A day at the dentist
After having not seen a dentist in over a year, (due
to my move from the east to the west and the change in
my insurance) I went in for a check up a few weeks
ago. And lo and behold I had a cavity. (A first in
many years).
Being extremely fearful of drills, needles and
dentists, I opted to pay $25 extra for some N2O and
after one deep breathe, I was quickly overcome with
the wonderful feeling of euphoria and giddiness that
comes with those extra nitrogen atoms. And to top
it off, the hygentist laid me on a chair with a back
massager.
I must say, dental procedures have come a long way
since my first cavity many moons ago. Though it’s not
an experience I’d like to repeat, the lulling, gentle
vibrations of my back massage coupled with the
soothing, happy feeling brought on by the happy gas,
made it a more pleasant one.
