Painless Dentist

This hangs in the waiting room over the desk.

Today's ordinary life included over an hour waiting at the "painless dentist" this afternoon (plus more than an hour of commuting). This is our middle son's orthodontist. 

Orthodontic treatment is uncommon enough in Japan that this one out in the "burbs" needs to also do regular dental work.

I don't know what else to say, except that I think that "painless" is a little optimistic . . . our son who hates medication has just come and asked for some painkillers after our visit.
