Dentist Poems

Confucius 551 BC-479 BC

Wise man say, “No laugh up sleeve, while wear heart on same.
For misconstrued may be, lose heart's desire, passion's flame.”

Happy dentist say, when at chair, always looking down in mouth,
“If two-thirty appointment, timely arrive, open wide, north and south.”

Smart dry cleaner say, “When laundering get old, ironing fatigues.
Fresh stuff, no fluff nor fold, we take

Where to begin?
Perhaps with the hum of the drill
lurking in some unseen chamber,
already rehearsing my name?
Or the taunting clock counting down
the minutes?

I’d like to write a poem
about something else besides
dentistry but this is the
loudest thought I’ve got
and it’s already wearing 
my favorite shirt
and deciding if the black flats
or pink sneakers 
will be more forgiving
when I’m

Cool donkey earned fame as a fine dentist.
For toothache his dinner glum tiger missed.
      His wide open mouth of dread,
      the donkey looked at, and said,
“your canines need extraction, I insist.”

Came Tiger with sore, rotten teeth
To Doc Donkey to get some relief
“Smells like you've had treats,
Just what did you eat?”
Numbed Tiger said, “Ath, juth a pieth”

Premium MemberDentist OverTalks

dentist has a plethora of sedation devices and techniques
Or so she thinks, not realizing I am a dental PTSD survivor.
I am in a twilight state, until I hear and smell the DD – dreaded drill.
I refuse to go lightly, because I have been hurt by many dentists.
This dentist spends two or three days in my

Premium MemberThe Chair

I'm frozen here
And shall remain
While anaesthetic
Eases pain 

My lips are fat
My tongue just lies
No words untrue
While spittle flies 

A mouth aghast
While tools engage 
And rubber fingers
Squeak outrage

Construction
Of the oral kind
So mastication 
Is refined

When will all politicians agree

They say to find the truth

So we should ask a dentist and see

Dentist appointments cause me to linger,
Someplace betwixt dread and the blackness,
Fright’s version of despair, 
Wistful and aching with silent prayers,
Silent, silence, soundless – still,
All the reasons, the responses, the requisites,
For those hours, endless times
Spent, losing my mind, 
With mouth opened to oblige
Fingers pressed against my gums,
Forcing the enemy’s needles,
Taste of lidocaine, breathing in and out,
Through

I woke up today from a long ugly nap that was real
was in a horrible dentist chair, same old  ridiculous feel….
whacko of a dentist had taken extra-long potty break
irritating me for I had one sister of a tooth ache

sent for his assistant who was supposed to come in
refused after she saw all the spittle

Doctor Amir Akel My Dentist

In the dentist's chair, where fears reside,
Dr. Amir Akel, compassion as his guide.
With empathy vast, a soothing hand,
Pain's specter expelled, a gentle touch.

Effortlessly he worked, a master's hand,
Extracting roots that plagued the land.
No reminder remained of the tooth's distress,
His skill, a balm, pain's gentle egress.

In the clinic's hum, a healing spell,
Dr. Amir Akel, where worries

Premium MemberGremlin Grim Fairy

Gremlins are in my tooth today
Chipping it out causing decay.
The ache is getting much more worse
My bottom tooth hurts where they lurk.

Can hear those critters laugh and play
Jaw and neck aches more everyday.
Strong painkillers don't help ease it away
The gremlins deeper digging is well under way.

They channel a tunnel toward the root
These tiny things are

With trepidation the dentist I called
Gripped by agony a terrible ache
He took one look absolutely appalled
I was in blue funk and started to shake.

Blue latex gloves he snapped on with relish
My thoughts at that moment “I cannot win”
Fearful and ridged felt sure I would perish
Many decayed teeth, clearly 'tis a sin!

Premium MemberKeiths Toothache

His cheeks had bloomed up and over his chair
His mouth was extraordinarily large now, his face looked like a bear
Let me guess, toothache? I asked, recognizing the signs as my own.
His tongue was so swollen, he could not gasp, answer or phone.

I called up the dentist and made him an appointment for two.
I hate that
