We keep some of our dentists SO busy they aren't allowed to stop and answer a phone

Actually he had just placed some impresson material and felt he could not leave his patient just laying there with all that glob in his mouth . .

But the call was an important one, one he could not afford to miss . . .

And with proper infection control, he shouldn't touch the phone with gloved hands

SOOOOOoooo . . . his assistant holds the phone while he continues with his patient

Isn't that just too cute

You know... I don't think I'm ready for the 21st century.

This is a great image in B&W. Like how you captured all three individuals.

Nice shot Pete!

If I was the one who called the dentist, I'd be pleased that he took the call. However, if I was laying in that chair, it better be pretty darned important. Nice candid capture.

This reminds me about the "dental reminder card" sitting under a pile of papers on my desk. Oh .... great shot too ! :)

Great shot -- one does wonder what was so important.

Guess it was too private for a speaker phone.

Good idea not to leave the victim (errr, patient)! Course they have to give me gas to get my jaw unclenched every time I go in so it wouldn't bother me, lol!
