Conversation between my dentist and I:
Dentist: Why hello Heather.
Me: Hi.
D: So it looks like we have a simple cavity to fill. We must have let it go. (stupid crap about how to prevent another cavity). Amy will you go get me *insert dental words here* So Heather, how have you been?
M: Okay.
D: Only okay, what’s wrong you are usually happier around me?
M: Well I’m really not that excited about this.
D: (laughs) Oh you are funny, but I have great hands, I promise you it won’t hurt.
M: You promise?
D: Of course I promise, you trust me right?
M: Yeah.
D: So how old are you now?
M: I’m still 16.
D: Are you driving around town in your car?
M: Yeah.
D: Should I be scared leaving today?
M: No, my dad drove.
D: Ok well *Amy returns* I going to numb you, is something wrong?
M: They didn’t numb me last time.
D: Maybe I should go ask your dad, well I’m sure he won’t mind. Ok I’m going to numb these 4 teeth. I usually put a big shot back here (touches the back of my mouth), but I want to do one right here instead.
M: Okay.
D: You look like I’m going to hurt you.
M: I AM EXPECTING TO DIE.
D: Ohhhhh okay. (laughs). Now I am going to give you the shot, but first I have to put the gel on. Relax its just gel. Are you still with us?
M: Yes.
D: Ok………………………………...........................................................................................................*brings the shot thingy toward me*
M: Whoa *I flinch back in my seat*
D: Its okay Heather, you trust me, remember. Just close your eyes and I PROMISE you’ll be OK. This is the hard part. Massages my jaw till he’s ready to drill.
OK WELL THAT IS PRETTY MUCH IT FOR THE PROCEDURE EXCEPT THAT HE KEPT SAYING I LOOKED LIKE I WAS ABOUT TO DIE.
EVERYTHING IS DONE AND ASISSTANT STARTS TO PUT ME UP IN THE CHAIR…
D: Wait, she has to see it in the mirror first. What do you think?
H: It looks good .
D: Thanx, I’ll walk you out.
H: OK. *we are walking and I smiled really big at him(OMFG)*
D: What???
H: Nothing, it just feels weird.
D: Well you still trust me right?
H: Right.
D: And you’ll tell all your friends at school how great of a dentist I am right?
H: Right.
D: Okay, then I’ll see you soon, have a great day.
H: You too.
