I once went eleven years between dental visits during one season in my life. I claimed it was because I was broke and couldn\u2019t afford it. While that was indeed true, it was also because I so loathed the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will admit to a natural aversion to visiting the dentist. I am not alone in harboring those sentiments. Most of us have had a bad experience or three with our friendly neighborhood dental practitioner. It\u2019s tough to get excited about somebody prodding around inside your sensitive mouth with a big, sharp steel pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This friendly bespectacled lad is Benjamin Salomon, Rambo dentist.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, my dentist and hygienist are both great friends. I actually look forward to catching up with Earl and Kelly while they exercise their art. They are both smart, personable, and competent. However, back in 1944, one particular dentist was all that and quite a bit more. Ben Salomon, DDS, was also one steely-eyed warrior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
