*This is a guest submission by John M. Rodgers, a writer, editor and teacher from New Hampshire who stopped by the Dental Hygiene Clinic in Denton recently* If you’re like many people, you don’t enjoy the dentist’s office – big needles, drills, yanking, poking, prodding.

However, the inertia from those changes in the ‘60s seems to have burned out, and kindling now is a new war on women.
