Therapy

This shot occurred to me yesterday as I was lying in the suspicious comfort of the dentists chair having some root planing done (I believe even he got nervous when I gave a rare smile). Root planing is an incredibly interesting experience to undergo if you ever have an excess of cash and nothing to spend it on. I fail to see why they give dentistry and the art of filling a persons mouth with cotton wool, swabs of assorted sizes and as many hands as are available at the time Dental "Therapy", however having had one root canal I will put myself through almost anything to avoid a second. Except listening to Justin Bieber. Nobody should have to go through the indignity of that.
Best viewed on black of course.
gruesome I don't understand how this relates to a root canal or root planning. I've had several root canals done and could almost fall asleep while they were being done. I felt no pain, and I wasn't sedated either.

@bill_fe I'm blessed with incredibly sensitive teeth. I don't know what I did in a previous life to deserve it but I don't know how this can't relate...gruesome ;)

Maybe you were a crocodile in a previous life.
Well at least you didn't have to undergo a root planning and having to listen to Justin B in the background at the same time.
Great shot, as usual!

Haven't you got any more pictures from the sculpture park?

So do I want to know what you have on your face? And really if they stick their hands in your mouth they are inviting a good bite or two....at least from my standpoint.....

Is root planning the same as a 'mind map"? I wish I hadn't noticed your tags!

Oh Maggie, now that you've pointed that out........

they went a bit too deep

Are you ever away from your dentist? Must be the toffee or the wine that is making them need so much work
March 31st, 2015  
What on earth is on your face? Very interesting, and I'm not sure how it relates to dentistry...

@pinkpaintpot I've had a bad run lately - I normally go every 3 months for a clean but this time I had to go back :(
@kali66 You're not kidding
@barb_b Snigger ;)
@melston ;)
@maggiemae It is of course emant to be root planing - I blame my fat fingers ;)
@deak68 It's so tempting not to bite down instead of opening wide...and it's flour and water ;) I might have pasta for lunch...
@vignouse Good lord, what ever for?
@overalvandaan That would be the ultimate torture...and thanks
March 31st, 2015  
@888rachel It just popped into my head while I was in the chair...and it's only flour and water. After this shot I made pasta

Great shot, if you're lucky, your next root canal will be accompanied by Bieber on the tube for your viewing pleasure. Imagine all the photographic ideas that you would come up with under those circumstances.
March 31st, 2015  
@bigugly I don't think there would be much dental work being done as I'd be too busy biting down.

@bill_fe @graemestevens
I have had root canal and it was the most horrific experience - I think Bill was snorting a whole heap of stuff before he sat in the chair lol - wish I'd tbought of that
March 31st, 2015  
Looks very tribal and yes, I have to strongly agree on the Bieber front.
March 31st, 2015  
@eyeamlisa Thanks and who wouldn't agree???
@annied @bill_fe Now that's an approach that I should have taken!
March 31st, 2015  
@annied @graemestevens I suspect that some snorting was going on in the thought process for this image. ;)
March 31st, 2015  
@bill_fe @annied Hey! Not so loudly!

Pasta a'la Graeme has a special flavor! Bwahahahaa!
March 31st, 2015  
@creativefool I haven't found anyone willing ti lick it off yet - even the dogs are steering well clear!
March 31st, 2015  
Your wife is very lucky to have such a sensitive man who can cook too!
March 31st, 2015  
@deliad Isn't she though, and now I have it writing ;)
March 31st, 2015  
You scared me!!! There I was casually scrolling down and ....
March 31st, 2015  
@lwain well, at least I scared one person...mission accomplished ;)
March 31st, 2015  
Sam
Do you do this during your work day?
March 31st, 2015  
There are few (very few ) people who could carry this off, well done Graeme a scare a day keeps aaaaaaaaaaaah , well someone away..
March 31st, 2015  
@graemestevens 3 months oh my gosh are you revelling in the stress or is the dentist revelling in your money
March 31st, 2015  
Very interesting ☺
March 31st, 2015  
Good to see you put your props to good use. It makes a great effect. And s fave for giving me the amusing vision of you smiling at a nervous dentist.
March 31st, 2015  
I want more of the lady and the dog!
March 31st, 2015  
I'd sue personally making you leave without removing that stuff from your face.... isn't it supposed to be inside??
PS great shot tho
March 31st, 2015  
@denisefuller He does such a good job, despite my complaints that I don't think I'd dare sue!
@yrhenwr Don't we all...but I'm. Not allowed near either of them for legal reasons...
@karlow75 Thanks very much - he always gets nervous when I smile at him for some reason...
@shawnasays That's one way of putting it
@pinkpaintpot I'm patiently waiting for an invite to see all the new stuff he's bought ;)
@jack4john Thanks - not my best, by a long shot...
@gigiflower Usually during my lunch break...it really doesn't take too long (and with this shot you can tell)
March 31st, 2015  
what is that stuff? shaving foam? looks lethal stuff....
March 31st, 2015  
As always love your commentary and the pic makes me a bit nervous but it´s awesome work, as always.
March 31st, 2015  
Fearsome shot
March 31st, 2015  
Oh yeah man, just wear that face on your next visit in pat back for all your pain and indignities; then lend it to me for my next visit.
March 31st, 2015  
@newbank Just flour and water...later on I made pasta ;)
@susale Thanks very much :)
@neatz Thank you kindly :)
@ceilidh I should do that actually...he's a grumpy bugger but he'd love it
April 1st, 2015  
Oh, my, disturbing and fabulous all at the same time! Is that shaving cream on your face?! Oooops, I see, flour and water as stated above, and later consumed!

@panthora Thank you kindly, the pasta was delightful ;)
