General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

A tiny dentistry anecdote. Newly married, I took my wife to a dentist in Chester. She had a broken front tooth courtesy of a back hander from her foster mother. The dentist looked at the gap, and said "Why? Are going to make movies or something?" and he turned us away.

Six years later we had moved to the USA and my wife was at the dentist's office for a six monthly cleaning. He asked why she had a broken tooth and I told him the story, including the Brit dentist's refusal. . "I can fix that," he said, and did a beautiful invisible repair. We were delighted. I asked him how much. He grinned. "No charge," he said, "welcome to America."
