My dentist experience

Well I guess it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

This is how it went...

First they put an oxygen mask on my nose and some nitrous oxide. It made my whole body go numb, and I felt like I was in a dream. I remember my mom and the nurse talking to each other but I don't remember anything they said.

Then the dentist came in and gave me several shots on the top of my mouth.

Then he casually said to me, "There might be a little pressure but this won't hurt"

so I felt a little bit of tugging and, there was my tooth!

He did the same on the other side, and that was it.

Now for the bottom,

I expected the same thing to happen, but, no, it couldn't be that easy.

He started to pull and I felt the pain, my whole body went stiff.

I closed my eyes and prayed that it would be over as soon as possible!

After the longest ten minutes of my life, they were finally done.

The nurse put some gauze in my mouth and told me to bite down, I found out a few minutes later that I would have to keep it in my mouth for about thirty minutes.

I still can't believe I'm missing 4 teeth.

But thankfully now I can look back and it's over.

Thank you for your prayers!
