Sure, if they have it chained to the end table and the cartridge hot-glued in the slot.

Eh, it's hardly new. The dentist I used to go to (John Sechena, also in Seattle!) first had a SNES in his waiting room, but later changed that to a PSX. I don't know what he's got now...wouldn't be surprised to find out that he's sporting a 360 or something, but still.
...maybe...maybe Seattle dentists are naturally gamers?

The orthodontists I saw for 12 years (http://www.gradyandkastnerorthodontics.com/) have had Super Mario 64 in their waiting room since the game came out. Memories!
It seemed weird to spend so much money on handhelds given their tendency to walk off, but after checking her website, the rest of this lady's office is equally uh...extravagant. Massage chairs? Paraffin wax dips?!
A.) She must be raking it in.
B.) This is the girliest dentist's office I've ever HEARD of.

My orthodontist, from my experience there, went from a Dreamcast, PS2, 360, PS3, then Wii. They have the Wii as of now, and it has Mario Kart.
They had the most ghetto PS3 security device ever... They duct taped the USB cable to the controller and had a bunch of thin metal rings wrapped around it.

If they had a Gamecube and had Super Mario Sunshine then they could have the level where Mario has to clean the giant eel's teeth on all the time. Not the worst way to teach kids about dental hygiene.

Yeah, sounds great. but i also would think this can create a problem for kids and adults who suddenly become addicted heh. I can just imagine...."Umm, Pascual, the dentist will see you now." Pascual: "NO!, wait just a little longer." Or, the demon kids from hell, " GRARRRRR, WAAAAHHHHH, I don't wanna go home, I wanna stay and play the game!!!." Or, "It's MINE!!! I want to take it home!"

My dentist (who I've visited for over 15 years) still has a working version of the original Nintendo Game & Watch Donkey Kong game in his office! It always brings back memories.
