15 Thoughts During A Dentist Appointment
Career Planning

When you hear the word "dentist", you cringe. You've been told horror stories of pliers, pulled teeth, and pain since you were a kid. But when you walk into the dentist's office, all preconceived ideas of the dreadful dentist are erased as you immerse yourself in the peaceful serenity of a zen-decor waiting room, laden with fountains and a cheerful receptionist. There's no way that the rumors about the dentist are true, you think to yourself. And yet you remember that you thought that last time, too...

1. Wow, it is peaceful here.

Deceivingly so. It’s like the calm before the storm. when you sit down and they give you a paraffin hand wax and let you watch TV comfortably, don’t be fooled my friends- you’re in the eye of the hurricane.

2. Why are you flossing my teeth with the force and motion of a jackhammer?

Newsflash Dentist, pushing harder isn't going to make up for seven years of not flossing.

3. My mouth must look like Dracula after finishing off a literal bloody Mary...

I never floss.

4. Is it better to admit that I don't floss or should I lie and say I floss twice a day?

Screw it. My gums are gushing blood. The Dentist would never believe me.

5. There is no way I have 16 "possible cavities"

I might not be a regular flosser but I do brush my teeth regularly! I'm not an animal, and this X-ray machine is incorrect. I swear, the dentist is just trying to make money off me. It's all a conspiracy, I'm convinced.

6. Wow, I'm so glad I'm allowed to watch TV though I can neither see nor hear it

7. Please stop talking to me.

I can't respond, obviously...

8. Please stop talking to each other.

I don't care about your personal lives.

9. Please say something!

This silence is so awkward

10. Wow this cleaning is taking awhile...

Oh, I'm getting three fillings today, too? Awesome, had no idea but the more, the merrier.

11. Mouth dam? Damn.

12. Give me gas. Drug me. Please.

13. I thought you said we were almost done.

14. Am I too old to pick out a toy from the treasure box?

I deserve this.

15. I cannot believe I pay for this.

I'd rather let my teeth rot.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
