I have a dental appointment at noon. I’ve never been afraid of the dentist, but before going I always have a dull sense of dread, there’s a real stigma to dentists. The surgical mask, the binocular things he puts over his glasses, those horrible gloves in your mouth. He could do anything to you in that moment. I’m going to take better care of my teeth, I don’t like needles so today isn’t going to be fun.
