In the Dentists chair.
I come in for my check up.
"Sit down and open wide."
Now the time for truth.
There is no place to hide.
He peers into my mouth,
small mirror in his hand.
Poking here and there,
the bit i cannot stand.
"Open wider please."
I mumble a reply.
picking and a prodding,
i hear the Dentist sigh.
"Not to bad this time,
your not a sweet extremist,
but you must pay a visit
to the Dental plan Hygienist.
No fillings was the plan,
though i know he has the skill.
To keep it really painless,
but i just cant stand the drill!
An appointment is then made.
To have a scale and polish.
The build up of that tarter,
will have to be demolished.
My Mother will be pleased.
She is my judge and jury.
For when it comes to teeth,
she"s the original Tooth Fury!
I can relate to your anxiety with the dentist.I had not gone in a long time till last year because did not have health insurance. As things turned out had to have not only cleaning and typical x-rays but 3 teeth yanked. Overall dentist said he was amazed how great a condition my teeth were in considering the time passing between visits.
