Going to the Dentist is an odd experience. A lot of people hate to go, despise the whole process and avoid it like the plague. I don't mind going, especially if the Dentist and his people are nice folks. The office we go to has the nicest group of dental professionals I've ever seen - and I've been to a lot of dentists. It's a small practice and my Dentist is a good guy, newly a Grandpa.

It's an odd experience. The Dentist is practically holding your head in his lap, drilling and probing and working in a very personal way inside your body. He can be toiling away in close proximity to you for twenty minutes at a time. You're swapping body heat, you can smell his cologne and he can smell yours...And then they stuff some blood-absorbent sponges in your mouth, tell you to bite down, and they breeze out of the room like it aint no thing.

Feels like you were abandoned, somehow.

Hmmmm, my dentist must be one of a dying breed. he always says goodbye and "see ya next time!"
ReplyDeleteHe's the coolest- he knows I have a low pain threshold and always gives me enough pain killers to make me happy and pain free.
AND I always get a sticker for being a big girl and not crying.
