Rite of passage

Photo: I was admiring this  romantic photo of a typical Scottish landscape in the
dentist's waiting room this afternoon when I suddenly realized the
Wallace Monument is in the foreground.
 
 It's not of the Scottish Highlands but our local landscape taken by a

drone a few miles down the road.


Rite of passage
Once, still in living memory of some

Glaswegians,  your 21st birthday was a time to get all your teeth out.

I mentioned this to our hygienist this afternoon and she added:

” Or your wedding, whichever came first.”

Today extractions are rare,  consigned to dental history.
