A routine day at the office for dentist Brian Mallory. A teenage patient he's treated since she first sprouted teeth is in for a cleaning. He had previously noted some signs of bulimia and reported this to her parents. Since no further damage is present, he assumes the issue has been resolved and indeed, Amy acknowledges that her parents have spoken with her and she is doing much better.He does, however, find something else that gives him pause. Something that at first seems innocuous quickly escalates to disturbing, and rushes from there to horrifying!This short story is very well-written and engrossing. It is extremely creepy, probably because of the mundane setting and ordinariness of circumstances. If Rod Serling were alive this story would make a perfect half-hour Twilight Zone.I had only one minor complaint: There is no indenting of paragraphs. This is irritating but didn't affect my rating.
