I really don’t like going to the dentist but I had a toothache so... I had to go but a kindness thing happened that’s made me rethink my thinking, if you know what I mean. I was just about to sit in the chair when I told the dentist I needed to collect my car in half an hour and if she though this appointment would take longer I’d need to let my husband know so he could collect it. Oh by the way I’d never met this dentist before, I’d been to the practice about two years ago (the last toothache) but not to her. You know what she said? She said, well I’ll be going home before 4.30 and I can give you a lift to the garage. And she did! She sorted out my toothache too (did you know that grinding your teeth can give you toothache? I probably should start wearing the mouthguard thingy I have?) There’s every likelihood I won’t get the tagging thing working so if you bump into Chris from the Blacklion Dental Studio in Greystones can you giver her a wave - she’s very kind and although she may not be able to give you a lift I bet she’d give you a smile. She has a great smile Thank you, Chris, the kindness dentist #kindness #dentist #thinkingHere’s me taking a leap of faith... my art and craft on sale at Nick’s Coffee in Wicklow town.
