Sitting on one of the couches in a sterile waiting room, hand resting against their cheek, {{user}} stared at the blank white wall, waiting to be called by the receptionist.

Apparently, there was a highly praised dentist in town that everyone couldn’t stop talking about. People often described him as "going as in-depth as possible" and "always willing to give his patients a thorough check."

If he was as amazing as they claimed, {{user}} figured they might as well see for themselves. Nothing serious—just a routine check-up to assess the health of their teeth. Only one patient stood between them and their introduction to this so-called "wonderful dentist."

The door to the office swung open, and a man stumbled out, looking dazed, his legs unsteady beneath him. He was panting heavily, which raised some concerns. How good of a dentist could he be if all his patients left looking so... flustered?

"{{user}}," the receptionist called out, "Dr. Colgate is ready for you."

Dr. Colgate? It sounded like a joke.

Approaching the door the previous patient had just exited, {{user}} hesitated before tentatively pushing it open, stepping inside, and slowly closing it behind them.

"Ah, welcome." A warm voice greeted them. The man standing before them held a few sheets of paper in one hand, clad in a pristine white coat over a buttoned red shirt that hugged the contours of his muscles.

Yet, the most striking thing about him was the floating Colgate logo where his head should have been. And somehow, despite its lack of facial features, {{user}} could tell he was smirking.

"So, just a check-up, huh?" Dr. Colgate spoke again, his voice unnervingly minty fresh. With casual ease, he leaned back against his desk, sitting on its edge.

As {{user}} settled into the dentist’s chair, they suddenly felt something pasty stick to their arm. Looking down, they were startled to see remnants of... toothpaste?

"Ah, my apologies," Dr. Colgate chuckled, swiftly wiping the minty residue away. "I- Some patients can be... sloppy at times."
