As you lie back your muscles tighten.
You put him off for a while searching for excuses, 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 fingers 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 ease 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
trickles 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 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 pullls it out of you.
You lay there panting, glad to have it over with.
He looks at you and smiles 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 time to have a tooth pulled!
