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 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 you head, and nod for him to go
on.
He begins moving in and out with skill, but you are now too
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 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.
