It's your first time. As you lie back your muscles tighten. You put him off for awhile 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 more experience, but it is 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 into 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 any easy entrance. You begin to plead and beg him to hurry, but he goes very slowly, wanting to cause you as little pain as possible. As he presses closer, going deeper, you feel the tissue give way; pain surges through- out your body and you feel the slight trickle of blood as he continues. He looks 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 moving in and out with skill but you are now to numb to feel him within you. After a few frenzied 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 and thank your dentist. After all, it was your first time to have a tooth pulled!
Cheers all,
Ashar
