Like Pulling Teeth

Submitted by ub on

Nobody likes going to the dentist. I just experienced having my tooth pulled and I recalled that popular phrase, just like pulling teeth.

While it should not bring us pain, having my tooth pulled was a real strain. I can also say I felt a slight pressure as my tooth was being loosened and extracted.

I also heard a snapping or creaking sound. This was perfectly normal, as the tooth and its socket are both hard tissues and mine came out in two pieces.

Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, but as far as my tooth was concerned, the dentist told me it could not be saved, so I had it removed. 

I mentioned to the doctor that it reminded me of the Bill Cosby and Three Stooges comedy routines.
