THE DEEP ROOT EFFECT

I remember vividly a trip to a dentist for "deep root" surgery. I was told that as the nerve in my tooth was most likely dead, there was no need for an anaesthetic. I trusted the dentist as he selected which long wire to insert into my cavity to remove what ever was left before sealing the chasm.

The dentist inserted the wire an twisted it. Now I’m not small at 6ft 4inches and to be polite let's say "well built," so as I screamed and reached out to the thin 5ft dentist, in the haze of my pain I lifted him from the floor by his throat region.

I believe he heard my anguish and then set me free with a injection to dull the pain before starting the procedure again!!!
