Dissecting anime is tough work for a Japanese-illiterate otaku wannabe like me. It's enjoyable, workwise.

My beloved dentist however, believes that preventive extraction isn't necessary. If it doesn't hurt, no point going through all that trouble to damage gum nerves. I feel he makes sense.

After all, they do get back to you once things have tied over.But if they don't, does that make them less of a friend?
