Fuwamoco's Dental Cleaning!
A short story
I recently saw an ad on the internet. Scary, I know, but it's because I had been looking for a dentist.
I really just needed a check up, maybe a deep cleaning, and this place takes walk ins.
"Mococo and Fuwawa's Dentistry! We Will Protect Your Smile!"
Seems safe enough.
It wasn't a long drive from my house, and the traffic wasn't too bad. Five minutes at most.
The building blended in with the nearby apartments. Red bricks and a dark green roof with a few normal windows tinted so you can't see
through them. If not for the inviting cartoon sign with two blonde girls on it with the dentist office's name written in chalk, I'd
assume I was in the wrong place.
I couldn't help but think to myself that maybe this place was meant for children's dentistry, but if it was, surely they'd advertise that.
Well, it seems safe enough. I turned off my car and locked it after I got out. I can see on the front door that the establishment is
open from 8 AM to 6 PM, but I can't see inside.
Trying the silver handle to the right of me, the door swung open with ease. I'll see myself inside.
This wasn't a large building, and I was right not to expect much. Stepping into the building I saw two light brown benches to my left and right,
and straight ahead was a receptionist desk. The pink and blue accentuations made this small building look bigger than it was.
The receptionist was a cheery girl, lithe and with a calm demeanor. It'll only take me a moment to walk up and say hello.
Once I arrived, she spoke before I was able to.
"Hello! I'm Mococo! Welcome to our dentist office! Are you a new patient?"
I hesitated for a moment. Of course she wouldn't have seen me before, and I see a card reader next to her on the desk. I can just use my credit card
after I'm seen. I'll keep it simple.
"Yes, I'd like to be seen for a deep cleaning. Do you have time for a walk in today?"
Mococo sounded excited.
