A visit to the dentist

         A visit to the dentist

         There is nothing most of us dread more than a visit to the dentist. It can only mean pain and trauma for someone with fears. Yet alas in our world, we all must get there at some time or another.

         I want to say the story about my tooth. It began 4 days ago.  My tooth hurt through the night. I had to take a painkiller to lessen the pain. all those days I drank these pills. On the third day I had a temperature. I looked at my gum and saw the gum on the right side is swollen. Then I show it to my mother and she said that it grows the wisdom tooth. I could not eat, drink and learn the lessons. I had a headache. I cried but I was afraid to go to the dentist. I think it's a pain will stop itself. Worst of all I did not get a wink of sleep the whole night through. Yesterday, I told my mother that I could not have my toothache. I was very upset that I will not go to university. My mom said that I must went to the dentist today. I was horrified, but I had no choice. At nine o'clock I waited outside the dentist's office.  I was greeted by the dental assistant, a very nice black woman in her 30's. She gave me a coupons for my dentist. I went to the doctor's office then I sat down and we talked for a few minutes. She wrote down my particulars and told me to wait a moment. I told her about my toothache. Meanwhile the tooth still ached like mad. I was ushered to the dentist's chair. Normally I would run away from the frightening surgery with all its horrible drills and pliers, but I did not. I thought I would be a terrible surgery to remove a wisdom tooth. So I sat down on the reclining chair while the dentist kept saying some reassuring words. I relaxed somewhat. He asked me to open my mouth. I did so. The dentist examined my teeth and said that they are all well. But there is one wise tooth that interferes with everything else. It is located at the bottom. I asked again. because my pain was in the upper part, but a wisdom tooth at the bottom. The  doctor answered that it usually happens. When a tooth ache below the top of the pain given. I was surprised. In the summer I have grown wise tooth  to the bottom of the tooth, but it didn’t fully opened. And now it can not get out. That’s why I hurt all over. The doctor sent me to do an x-ray. But the  office was closed. I sat and waited and thought why I would do the operation if it will come out itself. I went to my dentist again and said what I was thinking. She smiled and answered that I can do this only if I do her instructions. She gave a prescription and I went home very happy. Of course I now feel a little pain but I'm happy that my teeth are okay, and I did not do the operation. The visit to the dentist was not too bad after all.
