One dentist practice is pioneering a new, better way to handle folks stuck in the waiting room. As seen above, courtesy of flickr user tarabrown, the choice between magazines and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/14/you-can-take-it-with-you-nintendo-handheld-retrospective/">some sweet handhelds</a> is available to folks who find themselves waiting on their dentist. No word in the way of what games are available, but this is just an all-around great idea.<br /><br />Seriously, for how cheap a DS is (or an original <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/category/gba">GBA</a>, for that matter), we imagine a practice could just snag a copy of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/brain+age"><em>Brain Age</em></a> and <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/nintendogs">Nintendogs</a> </em>and have their waiting room content and at ease while they, uh ... <em>wait</em>. Might help with those few who become pretty irate when forced to park it in the waiting room.<br /><br />According to Tara, the practice is run by one Dr. Jade Kim and located in Seattle, WA. You can check out the website <a href="http://www.jadekimdds.com/">right here</a>. Apparently, the DS had <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/search/?q=mario+kart"><em>Mario Kart DS</em></a> in there.
