The Dentist's Office

So six years, six apartments, two cars, one marriage and one trip across the International Date Line later, I finally made it back to the dentist. Colleen and I both got checkups this week & were both given a clean bill on dental health. I was a little nervous before going in as the Japanese dental system isn't known for being the greatest- and I've seen no shortage of outright frightening teeth here - but the office was extremely modernized (at least on compare to the one I was in half a decade ago...) and everything went really smooth, even with the language difference. We owe a lot of that to Rima Tanida, Iwa Koko school nurse, who helped us translate forms and communicate with the staff there.
