Dentist

So I just want to rave about the best teeth cleaning I've had since my childhood dentist retired years ago. Dr. Gagik Pahlavyan gave me an amazing cleaning for 40 minutes, and my teeth feel brand new! I highly recommend him, at least for cleanings. It cost about $50 - though who knows what he'll cost next month if the dollar keeps dropping. If you want to pay him a visit, he's at Ultradent on Amiryan Street, across from Samsung. The office was brand new, had excellent equipment, and you even put your feet into a machine which pops plastic baggies on them to keep the place spotless... a bit excessive I think, but certainly a nice change.

As I sit in the chair...

Gagik: What problem do you have?
Me: No problem.
Gagik: Wow, nobody in this country visits the dentist until it reaches the bone (minchev voskor' hasni).

That's a figure of speech, but I guess not many people go in for a regular cleaning. And I guess that doesn't surprise me.
