11/30: easy visit

I grew up with a lot of stress related to going to the dentist, and I'm grateful to a series of wonderful, kind, and gentle dentists and dental hygienists who have helped me shed some of that stress as an adult.  Today's happily stress-free dental visit reminded me of that gratitude.  (Also welcome is the glimmer of hope that not all childhood stresses need to be permanent baggage in adulthood.)
