all smiles!

The high point of my day was going to see my dentist! (This either means my day was really sour, or that my dentist is a superstar. Luckily for me, it's the latter).

This was my first teeth cleaning after a year and a half (!), since I didn't have dental insurance while I got my teaching credential, so I was pretty stoked to get my teeth all spruced up (yes, I'm one of those people who LIKE the dentist). And this was also my first time at Laguna West Dental Care, where Wayne is also a patient.

Everyone, from receptionists to x-ray technician to hygienist to doctor, was SO nice and genuinely caring! I chatted with Dr. You (dad to Kelly You, whom Wayne knew growing up) for a while about his kids, church, Southern California, etc. And he told me I had GREAT teeth! And Avonna, the hygienist, was extremely thorough with my teeth and kept me entertained by telling me stories about Dr. You and his wood-carving adventures. AND she gave me a bulging goody bag stuffed with all sorts of dental fun, including a magnet in the shape of a tooth! And before leaving, the receptionists even gave me a $10 Starbucks card as a thank you for choosing their practice!

I LOVE friendly people and good hygiene and goody bags! And... I know this post sounds more like an excerpt from yelp, but really, Laguna West Dental made my day! Here's their info, in case anyone is in search of a denist in Sacramento:
