Dentists

I’m afraid of the dentist.

Always have been, for as long as I can remember. 覚えている限り、ずっとそうでした。 Even if the dentist is really, really kind and gentle, I’m still afraid. Even if the dental surgery is colourful and there’s relaxing music, I’m still afraid. たとえ歯科手術がカラフルで、リラックスできる音楽があっても、私はまだ恐れています。 Dentists for me haven’t changed a bit. When I was a child, I hated the sound of the drill. That sound is still there today. When I was young, I hated the smell. Same smell today. I can’t wait for the day scientists invent something so we never need dentists. The strange thing is, when I was younger, I wanted to be a dentist. I thought it would be good to treat people just like me. I felt I would understand others who have the same fear. I think I would have been a good dentist. 私は良い歯医者になっていたと思います。
