A 'denting' visit

Could there be a position more hopelessly embarrassing, more helplessly vulnerable than reclining on the dentist’s chair with one’s mouth wide open? Or a pain more blinding than the one caused by all the awful apparatus that those dentists use? Or a glee more malicious than the one on Her Highness The Dentist’s face as she shows you her work which looks like nothing but royal carnage inside your mouth?

Didn’t I read somewhere recently that a dentist invented the electric chair? It must be true.

P.S.- Oh yes, I am still very much here, alive and kicking in the virtual world, making most of the limited time. They are talking of a restricted internet access vis-a-vis total ban. I am, needless to say, rooting for the former.

Looks like someone had a bad tooth day! I am yet to know anyone who wilfully submits herself to a dentist's skilled hands. You know what, I always wondered how a dentist feels sitting with her mouth open in a dentist's chair......poetic justice!
