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
youshake 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 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.

Just what did you think we were talking about ......
