You Can Get Your Teeth Fixed–If You’re Clever

by Max Hartshorne on August 16, 2006

Today I am feeling happy–happy and clever. Last week faithful readers may recall that I had to get a root canal…and ouch! The worst part was paying the bill. But of course, modern dentistry doesn’t just end after this four-figure expense. There is first, the temporary, and then the final custom-molded crown to install. Egads! Big Bucks!

As I scootered up Sugarloaf Street, I thought about how I could use my talents and avoid another huge cash outlay–voila! I popped into the dental office across the street from the cafe and asked to see the doc. I know him only through my friends, who are patients, and another who is a neighbor. I know he comes into the cafe once in a while. So I asked him–”Can we make a website for you in trade for this crown?”

He did not hesitate. “Sure! That sounds like a great idea.” So our next web project will be to make a dentist office website. It will be fun, and sure beats paying the bill with cash.
