opened in the morning or after the dentist took off in the evening! Ofcourse, the price was deep discounted, sometimes free if you were short of cash or 5 fresh mackerels if you were in the business. There were problems.....sometimes, the fix did not go well or the bleeding did not stop. One never heard of these patients after, one assumes they suffered in shame or took to alchool. Then there was this story told over drinks. A Nordic man, in pain and need of an extraction showed up at the late hour......Pekan seated the man, the very tall man. Now out part-time dentist being short in stature climbed on a box to reach the man's problem area, got a grip on the problem tooth, instrument well in his grip pulled in full force......the box tilted and fell over, the instrument tight in Pekan's hands gripping the man's tooth, Pekan hanging in mid air........after some divine intervention, the man's tooth came loose, a little red fluid splashed all over...... Pekan has since passed on, his daughter successfully got her degree in dental medicine and now a practicing dentist.
