Deep Cleaning, Part 2

Dentist: Isn't it so much better?

Me: Much better. I love flossing now. No more bleeding.

Despite knowing what to expect or because of that, I was more tense than before. No guided imagery can take away that pain. "You gotta relax. You're going to break my finger," he said. It probably didn't help that the TV in the room was tuned in to Shark Week.

Dentist: Next time, we'll do the filling and the polish. You want to schedule it next week or do you want a break from me for a week?

Me: A break. Please.
