Many children start going for dental checkups at an early age, but Kelly Smithers was fourteen years old when she WENT for the first time. It WAS not a very experience.
Until then Kelly HAD BEEN lucky. She HAD ALWAYS HAD good teeth and HAD NEVER suffered from toothache.
But for two or three months Kelly HAD BEEN GETTING pain, on and off, in one of her teeth. So, her mother DECIDED that a trip to the dentist WAS necessary.
It TURNED out to be a terrible experience for Kelly. She HAD twelve fillings in one sitting and was in great pain. Since then, Kelly has suffered from dental phobia and HAS NEVER HAD the courage to go to the dentist’s again.
But then, three months ago, Kelly SIGNED up for a session at Feelgood Dentistry. She HAD STARTED to have tootache again and REALIZED that she NEEDED to do something about it. At Feelgood she HAD regular counselling sessions and WAS given then the chance to talk through her problems thoroughly. ‘It HAS BEEN wonderful so far,’ she says, ‘I HAVE BEGUN to understand what lies behind my phobia and so I should be able to overcome it soon.’
Karen sat at her desk. She couldn’t concentrate on her work because she was thinking about Dave. They HAD BEEN WORKING together for three years and she HAD ALWAYS LIKED him more than any of her other colleagues. They had never had an argument. They used to be able to talk about anything together- work matters or things that were affecting their private lives at the time. But now, everything had changed she felt that Dave was being very strange. DID HE HAVE some terrible secret? She decided to speak to him about it.
Dave WAS HAVING a coffee in the canteen when she found him. She got straight to the point. ‘Dave’ she said, ‘I HAVE KNOWN you for years. We HAVE STARTED working here at the same time and we have always got on well together. But you’ve been behaving very strangely. What’s happened?
Have I done something to upset you?’ Dave said nothing at first. He SAT there in silence. The he leaned forward and whispered, ‘No, you HAVEN’T DONE anything wrong. It’s me. For the past couple of months, I HAVE BEEN DOING something I shouldn’t. But I can’t tell you about it now.’ And then he got up and left. As he disappeared, Karen WONDERED what on earth it could be.
