Dear Dr. Colgate,
I am on to you and your kind. Yesterday my filly had some dental work done on their teeth by you. Then you gave them some candy to eat. Candy makes more cavities as everyone knows. First you fill their cavities, then you fill my filly full of candy to make more cavities to make more work for yourself. This could go on indefinitely if I did not discover your scheme. I will not pay you for either the work done on Dinky, nor for the candy you gave her.
Not as ever,
Derpy Hooves

Dear Derpy Hooves,
If you bring Dinky back for dental work again in the future, I'll give both of you and Dinky a delcious, sugar-free muffin for being such excellent patients!
Hope to see you again,
Dr. Colgate
P.S. Derpy, you're overdue for a checkup. Please contact me ASAP.

Dear Dr. Colgate,
I am personally appalled that you think I would fall for such a childish ploy. I know very well that there are no such abominations as sugar-free muffins, and in the impossible chance that they do exist, well, may I never lay eyes on them.
Never again,
Derpy Hooves
P.S. I still am not paying you for that candy.

Dear Derpy Hooves,
I apologize if the prospect of a sugar-free muffin has offended you, although I'm not sure how it did. Nonetheless I would be happy to give you half-off your next checkup (which you are still overdue for) as you've always been good patients and I'd hate to lose you to another doctor.
With apologies,
Dr. Colgate

Dear Dinky,
It's always great to see a young patient be so responsible with their dental care, and be sure to tell your mother how sorry I am for upsetting her. I'm looking forward to seeing you again as well, although I'll be sure to have some sugar-free candy on hand next time.
Doctor Colgate
P.S. I have included an apology muffin with this letter, I hope you enjoy it.

Dinkie Hooves!

Dear Dinky,
Thank you for the picture, it has made me very happy. I think I'll put it up in the waiting room to help other fillies not be scared of the dentist.
With thanks,
Doctor Colgate
It'd been a good run, but after more than 30 years on the job it was time for Colgate to retire. She'd just sent her last patient, a gray filly pegasus who was in for a check up, on there way and it was time to clean up the office. Every tool was put back in it's place, after being sterilized of course. All the dental records for all her old patients were put back in their cabinet. She didn't need them anyhow, she remembered every mouth she'd ever looked at.
She locked the filing cabinet and turned to leave when she noticed something on her desk. Odd, I thought I cleaned up in here before I took that last patient. It was a letter,
Dear Doctor Colgate,
Thank you for letting me take my daughter to see you, I know it was short notice but I think it was good for her. I’m happy she was able to meet my dentist and friend, and it seemed you were happy to see me as always. You were always a good dentist, now enjoy your retirement. I hope I do as well with my patients as you did.
Yours truly,
Dr. Dinky Hooves
P.S. You’re overdue for your next checkup. Please contact me ASAP
Colgate put the letter back in her envelope and smiled. So that's who they'll have replace me. Can't think of anyone better, but it never hurts to leave a little advice. Colgate found a pen and paper, wrote a note, and put it on what was now Dinky's desk. She went out into the waiting room, took one last look at the drawing of her and Derpy on the wall, and left.
Dear Doctor Hooves,
Buy sugar-free candy. You wouldn't want to give anyone cavities.
Your's truly,
Doctor Ms. Colgate
