The Dental Student

We were currently just waiting on Dr. Winters to get back from making my retainer so we were just chilling in my favorite exam room.

"Hey, babe. Do you care if I go ask your uncle about a dental technique real quick?" Noah asked as I just laid in his arms, wanting to sleep.

"Yeah, sure." I said, getting off of him and sitting in the dental rolly chair.

I'm not shocked that Noah wanted to go talk to my uncle, he was always wanting to know about new technology dental techniques and procedures.

He even took a class on jaw massages for patients with pain.

He's going to be such a good dentist, I just know it.

I just sat on the chair and admired my favorite room,  I could tell my uncle recently got it painted because he had the beach wall to be set during the day, so you could see the painted sun shining down on the very blue pastel ocean.

I saw the computer turn on out of the corner of my eye. Usually whenever my uncle has his next patient, then he will send the computer in that room the scans so that he can have them ready.

My eyes couldn't help but wander and I need the practice anyways of accurately reading a patient's x-rays, so I looked at the computer screen.

The person's teeth were pretty straight, obviously had braces when they were younger. They had a fairly good size cavity and a few small ones forming. But mainly, I couldn't help but focus on their large and obnoxious wisdom teeth sticking out.

I can only imagine that my uncle called in his oral surgeon for a wisdom teeth removal because this patient's wisdom teeth are going to infected fairly quickly.

I jumped when I heard the door open, I about fell off the rolley chair.

I see Noah prance in and come over and kiss me on the cheek, and my uncle walk in behind him carrying a chart.

"You analyzing some scans, Willow?" My uncle joked as I nodded my head.

"What's the diagnosis and treatment then, Dr. Samuels?" He asked as he leaned against a counter and waited for my response.

"I would hope wisdom teeth removal. Did you call in Dr. Taylor, or do you have a new oral surgeon?" I asked him, wondering if he still had the same staff.

"Well not yet, this is just a consult for the removal." My uncle explained.

"Really? Why? They are very close to becoming infected!" I asked, shocked that they haven't had the surgery yet.

"Well they don't know that they need surgery, yet." My uncle said as he started to fiddle with the papers sticking out of the chart.

"Oh, true. That makes sense as to why they haven't had surgery yet." I explained as I looked back at the computer screen to look at the scans.

"I need to remove your wisdom teeth, Willow."

Since some people already guessed what was going to happen, @Minke-Minchos.

I went ahead and just published the chapter.

I didn't know I was so predictable though.
