The Dentist I

I'm sure most of us are afraid of our dentists... It's plain torture just hearing the sound of the drill...

Going back to when I was a kid, my dad would take me to this old dentist with initials E.C. in downtown Manila. Everytime I would go there, she would discover some new hole in my teeth. If there's no hole she'll make a hole and show to my dad and would drill me till kingdom come! In other words, she conned my dad into believing that i need a filling. Then my dad thought this dentist was so good that he introduced her to my aunts.

Now I'm not alone in the torture shack during summertime. Everytime, my cousin goes in first I can hear the drilling the screams of pain and the opera music coming from EC's clinic would make me wanna go take a crap.

Now that I'm all grown up, same oral hygiene habbits and same sweet tooth I seldom have cavities... I now go to a new dentist EC must be probably dead by now anyways. And to my surprise, when they check for cavities they just use mirrors no yanking and scrapping like EC used to do...

All I can say, after the first visit to a dentist after a long time of Torture was I just want to picture me holding a barena/drill and drilling the crap out of EC's teeth for payback. Son of a Bitch!
