The Dentist

>>>>>>>When you hear the word dentist, most people shy away It means getting work done, like i did yesterday. A cavity appeared in my front upper molar Sending pain from my head to my shoulder. The dentist said, we can may be save the tooth But with so much pain, i said please pull it out. If that is your choice, then out it will come For i know it must be pain full, and thats no fun. With the freezing setting in, he ask how dose that feel? I said thats much better now, the pain was so real. The freezing has set, so its ready to come out This is going to leave a space in your mouth. Yes i know, as he wiggled it about He said this one is stubborn, but it finally popped out. O what a relief to have no more pain Now i wont feel like i am going to go insane. A small lecture was given on how to proceed When you get home, this is what you will need. I thanked them all for the job they had done Now i can get back to having some fun.

Hi Alan the first time I went to see the dentist he said put your hand up if you want me to stop. I put my hand up and he said I haven't started yet, I think he knew I was nervous. Now it dosen't bother me. Great poem, hope your coping with the gap. Leon

I squirmed when I read how the dentist "wiggled" the molar. Sometimes I wish they could just put us to sleep for every dental procedure. Did you see "Marathon Man"? The dental work performed on Dustin Hoffman always enters my mind when I have to visit a dentist. Good work!
