We usually just call treatment either 'Routine' or 'Emergency' hillstrider. Depending on whether it was scheduled after a checkup or not. We are simple people in the dental trade.
Great stuff RunningFoxx! A younger partner/wife/husband makes all the difference--mine's 22 years younger..and she runs (ultras unfortunately for me...leaves me trailing)...My dentist and his main receptionist run too...always good to talk distances jut before a bit of treatment!
At this point it's worth regurgitating something my chiropodist said to me last year (which I've cut and pasted from my blog of the event):
"There's a lot to be said for triathlon. A combination of three sports is far kinder to the joints than any single one, especially running. Of course, the risk is that rather than dividing one's time between the three, one just spends three times as long training."
As an NHS employee I'm not getting rich any time soon! But dentistry is inherently bad for the body (especially the back) so sport keeps us aging specimens healthy. Though my injuries from falling off bike and on trail have been a little tricky in the last two years. But the physio works only 50m away!
I was driven to listen to Saturday Live on R4 on my way back from Exmouth parkrun this morning as R2 was not Dermot O'Leary but was someone droning on about some Star Wars film.
Anyway, the point of my post is, there was a chap called Milad Shadrooh who is also 'The Singing Dentist,' and he sang this,

which made me laugh He also said he became a dentist because he liked science, was good with his hands and with people, and it was a 9 to 5 job, unlike medicine. No mention of the money
