What’s New? Everything - Including A Root Canal


Well, a new chapter in my life has begun. A new husband (married now for five weeks), new country, and the official launch of a new business. In addition to all things new, I had to find a new doctor. I needed a dentist, to be precise. And having lived in Germany for a little over four weeks, anxiety began to set in.

My problem? Ich spreche nur ein bisshen auf Dueutsch! (I speak only a little German). So, as you can understand, it was extremely important for me to find a dentist that was fluent in English and could communicate in a personable manner. To my delight, my husband Matze suggested a great dentist; a dentist he had visited for the first time just several weeks earlier.

During my appointment, Matze put my racing nerves at ease. “I’ll go in with you,” he said. “If the dentist doesn’t speak English well enough, I’ll stay in the room and translate everything for you.” Well, that’s all I needed to hear.

Astonishingly, my root canal went perfectly. It was absolutely painless, and I didn’t need the translation assistance of my husband either.

Next search, OB/GYN. Oh God help me!
