Mutiny in my mouth

Second in part of unfortunate series..well now the title is certainly a rip off of Mister Lemony Snicket...anyways lets go on with the blog shall we...

Anyone of you who suffer from cavities would certainly sympathize with me here. I consider myself as a victim of the modern day concentration camp run by the likes of men welding the savage drill. First of all i never would have developed a sweet tooth had i known what kind of repercussions i'd have to face in the future. Nay, ofcourse it was too late when i realised that one can certainly break a bone or two in their body than to get the cavities fixed.

To top it all i have a wisdom tooth which has sprouted out of my gums sideways..ie it's in a sleeping position...a haven for tooth bacteria to prepare ground for a murderous assault. A visit to the dentist confirmed that it needed extraction, as had happened earlier like all his counterparts who had staged mutiny in my mouth, this one too wanted his share of the kill. How can something from your own body rebel against you and win the war on you by siding with your most feared enemy?? why me ??

Had i not had enough tortorous sessions , each one bad enough to kill me. A visit to the dentist apart from blowing a big hole in your pocket and teeth, makes one feel like a moron with cotton stuffed inside the mouth, a look which Marlon Brando adopted and became famous as The Godfather.

Brando aside the fate of my tooth has not been decided yet. As i wait to get over my "Dentistophobia", there are some reports about people with similar fate as mine getting martyred in their mission.

Meanwhile here's something i found out about their patron saint..
The patron saint of dentists is Saint Apollonia, martyred in Alexandria by having all her teeth violently extracted.

And another fact about.... Dental phobia is the serious, often paralyzing fear of seeking dental care. It has been reliably reported that 50% of the American population does not seek regular dental care. An estimated 9-15% of all Americans avoid much needed care due to anxiety and fear surrounding the dental experience. This translates to some 30 - 40 million people so afraid of dental treatment that they avoid it altogether.

May my teeth rest in peace.
