As you lie back, your muscles tighten.
You put him off for a while searching
for an excuse, but he refuses to be swayed
as he approaches you. He asks if you're
afraid and you shake your head bravely.
He has had more experience, but it's the
first time his finger has found the right
place. He probes deeply and you shiver;
your body tenses; but he's gentle like
he promised he'd be. He looks deeply within
your eyes and tells you to trust him - he's
done this many times before. His cool
smile relaxes you and you open wider to
give him ;more room for an easy entrance.
You begin to plead and beg him to hurry,
but he slowly takes his time, wanting to
cause you as little pain as possible.
As he presses ;closer, going deeper,
you feel the tissue give way; pain surges
throughout your body and you feel the
slight trickle of blood as he continues.
He looks at you concerned and asks
you if it's too painful.Your eyes are
filled with tears but you shake your head
and nod for him to go on. He begins going
in and out with skill but you are now too
numb to feel him within you. After a few
moments, you feel something bursting within
you and he pulls it out of you, you lay panting,
glad to have it over. He looks at you and smiling
warmly, tells you, with a chuckle; that you
have been his most stubborn yet most
rewarding experience. You smile and
thank your dentist. After all,it was your first
time to have a tooth pulled.
