Out and about

Sir, – Under normal circumstances, I would be filled with fear and dread in advance of my twice yearly visits. But not this time. Dressed up in my finest, I was genuinely excited for the outing. All clear. See you in six months. Who would have thought that a trip to my dentist would be the social highlight of my week. – Yours, etc,

MARIA CROYDON,

Killiney, Co Dublin.
