^ My brother's friend has been in dentistry school for 7 years now, it takes awhile! His dad is a dentist too and has his own building, I imagine he will take over once his dad retires.
Good to hear the dentist was gentle, my dentist is as well. I remember having to get a root canal and the pain was the worst I have ever felt in my life! I had severe pain even eating pudding and sipping water. He put a large amount of novacane (spelling?) in my gums and I never even felt the needle. He is good!
