At the hospital dentist: say arrrrrrhhhhh x

There is nothing about the dentist that can possibly be natural. Sam claims to love the rides up and down in the chair. I noticed his closed body language. I remember trips to the dentist being daunting. There is nothing natural about the spot light in your face. The green/yellow florescent lighting. The surgical face mask and uniform and the trays of pokey metal tools laid out like weapons ready to draw on the next victim!

I think its essential for the dentist himself to have kind eyes over that mask. It should be written in to the job description. What else is there to look at when you have a handful if mental in your mouth and the smell of plastic gloves pressed on your nose. Something like a kind eye and a soft voice can only help you in these times.

Sam got off scot - free. That means in our book, he's safe from the dentist for another six months. A bit like a get out of jail free card! x
