„On Wednesday at 12:00, you're going to the dentist! Naturadent.hu, look it up online, I go there too” - comes the email from my boss, with whom we are also good friends. And close to a heart attack state follows.
„My right hand's gone numb, is this the end?” I ask my love. „No,” comes the reassuring reply. „But let go of the armrest, your hand's turning purple.” It seems I was in a state of shock from the news... Then I calmed down because I immediately remembered I had a promise! „THAT'S IT, I'M NOT GOING” I declared with the determination of the Grinch, but the next moment I realised this was different. If she says it, then an appointment is booked there! If she says it, then there's no detour! You can't be late, let alone cancel.
I resign!
Oh no, that's great, then we'll have nothing to live on! But what if I don't survive? We're still talking about a dentist! And they're very dangerous people, who have sworn to carve and break.
Why don't you go mining instead? The rocks don't hurt, but my tartar does... And I sulked for a few lines to myself, or half-aloud – I can't quite remember. I lay down: „I'll report sick, then!” But my appointment is in two weeks. I can't lie here with a fever until then. I got up. Gathering my last strength, but already writing my will, I crawled over to the computer. My fingers wouldn't obey, but I typed it in.

Ultimately the site is nice, the colours are calming…SCAM! This is for sure!
They want to seduce me! I won't let myself be tempted! I'll ponder for a few more minutes, then I'll switch to the executioners' menu item. They write it like this: Our dentists.
Rich and beautiful – that's what comes to mind when I look at the „offering”. „This is definitely a scam!” the thought strengthens, then another occurs. My boss comes here weekly. My boss is also my friend. Or has something changed in our relationship? He hasn't shown any signs of it. However, I know my boss as someone who cares about his people. I become more open. I start reading the website. Everyone is happy. I mean, not only do the dentists smile happily, but the comments on the page also testify to happiness and satisfaction.
Then I remember the before-and-after ads from the newspaper… I'm telling you, it's a scam! Everything is nice and green, everyone is smiling and everyone is satisfied. It's 2013 and we're in Hungary – if anyone has perfected scams, it's us by now. If anyone knows how to rip someone off, it's us. I sink back into my chair again. But I click on. What else can I do, I have appointments to keep. You don't contradict the boss! I can't do anything about that, I just have to get used to them.
LASER DENTISTRY!
…I've found something interesting that sounds like it could be a solution for me. I'm devouring the lines, just gobbling up the information: it doesn't hurt, it doesn't bleed, it heals quickly.
Good heavens, I'm going, where do I need to sign? – excitement catches me. But before that, there's still MÁV and a thousand other things, so I only sign up with them for a full renovation in my head.
Laser dentistry? In my mind, I'm already feeling like I'm in a 90s disco. Or in the Star Wars films. If my dentist's hand is as good as Luke Skywalker's, there shouldn't be much of a problem! I'm starting to enjoy the whole thing. But the day hasn't come yet for me to step inside – the practice.
However, it's approaching, except I'm no longer afraid. Or am I? I don't know, but I'm no longer terrified. That's for sure! We'll see about the rest on the first day - it's getting close!
