My ortho is interested in dating me??!!!

Ok, here is how this story goes: My ortho has an assistant who happens to be his mother and a dentist as well. This was kind of a good thing when I decided to go with the treatment almost a year ago. Over the months I found out that this woman is a good and friendly person who loves to chat about almost anything. She even speaks to me when I'm on the chair with my mouth wide open!!:D
Anyway, on this past November appointment I was chatting with her as usual while I was on my way out. Replying on a comment she made I kind of mentioned that I was single again (at the beginning of treatment my now ex boyfriend was with me - so she assumed I was still in a relationship)
On my past appointment (December) I made a Merry Christmas card and I gave it to them. This woman was very happy and during the whole adjustment she was asking all kind of questions to me. I thought that was a bit strange, but I totally forgot about that. Next day, I received a phone call from her. I thought that maybe they should change my appointment date or something like that but she was talking differently. She started talking to me about how much his son (my ortho) was interested in me but because of professional ethics he couldn't say a thing. I certainly didn't expect that and I was just frozen there by the phone.
She continued talking to me about how much she liked me too and that was the reason why she called...She was very honest and sweet, but I couldn't say anything...I was mute! Anyway, she kind of implied that this was a secret, that he didn't know anything about this conversation. She also gave me his personal email address if I was interested in writing to him. I actually say to her that I was caught off guard, that I never considered that: "well, you never know, maybe if we meet out of the office someday...I don't know...well..." Geez, I know, I started saying nonsense, but I was still in shock. Anyway, she thought that I should write to him to say "Happy New Year" or something...Of course I didn't do that, I was just too confused about everything.
When this conversation ended I couldn't believe what had just happened. I'm sure he doesn't know anything about what his mother is doing because he is very professional, and I have to say that I'm too. Ethics are very important to me so I don't think I can do anything about this situation.
As I see it, if I ever get to date him, it would be very awkward to continue my orthodontic treatment with him, not to mention if things don't go right . I wouldn't like to change my ortho in the middle of the treatment. I decided to find a way to talk to his mother in private and explain her the situation, and the reason why I never wrote him an "Happy New Year" email.
The problem is that in different circumstances maybe I would date him. He is a year older than me and we honestly have many things in common, but I'm not sure about this, I can't tell anything by the short amount of time we speak each time!!!
Anybody had a similar experience? If I was about to end my treatment I should consider dating him...(I definitely wouldn't have to worry about my braces ) but I have 8 more months to go yet. I think I'm doing the right thing but... who knows?
I'm really interested in your opinions...I know some of you may think that his mother was very intrusive and her attitude was unethical to call me that way, but I think she was just trying to help in a very weird way.
What a surprise, don't you think??? He was the last person I thought it would be interested in me!!!
