...dental profession wonders where the author of the following lines, ''like a dentist trying to get his pliers into the mouth of a terrified, wriggling patient" (TIME, Dec 23, p 26) has his dental work done. Let me inform him that modern scientific methods have eliminated all pain during the operation of extraction.
