Tooth-angels are a blessing

Thank God for the dentists and staff of Edmonds-Woodway Dental Care on their annual “Freebie Day of Caring” on Feb. 28. They determined my painful bad tooth had to be pulled NOW and a cavity filled at a soon date. One sweet thing held this old codger’s hand while the dentist stuck a horse needle in my jaw with Brazilian Bee Venom (or so it felt like). And there was no charge!

It goes to state that the south county as well as other parts of the state and the U.S. need freebie dental clinics with dentists and aids in the area volunteering their services at least one day a month.

They could write it off as advertising expense by slipping their business card into the patients pocket while they are writhing in discomfort, agony, or passed out.
