Dentistal Visits Make Me Unhappy (a theme, by beth)

Dentistal Visits Make Me Unhappy
by beth (age: 32, going on 6)

I had to go to the dentist today for a check-up before I came to work. I saw 4 different people there.

The first lady was the receptionist and she said that I had to sign a new "receipt of statement" (it was pink!) because the office was now going to file my insurance for me, which is nice. She had blonde hair.

The second lady I saw at the dentist office was mean and made me bite down on this red thing that is too big for my mouth, and it cuts the inside of my mouth and makes me gag. She yelled at me because in order to bite down on this red thing in my mouth I have to move my teeth but if I don't move my teeth I can't bite down and it falls out of place. She yelled at me when it fell out of place, too. Then, when she tried taking an xray, I gagged (twice!) and got xrays in my brain. I didn't get to see that picture.

The third lady I saw was the dental hygienist and she cleaned my teeth with a pick that made my teeth and gums hurt, even though she said my teeth were already pretty clean. But this time she used cinnamon polish instead of mint. I like cinnamon better, even though my teeth hurt more. She gave me a turquoise toothbrush!

Then the doctor came in and said everything looked really good and that I should think about Invisalign for my bottom teeth, which are crowded on one side, but I said no. The dentist is very quiet and nice. He has white hair, and blue eyes, and very light skin, and a white jacket. He's like a ghost!

Then the mean lady wanted to make me come back again in six months, but I said no, I'll come back in a year (because I don't like her but I didn't tell her that).

And I'm not doing any more xrays again because they make my mouth hurt for DAYS. And also my teeth hurt, too. And last night I bit my cheek when I was sleeping and that hurts, too.

The end.
