I wanna be sedated … at the dentist.

Posted By on Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 4:38 PM

Though I don’t necessarily enjoy frequenting the dentist like I do, say, a happy hour, I have never missed a cleaning — every time I’ve gone to the dentist in the past 10 years or so, they’ve made me take more X-rays than necessary to jack up my bill, given me a lecture about flossing while polishing my teeth, told me I don’t have any cavities, then gave me a free toothbrush and sent me on my way. But despite the fact they took all those X-rays, they apparently never actually read them ... at least not correctly because last week I stopped by my friend Kelly's new practice and she showed me my X-rays - and even I could see with my naked, non-dental school educated eye, that there was something inside my teeth that shouldn't be ... cavities, lots and lots of cavities.

The silver fillings I got as a child from drinking well water sans fluoride and eating one too many Pixie Stix leaked creating 11, I repeat 11 cavities over the years … So how is it that four other dentists - two in Charlotte, one in New York City and one in Virginia overlooked the cavities hidden under my fillings? I guess Dr. Kelly and Micheal Wilson of SouthEnd Dentistry are just better!

And ... they make going to the dentist like happy hour – literally, there is a happy hour at SouthEnd Dentistry this Friday starting at 6 p.m. They are having an open house (and open bar, as well as a catered buffet) to showcase their new practice — said practice that saved my smile. Located right above the Wine Loft in you guessed it, SouthEnd (hence the name). Thus, you can make a night of it at the Wine Loft, or one of the many new nightlife features in SouthEnd including the Common Market and Dharma Lounge.
