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!
