Major Dental Work 


Sadie: Hi, I’m Sadie. You must be Gordon. 


Gordon: Yes, I am. It’s nice to meet you. It’s a little strange to be set up, isn’t it? 


Sadie: It was nice of Felina and Jaime to arrange this date. 


Gordon: It was. Jaime told me that you’re a dentist. Is that right? 


Sadie: Yes. 


Gordon: That must be interesting work. 


Sadie: Well, I think so. Just today, I did a root canal and removed a set of wisdom teeth. Oh, but you wouldn’t want to hear about that. 


Gordon: Sure, I do. I want to get to know you better. 


Sadie: In that case, since I live in a small town, I do basic dental work, but also act as a periodontist, oral surgeon, and orthodontist when the need arises. 


Gordon: Wow, that’s a lot of dental knowledge to keep up on. 


Sadie: I don’t mind. One day, it’s cavities 1 and crowns, and the next, extractions, bridgework, dentures, implants 2, and inlays. I had a very interesting case the other day... 


Gordon: Go on. 


Sadie: It’s a little unpleasant, maybe not good dinner conversation. 


Gordon: Maybe you’re right. It’s not always a good idea to talk shop over dinner. 


Sadie: Felina didn’t mention what you did for a living. 


Gordon: I’m a proctologist. 


Sadie: Ah, I see your point.
