834 Words4 Pages

It’s an ordinary day, much unlike any other, as Mary arrives at her dental office, a few minutes early, so she can indulge in her guilty pleasure, this week’s PEOPLE magazine. As she grazes the articles, her dental hygienist, Darci, appears in the reception area and escorts Mary into the hygiene room. Mary hangs up her jacket and purse, and sits down in the dental chair where Darci drapes a bib around her neck. Darci: Nice to see you Mary, are there any changes in your health? Any new medications? Have you had any surgeries or been to the hospital since your last dental appointment? Mary: No new MEDS, and I haven’t had any surgeries. Darci: Okay, that’s good to hear.

Upon some isolated probing, Mary’s gums are bleeding spontaneously and there seems to be more plaque developing on the inside of her front teeth. Darci
