Someone (a dentist) says: hey! Wanna see a science trick? (I had been playing through different avenues of educational options in my head) “Sure!” I said “Open wide” they said So I did, and they light a lighter in the entrance to my mouth. Click click click. By the third ignition my mouth feels and tastes funny. “The chemicals in the flame react with the chemicals in your mouth.... methane... aluminium...” “Oh? What happens?” “Well if there’s any steel amalgams, they will react and fall out” “Omg! I have fillings!” The dentist puts a magnet in my mouth and I hear the shookshookshook sound of my fillings all sticking to the magnet. “Oh my god!” I exclaim! “It’s ok.” Said the dentist, “I’ll order you some new ones...” !!!
