It's your first time.

As you lie back your muscles
tighten.

You put him off for a while
searching for an excuse,

but he refuses to be swayed as he
approaches you.

He asks if you're afraid and you
shake your head bravely.

He has had more experience,

but it's the first time his finger
has found the right place.

He probes deeply and you shiver;
your body tenses;

but he's gentle like he promised
he'd be.

He looks deeply within your eyes and
tells you to trust him

- he's done this many times before.


His cool smile relaxes you

and you open wider to give him more
room for an easy entrance.

You begin to plead and beg him to
hurry, but he slowly takes his time,


wanting to cause you as little pain
as possible.

As he presses closer, going deeper,


you feel the tissue give way;

pain surges throughout your body

and you feel the slight trickle of
blood as he continues.

He looks at you concerned and asks
you if it's too painful.

Your eyes are filled with tears

but you shake your head and nod for
him to go on.

He begins going in and out with
skill

but you are now too numb to feel him
within you.

After a few moments,

you feel something bursting within
you

and he pulls it out of you,
you lay panting,

glad to have it over.

He looks at you and smiling warmly,


tells you,
with a chuckle;

that you have been his most stubborn


yet most rewarding experience.

You smile and thank your dentist.


After all, it was your first time to
have a tooth pulled.

What were you
thinking?  You dirty minded
thing!
