Eyeballing

Laying there with my mouth jacked open I was slightly panicked. Senorita Dental Hygenist had no regard for the god given elasticity of my mouth and felt the need to peel, pry and pull my lips to my ears. Tears were welling in my eyes and my right ear lobe was safely tucked in my bottom lip. I simply closed my eyes. When the dentist came in he talked to me. Of course I couldn’t answer but I felt the need to make some eye contact with him. That made me feel uncomfortable considering that his chin was practically resting on my nose. I divided my chair time between unfocused staring at the ceiling, quick darting glances at the dentist when he spoke and squeezing my eyes shut, I just didn’t know what to do! Where do you look when the dentist has your mouth jacked open? Am I the only person who worries about this? I need answers. 2 visits this week filled 4 cavities and sealed 10 teeth - 10! I have another appointment after Christmas where I have to get 4 more cavities fill - yikes! 4 cavities worth of chair time and I need to know what the hell to do with my eyes people!
