It's your first time.
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.
