“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking for recommendations for two things: a dentist and a personal trainer.

“Dear PoPville,
I finally got around to calling my dentist’s practice to make an appointment for my first cleaning since the pandemic began… only to find out that my dentist has retired.
I’m not wedded to that particular practice. Which dentists do PoPville readers recommend? (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
got into a bike accident and messed up my already damaged front 3 tooth. Need some major dental work done and don’t have dental insurance. Can you put the world out there of reasonably priced dentists in the city and/or other resources? (more…)

“Dear PoP,
We always share thoughts on best bars, best drinks, etc. With it being so incredibly difficult to find good doctors, could we do a dear PoP and maybe start with dentists? I don’t know about anyone else, but I just get a list from my insurance company with absolutely no other information…”
This is a great idea. I went to the dentist last month and now believe I need to see a good therapist because I was so abused. Well I could prolly benefit from a good therapist anyway but that’s neither here nor there…
Can anyone recommend and a good dentist? And if possible mention which insurance they take?

“Yo what up Tip? – your next patient is here.” I don’t know if it works. Of course Tip O’Neil was Speaker of the House so never mind. I guess I can’t see Tip without thinking of Q-Tip (of Tribe Called Quest).
Speaking of I hear Q-Tip’s new solo album is phenomenal…

I love these “Dental Surgeon” signs on regular rowhouses. I think Looking Glass Lounge or Wonderland just scored one of these.

I think I may have inadvertently stumbled upon a grand dentistry conspiracy. As one with dental insurance I take full advantage of it and religiously go to 6 month cleanings. So on my last cleaning I was told to buy an electric toothbrush. So like a good kid, I ran from the dentist and got your standard electric toothbrush. It has treated me well, or so I thought. All of a sudden one of my teeth got super sensitive. I thought I was going to need a root canal or something. So I go to the dentist Monday and explain the problem. He asks me after poking around for like 10 seconds, ‘am I using an electric toothbrush’? Yes, of course I reply. Well he says to me, ‘oh, you’re brushing too hard and have removed some enamel and exposed some pores that have lots of nerves’ or something like that. And I’m like, WTF? You are the one who told me to get an electric toothbrush! What the hell sort of catch 22 is this? By the by, his resolution was to gently glide the electric toothbrush and use sensodyne. This is kind f’d up, no? I’m fairly certain it is a conspiracy among the American Dental Association, Electric Toothbrush Manufacturers of America, and Sensodyne…
