If you have to go to the dentist in Germany...

...don't worry. It's basically just like going to the dentist in the US, only the language is different. Except for all the latin names for everything going on in your mouth--you know, that secret code the dentist tells the hygienist so you don't know what they're really talking about. Besides, once you're there with your mouth pinned open, you can't say anything in any language.

They have promised to e-mail me my x-ray, though, so if I'm "on vacation in Mallorca and suddenly need to see the dentist, I'll have it with me." Cool.
