A Dentist By Any Other Name Is Still A Dentist, Right?
That’s a lot of consonants. Have you ever wondered what all of those ‘letters of authority’ mean after a dentist’s name? When they’re lined up in a row, they have the potential to be a really, really bad turn in a game of Scrabble. It’s All Greek To Me LOL, ROFL, LMAO; sometimes I need […]
