Chapter 82

“What happened in the hallway?” My look went hard as I knew he was deliberately avoiding the answer. I knew if it was truly something to worry about he’d have said something, so I didn’t pry any further and just nodded at him. The subject was fairly quickly dropped.

It wasn’t long before the doctor returned with a tray full of dental equipment. I hadn’t seen half of that stuff in years so it was a bit strange to me. I opened my mouth when he asked me to and the cloth pocket square was removed leaving the missing tooth gap to be on show.

“Goddess, That looks sore! The doctor exclaimed as he quickly turned to get the local anesthetic injection ready. He explained that he was going to numb my mouth in order to remove what could only be described as shrapnel. “Sharp pinch…” I winced as I felt it slide into my already swollen gum but it quickly became numb. He then took what I would call a pair of pliers, of course they were medical grade, and began to roughly and efficiently pull the remainder of my tooth out causing more blood to fill my mouth.

He placed a cylinder shaped gauze into the gap and told me to bite hard to stop the bleeding. He removed his rubber gloves and wrote a few notes down in my folder before flipping back to the page which I know to be my burns.
