"Kim, can you come with me to my office?" Karlie asks as she walks into my room. "Why?" I ask. "We just need to take some x rays for your file as it has been a while since we took your x rays," Karlie explains. I followed her to her office so I can have my x rays taken. We arrive and the office is closed for like a week so no one except Taylor is there. "Hi, Kim, what's wrong?" Taylor asks as she sees me. "Nothing, I just need x rays taken," I explain to Taylor. "Okay, follow me to the back," Taylor says. I follow Taylor to the x-ray machine. "Okay, open wide. I'm just going put this in your mouth so it can show your teeth in a clearer picture," Taylor says. She puts this film thing in my mouth so it can show a clearer photo of my teeth.

Taylor takes my x rays with my teeth showing. Nothing bad I hope is showing. "Karlie, can I go home now?" I ask. "Not yet, I'm going to have a cleaning done by Tay, then we can go," Karlie says. I was excited to watch Karlie get her teeth cleaned. I thought it would be funny when a dentist goes to the dentist. "Karlie, just open wide," Taylor asks. Karlie was calm at the dentist as she has white teeth. She didn't even freak out at all even when she got the ultrasonic scaler cleaning.

A week later, I wake up in the morning when I hear Karlie moan because of her tooth hurts. I called Taylor immediately as Karlie asked me to. "Hi, Kim, what's wrong? Taylor says as she realizes it's me. "Karlie has a toothache," I say when Karlie was changing into her normal clothes which usually consist of a v necked grey shirt, fila track pants and cotton sweatshirt. "Okay, thanks for telling, will you guys be coming to the office?" Taylor asks. "We might as well have to since her tooth is bugging her. She's getting some pain killers, but we don't have any since I used them all," I say. After calling Taylor, I walk into Karlie's room to tell her about her appointment with Taylor.

We walk to their office and walk into the furthest exam room where Taylor has prepped herself. "Hi Karlie, come on back," Taylor says as we walk into the exam room she prepped. Karlie sat down on the chair, but this time it was different as Karlie was nervous. It's unlike her to be nervous at the dentist. She must be nervous because she has a toothache which means a cavity.

"Karlie, we can take things easy and simple so you don't need to worry," Taylor says as she sees Karlie in agony. "Karlie, you want me to hold your hand?" I ask as she looks very uncomfortable in the chair. Karlie looks at me with sad eyes and nods her head. I roll over a stool next to Karlie and hold her hand. "Karlie, try to relax your muscles and let them drop so you won't be tense," I say to Karlie. "Okay, Karlie, just open wide and relax your mouth," Taylor says as gets her tools ready. Karlie opens her mouth and drops it, relaxing the entire jaw completely. "Kim, can you hold my hand?" Karlie asks. "Okay, sure," I say as Karlie grabs my right hand.

Karlie went well during her procedure and she nearly cried when the needle was poked into her lip. "Shhh, it's okay Karlie, it's not that bad right," I said. She just nods as tears start dripping out of her eyes. After a few minutes, her procedure is finished. "How was that, Karlie?" I ask as she hops out of the dentist chair. "Alright, I guess," Karlie says as her mouth is numb. "Thanks, Tay," I say. "No problem, Bye," Taylor says.
