Dentist

Daily writing prompt
What fears have you overcome and how?
View all responses

Days at the dentist filled me with dread

even the act of cleaning filled me with fear

nowadays though – it isn’t so bad

to get my pearly whites all polished and fixed

injections were the stumbling block – but after a talk the

sight of the syringe and the short sharp scratch

took no time at all getting done

    The dentist is so scary. I am 48 now and I have finally been to one that listened to my fear and took me seriously. I am happy that you found the strength to maybe not overcome your fear, but at least work with it and do what you must. Kitt
