My Tooth Fairy

I am sharing my write-up which happened to me in January of 2005. It took me like ever to relocate this old write-up:

How I met my Tooth Fairy!

Visiting the Dentist is a nightmare for everyone and I am no exception. Even an apple a day won't keep these guys away.

Today morning I was left with no other option but to visit my dentist. At around 10am I went to the dental clinic which is near to my house and runned by a married couple in their early 40's. All along the way to the clinic I was grumbling to myself, how much awkward and agonisingly painful will it be today? As usual I left my sandals at the door and entered the clinic.

I was startled to find a beautiful young lady in the doctor's room. I was so stunned that the moment I saw her my mouth automatically went ajar and she had the loveliest of all smiles on her face when she saw the expression on my face. Then it struck me that she was my dentist today and the whole clinic was empty except for the both of us. I felt as though God has brought me to CANDY LAND where there were no ANTS!! I never did believe in fairy's, but now I really do believe in tooth fairy's!!

She came forward and asked me for my OP Card, I could see that she was stammering with her words. She asked what my problem was. Strangely, I was also struggling with my words. Surely there was some chemistry boiling........ I was really hoping for the best. Moments later I was lying on my back on the chair and she was staring into my mouth. She took a step back and intellectually told me that I needed a filling in my tooth, as if I didn't know. Truly, I needed a filling in my heart more than my tooth. Then she confessed that she was new to this clinic and that I will have to come later in the evening for the filling as she didn't know where the temporary filling base was kept in the clinic.

I knew it was either now or never. I lied to her that there was no possibility that I would be able to come this evening as I have lot of work today and won't be able to leave work early. She smiled as though she understood what I REALLY meant! She took her time in finding the filler base and minutes later she was fixing my tooth. Her hands were all over my face. Who needs anesthesia when she is around? She did the filling for free, like she wanted me to come back again. I started shooting some doubt 's about my tooth as if I was really curious. Finally I asked her when I was supposed to come back, to which she replied "whenever you feel the ache". We smiled at each other. I thanked her and exited.

If only she knew that the real ache is in my heart, I am already feeling an aching feeling on all my tooth. I am eating my apples and praying for the next ache :))

OWWW! I feel it already, I think I need to visit my tooth fairy soon, can't wait.
