Dental Appointment

I can’t avoid the dentist Though I really wish I could ‘Cause once I’m in that chair I know He’s up to nothing good. Of course, it’s for my benefit But man, it’s so unpleasant That being told I didn’t have to go Would be a present. The poking and the prodding, The drill with all its noise Add up to what I’m sure that Really nobody enjoys. I even hate that object Placed to suck up all the drool. He calls it “Mr. Thirsty” But that doesn’t make it cool. The only plus that I can see Is, when my visit’s done, At least 6 months will pass before There’ll be another one.

In the midst of getting a crown. He used this vibrating device when shooting the Novocaine in that really took alot of the anguish away. Sometimes new tech is a good thing. Keep smiling. :)

Excellent and I am pretty sure we cal all relate to your work! My dentist has a drill that is almost soundless, and to add to my comfort he plays classical music for background. Now you can't beat that. Pleasure to read. /M
