My Dentist Loves Maple Syrup

Today I went to the dentist.

I hate the dentist.

When I got there, mommy and I sat in the waiting room. It seemed like forever.

When the Dentist called me in, I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the dentist’s chair.

When I got to the room, I saw a huge jar of maple syrup.

“Maple syrup?” I thought. “How strange.”

The dentist walked in with a giant smile across his face.

“Well hello there! How are you doing today?” He said.

“I’m doing alright Mr. Dentist. I would be a lot more happy if I wasn’t sitting in this chair, that’s for sure!”

The dentist looked at me and exclaimed, “Well don’t worry kiddo, it’ll be quick and painless and I’ll even give you some of my favorite maple syrup after!”

“Maple syrup? Isn’t that bad for my teeth? Aren’t you supposed to tell me I should stay away from sugary stuff and brush my teeth twice a day?” I asked.

“Well you’re right actually! You should brush your teeth everyday and not eat lollipops and too much candy on halloween.”

Then he said, “But I love maple syrup! Do you like maple syrup?”

I couldn’t lie to him, “Well yeah.. I love maple syrup with waffles and pancakes!”

“Exactly! Everyone loves maple syrup!”

“Alright. Let’s check out those pearly whites so we can get to that maple syrup!”

And in that moment, I wasn’t scared of the dentist.

He cleaned my teeth and checked for cavities. Before long, he turned around, grabbed a spoon and handed me some maple syrup.

“Wow. This is great!”

Thanks Mr. Dentist, see you next time!
