Do you like going to the dentist? I don’t. I don’t think many people like it. A few weeks ago, my gum was swollen. It wasn’t painful, but I was worried about it. So I made an appointment with the dentist. I hadn’t been for about three years!

The dentist took an x-ray. He said, “Your gum is swollen because there is a problem with your teeth. You need treatment.”

So, last week, I had treatment. I had three injections so I couldn’t feel anything. The dentist drilled my teeth, but I didn’t feel any pain. I think my dentist is highly skilled. He also gave me medicine -some to kill bacteria, and some painkillers.

I went back to the dentist yesterday. The dentist looked at my teeth, and said, “Everything looks OK now. But I need to work on another tooth next time.”

So, I am going back to the dentist next year. I am happy that my gum is no longer swollen, and that I have no pain. It’s nearly Christmas, and I want to eat chocolate! Maybe that is not good for my teeth….
