My First Visit to the Dentist
One of my earliest memories is going out with my mum to visit the
dentist. It was half past two on a bright, cheery day in spring. Being
only five years old, I was convinced by my mom to visit the dentist
and check out my then milk teeth.
Boy was I excited! I wasn’t so sure what a “dentist” was. I only knew
that I was a truly ‘brave and courageous’ boy, according to my mum, to
agree so readily to the trip. On the way to the dentist, my stomach
grumbled suddenly. My mom said, “Son, shall we get some snack before
we continue with our journey?” So we stopped at a shop, and grabbed
some food and drinks. My stomach felt at ease after that. Half an hour
later, we finally arrived at the dentist.
I wondered at how white and clean the place was. What was this place?
It was an almost empty room with a receptionist behind the counter. On
the wall were many posters. One by one, I started examining them. They
looked familiar; I wondered again, what could this place be? With all
my pent up curiosity, I asked my mom, “Mom, where are we?” Mom didn’t
reply but instead continued reading her magazine that she had been
holding for the past few minutes. So I just sat beside my mom and fell
asleep.
A few minutes later, my mom woke me up and we went into a room. There
was a stranger who was dressed in a white overcoat, and a stethoscope
around his wrinkled neck. He was really ancient with a mop of snow
white hair. At that precise moment, I freked out. I was certain who
this person was. I screamed and quickly ran out of the room. My mom
and the dental nurse chased after me, I couldn’t escape. I was taken
back to the room and was scolded by my mom. My mom held on to my arm
tightly, I was overwhelmed.
The nurse helped me sit on the dental chair.
