A visit I will never forget or ever regret

So there I was sitting at that new colorful room playing with other kids and all kinds of toys, waiting to be called in the office, then I heard: "Karla come in". I got so nervous just looking at the lady, and when I entered the office...oh! the smell, the smell of a dentist office, isn't it just unique? How could I ever forget it! I was just a 7 year-old confused girl and I still remember. I layed down in the long white chair waiting to be tortured and the assistant comes in and tells me: "If you behave you will get to go to treasure chest and get your favorite toy." Behave? I thought, was it really going to be that bad? So a tall blonde doctor came in the room with a big smile on her face. "Hello there Karla, I am you new doctor and I will help you fix your teeth, now let me take a look at that..." I opened my mouth as wide as I could and after a while I could only hear my mom crying, I knew it was not a good thing.

It was my two front teeth, they were entirely broken, and the worst part, they were not my baby teeth anymore, I lost them a couple of years before that, and they will not grow back. So the doctor and her assistant started taking out some scary looking tools and I started freaking out as she was getting closer and closer to my mouth with a needle on her hand and the minute I felt it in my mouth I started yelling and screaming and I even kicked the assistant (I am still embarrassed of it) and then my dad had to hold me so hard I got more mad! He sat down at the chair and sat me on his lap and while he holded my hands I felt the anesthesia and could not do anything but cry and yell. I thought my mom would take my side and defend me but no, all she said was: "come on, behave now, be good" and after a while it was: "Can you shut up already!?" At the same time all of this mess was going on, the dentist, with her happy face, was singing an elephant song to try to calm me, I was freaking out and all she did was sing, that was the day I found out she was the most patient person ever. Her patience helped me out year after year. I spent all of my childhood going to that dentist, many years of crying, yelling and going crazy but I finally finished the job 4 months ago, my last visit. I still attend the same doctor, she became a very special person in my life and this experience I will never forget.
