Dental Woes

Today I experienced how it is to be the center of the attraction, generally a common person in our country is a center of attraction on his birthday or wedding, exceptions being that you are a celebrity or the news channels have recently hyped something about you.

Well nothing of that sort with me, I was the center of the attraction because I went to a dentist today. After a passing a hell of one week in acute pain with no effect of the painkiller the D-day for me arrived when my root canal surgery was to be done.

I was made to sit on this huge chair, which was equipped with so many weird tools, the sight of which gave me jitters that they are supposed to do something inside your mouth.

After getting a nice scolding from the doctor on losing my older prescription, he said “eik paper tu sambhal nahi payi aap, dant kaise sambhale hongay”.

After all this one really pretty girl showed up, who was a dentist and supposed to do my surgery, and I found her no more pretty when she put that huge anesthetic injection in my mouth but ya she was pretty and was sweetly humming some song all the time.

The nightmare though, was yet to come, suddenly three four men came around me looking with keen interest what is happening inside my mouth, probably they were interns, the girl was explaining them “ok now you have to insert a needle like this” “this is how you see the canal”. I preferred to close my eyes, though my jaws were aching like anything. Once it was done, those interns appeared again, and the next moment I found some weirdoes touching my chin and cheeks and admiring the tooth as if some diamond. I was like a live example for them and couldn’t even say a word with those mirror and forceps inside.

When finally done I was happy it was over but to my surprise she said, “there are three sittings more”. I was like noooooo.

I have been to many doctors, dermatologists, ophthalmologist, etc. etc. but going to the dentist is the worst of all, so better take care of those buddies next time they are hell important.
