“Amy are you on any new medication?” Bette asked

“Nope”

“AMY KENNARD PORTER”

The colour drained instantly from Amy, she looked as if she was going to faint.

“Sweetheart you’ll be fine, I’ll be with you all the time” Bette said

Amy got up and trailed her feet along the floor into the private room.

“I’m guessing you’re a little anxious” The dentist said

“A little is an understatement” Amy said

“I’m Karen and I promise you I wont do anything you don’t want me too I just really need to have a look and see what the problem is…this is Laurie my assistant she’s just going to take some notes”

Bette sat in a seat. Amy was watching her every move.

“My Mama is allowed to stay the WHOLE time isn’t she” Amy checked

“Yes your Mama doesn’t go anywhere without your say so” Karen reassured

Amy sat back on the seat.

“Ok im just going to put the seat back” Karen explained

The seat moved back and Amy clasped the seat arm hard.

“Ok can you open your mouth as wide as you can for me?”

Amy did as she was told and Karen began to examine her mouth shouting out various things at Laurie.

“Amy im going to do an x-ray on the tooth that’s giving you problems” Karen explained putting the seat back up again

She took out a small utensil with a piece of paper attached to it.

“Right what I want you to do is bite down on this when I put it in your mouth just for two seconds to hold it in place”

Amy did so and let it go straight away.

“I cant it hurts” Amy said

“I know it does but I need to do the x-ray so I need you to try hard ok” Karen explained “Bette can you stand outside the door with Laurie the now just for two seconds”

Amy bit down closing her eyes tight as the x-ray was down.

“That was flipping sore” Amy said

“Least it’s done now” Bette said
