today my dentist asked if he could extract my wisdom teeth for free, I have never experienced such a kind act of compassion and it made me emotional
Today I had a dentist appointment to extract a few molars that were beyond saving. I haven't been to a dentist since I was a child and I am 27 now so they definitely need some work. In our initial consultation I told him that I was opting for extractions because I didn't think I could afford root canals and I felt like they were too far gone to be saved, he pointed out my wisdom teeth and we talked about a plan for all my teeth in general but ultimately I ended up expressing that I think I can only afford to work on the ones that are causing me pain for now. Well today at the appointment to extract my bad molars he asked if I would be okay with him extracting my wisdom teeth for free and it caught me so off guard that I thought I was misunderstanding him. I am not a religious person but I truly felt blessed by something today, I am so overwhelmed by someone showing so much compassion and empathy that its making me emotional
