DENTAL ANXIETY

from age 5, when my mother tricked me into a visit to the dentist's "office" where I kicked the round milk-glass instrument tray across the room, breaking it and scattering probes and picks across the linoleum flore, fleeing from the huge,chromed hypodermic needles and pliers to the preferred environment of Becker's Notion's Store......I have always arrived at even my trusted and beloved dentist, Baxter Bender's, with high anxiety, high blood-pressure and unmitigated dread and fear.....I think this all began with my experiences with the old WWI army dentist that I first experienced as a kid.....



and, incidentally, "Little Shop......" remains one of my favored musicals....Frank Oz is a genius, isn't he!
