A Dental Poem

I had my appointment today for my fillings. As we left it from a couple of weeks ago (when I was in for my cleaning) I was going to have two cavities filled and one was on a wisdom tooth. I was also going to have a tiny chip on the surface of one of my front teeth fixed up. After my cleaning when I went to the front desk to make my apppointment for the fillings, the guy told me to allow for TWO hours! I just knew that wasn't right. I have horrible teeth...I've been getting fillings my whole life! I am an old pro at this! I assumed he was just estimating long. But I started to get really nervous none the less.

Like I told my girlfriends; I've been through childbirth and almost a whole year of babyhood, but a few fillings leaves me shaking in my socks. Even though I am an "old pro" doesn't mean I don't hate it and get shaky and anxious feeling. So, I am practicing my cleansing breathes when I went to the desk to check in and she said "two composites and a wisdom tooth removal, right?"

Hahaha! Uh, no! I told her there was a miscommunication and I was NOT there for surgery that day! She went to talk to Dr. Li and came back to tell me that I was just going to get fillings today. So the coo-coo from before read the chart wrong and scheduled me for a removal! He also called me three times yesterday to remind me of my appointment. Once he left a message, once I missed the call and he didn't leave a message, and the last time I answered and told him to leave me alone! Not really. But you better believe I got my eye on that kid!

I am back now (as I wouldn't be blogging from the dentist chair, now would I?) and pleased as punch that it didn't hurt, I only gagged once, I am barely numb, and it didn't even take an hour from the time I walked in to the office to the time walked back in my house. We fooled that old wisdom tooth!

Also asked about Joey Pizza Rolly's little chipped tooth and she said it'll be fine. I knew it would but still wanted that professional a-ok. It has a little sharp part on it (doesn't bother him) and she said he'd either wear it down or hit it again and that would take care of it! Indeed it would!

I went to the dentist.
I had to get drilled.
The worst noise in the world,
as my tooth was filled.

I wore protective shades.
The dentist worked fast.
As my anxiety fades,
the fillings are now past.

The yahoo at the front desk
wasn't there today.
Thank lord baby jesus
that he was away!

Still have all my teeth!
Didn't get them this round!
I need those wisdom teeth
for all the wisdom they've found!
