Dentist!!

  

        From the moment someone takes their first step into the dentist office, butterflies are already swirling in your stomach. I always get the feeling like i'm going in for a major surgery even if its just something simple like a filling. I precariously walk in the office and gaze around, usually it's bland white office with a few altruistic secretaries at the front desk ready to make small talk so you feel better. Looking around the room you may notice the same convoluted look on people's faces becuase their all  thinking the same thing ," get me out of here", or " god its been like 3 years since my last appointment im screwed."
      When you finally get in the room it gets worse becuase they make you sit in the chair. Its not just any chair, in fact its usually reminds me of a venus fly trap becuase it looks harmless and comfortable until your within its grasp. so you sit their for 15 minutes before the dentist steps in the room. This way you can stare at all the drills, and pointy tools their going to poke around your mouth with. Usually during this fifeteen minutes i calm down and the dentist will sneak in behind me like a rogue assassin and be like, " So how's everything going, are you still in school or at the same job?" Next they'll start calling you buddy, or hunnie to try and make you feel more comfortable even though your about ready to run out of the damn room. Finally, you get asked to open up wide, at this moment you think of every time you forgot to floss, brush, and ignored a cavity; you also begin to start praying that its not too late to save your poor teeth.
        The dentist will start stroking his chin and make a couple of hmm and mhm noises followed by a series of x-rays. Now that your mind is thinking of every possible problem there could be, you will get probed and prodded several times in an area that hurts and they'll ask you after, " are you okay", or " that didn't hurt did it." I always have a cartoon pictured in my head with the nihilistic mad scientist dentist who laughs maniacally and uncontrollably as they drill in my mouth, but its usually not so drastic. Before the dentist lets you know the results they will keep you in suspense for another 10 minutes and always start off by saying well its, " not to bad", or we can fix this." The next words that come out of their mouth usually involve you  shelling out a couple grand in dental work, and how Becky ( the secratary) will setup a consoltation for further examination. Finally your about ready to get out and their already trying to bring you back in, but unfortunatley the dentist is a necessary evil we must deal with in life.
