Dentist Visit

DENTIST VISIT

I need to visit the dentist
my appointment is today.
A piece of tooth has broken,
must be repaired without delay.

Oh how I dreaded the dentist
when visited in times past.
I had to pluck up courage
to be rid of the pain at last.

I have a fear of needles
though they're a necessity,
as able to numb the gum
and then explore the cavity.

I recall that awful sound
from one that is loud and shrill,
the tool a dentist uses
when working that horrid drill.

I'm ready for the dentist,
I no longer fear or shake,
for the tooth to be repaired
sits on my dental plate.

Vivien Wade October 31, 2020 at 11:13 PM Thanks for comment Lindsay. Many of my poems have a punch line. I also want to say that I enjoyed your poem of the day on Robin Hood, and will read more. Blessings, Vivien

Jan Allison September 7, 2018 at 2:55 AM I think many can relate to fear of the dentist - I was terrified and didn't go for years but had to get over the fear when my son was born, have also recently overcome my fear of blood tests and needles - I eat a sweet and have a bottle of water with me - can even go on my own now!. Wrote a poem about the dentist toowww.poetrysoup.com/poem/ooh_that_hurt_1052793. :-) hugs Jan xx
