My Trip To The Dentist
My Trip to the Dentist

The dentist and my mother laughed at me hysterically as I sat in the dentist’s chair grasping my mother’s hand tightly, filled with anxiety and panic, not knowing what was going to happen next.
It was a regular day like any other, the birds chirping and the sound of tooting created a very busy and noisy atmosphere. I dreaded this day as I knew I had to go to the dentist for an annual checkup. I was very nervous and did not know what to expect. The fear started flowing through my body. I could hear my heart beating faster and quicker making a big ‘thud’ noise every second.
The time was now 4:15 pm in the afternoon and the hour approached. I was thinking of ways to avoid this trip. A thought occurred that perhaps I could pretend to be sick or even tired for that matter. My mother came into my room to sort out the laundry and then I said.’’Mom, I’m not feeling well, I think I’m coming down with a terrible cold, please check my temperature, I’m burning up’’. Luckily I devised a scheme. I quickly used the blow-dryer and heated up my skin as to make it look and feel more convincing and realistic. Her response was, ‘Charlie, I’ve known you since the day you were born, don’t you think by now that I’m well aware of your petty tricks and scams?’’ I said, ‘No, Mom I swear this time I’m very sick” and her reply was, ‘Charlie enough of the drama, please get ready to go to the dentist.’’
My plan had failed, my acting poor and the fear still managed to creep in.
I was now dressed and ready to go the dentist. We got into the car and from that moment onwards, I knew that there was no way out. I was TRAPPED!!!!.
We arrived at the hospital and were waiting to see the dentist. I was very ambivalent as enduring this sort of torture made my head spin. Ten minutes later, an echoing voice called out in the large hall, “Charlie Davies” and my heart stopped a beat. I knew there was no escape. Generally teenagers dislike going to the doctor as we fear the flu

    Nodding in acknowledgment to his friend, Jackson sat down on the bottom bunk and took off his boots and eyed the socks on his feet for a moment before stuffing them inside his boots. Once he slipped off his clothes with a little help from Harry, he put on a pair of shorts to sleep in, just in case he needed to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Wandering into the room with his medical bag in one hand and thermometer in the other, Frank shoved the thermometer in Jackson’s mouth before he voice a protest to shut him up and prepared the injection of antibiotics and pain medication he promised earlier. As Jackson shook his head with the medical implement sticking out of his mouth, Harry snickered at his friend’s reaction. As Jackson’s…

    When the therapy session finally came to a close, the patients all headed into the dining hall. I was almost too nervous to eat my dinner, but it wasn’t particularly appetizing to begin with. As I shoved the last bland bite into my mouth, I turned my silverware into the bucket and raced to Dr. Veer’s office. I knocked on the door and he prompted me to enter. I sat down anxiously in the chair across from him, awaiting his decision. He smiled a…

Cursing and pleading came from the nurses as they tried to get my leg up and hold me still. I wanted to be still but i was no longer in control.

    My hospital bed was ice cold and the bleak and empty white walls depressed me as the uncomforting thought that I would have to stay here for maybe another week brought tears to my eyes.

The mommy was making dinner while the daddy was watching television and supervising the children while they did their homework.

    “Wait up you two!” my dad exclaimed, but I barely heard him because it seemed like he was a mile away. My brother and I started out on a twisty ride that would eventually turn us upside down. The line was very blunt, and in about 15 minutes, I found myself plopping down in the comfy seat of the ride. The ride started by pointing straight down and proceeded right into the 360 degree turn. After that thrill of a lifetime, we went on the whole day shopping and going on as many thrilling rides as we could, while also looking at all of the amazing other things the park had in store for us. At around 8:30 P.M, just an hour before it closed, my dad decided that it was time to leave and go back home. I found myself staring up at all of the amazing things, and begging my dad if we could come back one…

    A sudden tapping of high heeled shoes from the corridor awakens me from my day dreaming. I look up. My pulse quickens, and my hands sweat.
