First Time at the Dentist
Ngaio Tamiana Room 12

Do you remember your first visit to the dentist? When I first went to the dentist I was in a panic. The dentist told me to lie down on the seat. Then I had to put some glasses on. At first I was calm but when I saw the needle I started to panic. When I am afraid I always believe that I am not. I tried to be brave and strong. But I cried when the dentist put the needle into my mouth.
It was bleeding when she pulled the needle out so she put a cotton bud to stop the bleeding in my gums. It was scary. When I got off the dentist chair she showed me my tooth. It was kind of yucky and small. I saw a little bit of blood on my tooth. It looked strange to me. The dentist put my tooth in a plastic bag and wrapped it up in tissue. When I went back to class my teacher told me to show the children my tooth. I will never forget that first visit to the dentist but next time I will be prepared.
