Away at the dentist No relief all night If he starts to hurt me his hand I will bite When I open my mouth he says, "There it is. You've got a cavity." Well duh, Doc. Gee whiz I'll need an injection to handle the fill My request was ignored cause I hear the drill This is taking too long I think I might faint This guy must be a quack A dentist he ain't

I sympathise, Mark. Recently I had a tooth that cracked and its filling came out. No pain whatsoever but the dentist said it had to come out, which gave me a toothache that lasted three weeks! Enjoyed this fun write. Congratulations. Terry

I'd say it's time to get out of that chair and find a new dentist. Jan's sure to love this one, Mark. It's great to see you posting, but it's not nearly often enough ;-)

Oh I feel the pain! Had to have my first tooth extraction…thought it would be easy…what a nightmare…then waiting for my hubby and the insurance…finally calling to get the implant started…yup now have to go in for a consult first…sigh…hate it all…why do I have to be patient being a patient. Did I say I hate this…lol! Great write!
