Dental Work

Until yesterday, I could never figure out why people didn't like going to the dentist.

I mean, if it's painful, you're given pain meds, right?

Until yesterday, I'd never had anything drilled. Drilling is beyond words: I was sure the drill was going to end up in my upper jaw and poke out through my eyeball. The vibration nearly made me sick--my head felt, all of a sudden, not-me. It was totally repulsive.

Apologies for all of the times I've laughed inwardly at people bemoaning trips to the dentist. I'll be joining you now.
