My Dad's Visit to the Dentist!!!

For quite some time i had been pondering over the easy chair which i happened to witness at the dental college during my efforts to see what was  there inside my mouth apart from the bad breath and fuming smoke it could bring forth. Jokes apart i fell in love with that great easy chair on which they make the people glide and slide while with utmost concentration and endeavor they hold their teeth one after the another to inspect and discard which ever is necessary.

The chair was so slanting that one had to proportionately balance his or her weight for the fear of getting slanted once for all and lie peacefully on the floor beneath.  ( Yet to experience that exquisite pleasure).  Still the skilled ones with a many missing tooth would have acquired the wisdom of this antics by this time to grab the handles by the side and open wide their mouths to the greatest possible extent  which they would not have done in lives except for this purpose but even in their days of emaciated hunger to grab the food. All these people juxtaposed in a concourse with a open mouth eyes yearningly looking up to heaven reminded me of the atavistic instinct of the Israelite looking towards heaven to receive the manna.

The Skills of the doctor and of the patient now enjoined to accomplish as a seasoned ballet dancer entwined to relinquish the tooth of its deep rooted attachment. At last it came off with a suddenness twisting and making the doc and the patient to wonder at once of its barbarian looks and the size of the better half which had buried and embedded itself surreptitiously. The ordeal was over and patient still had his mouth wide open since the strain had made him to go in to a paralysis and had made the posture fixed as he now was much used to this posture.  The doc was now perturbed and she had to take the consultation of many others and with their help forced the lower articulated jaw in to the older slot by which time the patient was into a deep slumber unobtrusive of his past predicament.  

I could not but kept ruminating as to what could be the reason for a dreamless slumber and all that I was able to do was to nod at the comfort of the chair.  A splendid one.
