Reflections on becoming

A day’s visit to your dentist

in

It’s incredible how many things could go on inside your mouth when visiting your dentist.

I am not an expert, so I don’t know what things are precisely called, but lying down on the seat felt like this:

Water jet here, water suction there, hands everywhere going in and out of your mouth, and lights appear too bright than they usually seem. Add some gargling in between. More water in your mouth with pressure so high they can remove and cut whatever it is that needs to be removed or cut. A tinge of blood. Pain. Discomfort (especially when your teeth are being cleaned or filled).

So many things could go on inside your mouth when visiting your dentist.

But at the end of it all, a fresh and clean feeling (add confidence there, too) swathes you.

It’s time to munch again.

P.S.: If you’ve been here with me for quite some time and enjoyed some of my work, you can also check me out on audio here.
