The cool air at the dentist made me forget the pain

For as long as I can remember existing on this Earth I have always hated the dentist. I can’t remember a single day in my life where I didn’t hate the dentist. In fact I believe I started hating the dentist the very first time my parents first took me to the dentist. I didn’t like them looking in my mouth, I didn’t like them poking out my teeth and I didn’t like all the tools that they were using inside my mouth. It just felt so uncomfortable and vulnerable and I always avoided the dentist in my adult life as often as I could. I liked having a good smile, sure but it wasn’t the most important thing in my life. I would have rather avoided the pain and discomfort of the dentist and have perfectly straight teeth. However when I started having problems with my wisdom teeth and my 20s I had to go to the dentist to have it pulled. I put off making that appointment for so long because I hated the thought of it but the tooth started hurting to the point where I couldn’t be avoided anymore and so I had to go to the dentist. The entire time I was there I was being polite but I hated being there. The only thing I could take my mind off of the fact that they were quite literally yanking on my wisdom tooth, was the wonderful cool air conditioning system. I couldn’t feel anything obviously because of the painkillers, but apart from the painkillers that air conditioning system was also helping to calm me down. There was something about the touch of the cool air conditioner that just felt so calm and peaceful. I just couldn’t quite explain it. Thanks to that distraction the experience was over in no time.
