Mouth Janitor. Frosting Artist. Suture Remover.

Yesterday when my fellow hygienist/friend Monica, asked me to take out stitches in her finger, I felt like...such a...big girl. Like Really? You want me to take your stitches out? I couldn't help it...I was so excited for this job.

Dabbing on some Lidocaine.


Then she started laughing because my hand was shaking, which made me laugh, then we sat there in fits of giggles, then I had to have a little talk with myself, saying You can laugh, or you can clip sutures, but you can't do both.
