"Mr. Bettiker?"
Sitting in the sterile lobby of my new dentist's office, I don't even lift my head when my name is called. Mr. Bettiker is my father, I'm just Josh, dammit! But no, not anymore. I'm a man now and will have to get used to this.
"Right this way."
This is actually the first appointment I've ever made for myself. Having just moved out at 23, I'm still used to being coddled by my parents. Of course they still support me financially but it's hard navigating the adult world! Finding a dentist that matched my insurance, the copay, bills, bills, more bills, AH! I don't know if I'm ready for this!
"Here we are, the doctor will be right with you."
I twiddle my thumbs after taking a seat on the plush teal chair. There's a photo of a quintessential suburban family on the wall, four kids and a happy couple. It's nice to see these are the kinds of people I now live around. Hearty, healthy, grounded people. Not like the insanity and vanity of my native Los Angeles.
A few minutes later the man I recognize from the photo lumbers in. He's so tall he has to duck under the doorframe, and damn, he's big too! Probably north of 250 lbs but certainly not fat, just a corn-fed, Midwest man. As the 6'3" star of my college football team I'm used to being an alpha male, but I have to remember none of that means shit in the real world. This guy has me on height, weight, plus he's a damn doctor! I really have to step my game up!
"You must be Josh," the big man says as he offers me his massive palm.
I try to stand but am kept down by his other hand on my shoulder. Intimidated by his aura, I offer a flimsy shake. My quarterback's palm feels tiny in his hairy bear paw, and though he opts not to crush me his warm greeting is arguably more emasculating.
"I'm Dr. Wellington, your new dentist. Did you just move to St. Louis?"
He still hasn't pulled his hands away and I stumble, "y-yeah. From Los Angeles."
"Ah, a California boy. No wonder your grip is so soft!"
He gives me a cheeky wink then steps back to roll up his sleeves. I can't believe how much I've already embarrassed myself during my first real outing as an adult and resolve to carry myself with more confidence and masculinity in the future--like Dr. Wellington.
I glance at the older man, hoping to one day keep my body in shape like his. His forearms are muscular and his bulging biceps strain the fabric of his tight blue button up. Though he's balding, his thick mustache and beard more than make up for it. His dark blue pants and tie scream luxury, and to top it off he smells incredible! Which reminds me: it's time to ditch the Axe body spray! Damn, no one warned me being a man was this hard!
"Usually the hygienist would clean you but she's out today," he informs me while snapping on latex gloves. "Besides, I like getting to know my new patients."
Dr. Wellington reclines my seat and shines the bright lights into my eyes.
"Open wide now, Josh, let's see those chompers."
"Aaaahhhhh......"
I slacken my jaw and allow the big doctor to trace his gloved fingers over my teeth. As usual, it's awkward to have someone in my mouth, even more so a man. I squirm as he circles my gums and inspects each molar.
"Everything feels good so far, Josh. You take excellent care of your teeth. Good oral hygiene is essential for any man, you know."
I nod awkwardly as a swirl of latex and cologne floods my nostrils.
"So, have you been enjoying St. Louis?" he asks a minute later.
I've always hated when the dentist tries to chat with their hands in my mouth.
"Mmmmyessshhh..." I gargle out.
"Glad to hear! Little different than Los Angeles, huh? Bit less fruity, ha!"
I try not to take offense and murmur, "mmmhmmm...."
"Well I'm sure it won't be long until you find yourself a nice girl to settle down with. Then you'll have a big family like me!"
Lost in memories of my ex-girlfriend back home, I apparently reply too late.
Dr. Wellington smirks wryly, "sorry, didn't mean to assume. Maybe it's a nice boy you're looking for." I desperately moan to deny his accusation but he winks, "you can never be too sure with kids these days. And don't worry, if you are I won't judge. I just thought maybe...."
Damn! Do I really strike him as that kind of guy??? My cheeks burn as this giant man stomps all over my manhood, and with him touching my tonsils I just have to lie there and take it. The cleaning continues uncomfortably with more mental and physical probing. I'm so overwhelmed by the doctor, his large body, his sausage fingers. I've never felt so small and weak, like I have no control over anything. It's a strange new sensation and my adrenaline surges.
"Okay, almost done. Let me just give you a quick cavity check then you're good to go."
Dr. Wellington brings out a sharp metal poker and begins prodding various teeth. All is going well until the tool sinks into a pit in my top left molar. I wince and see the doctor smile before he tells me I'll have to stay for a filling.
"Don't worry, it won't take long," he assures, but I'm too distraught to listen.
Not only is this my first cavity, but of all the dentists in the world it has to be this one to fill it! Ever since he swaggered in and out-manned me I've been on edge. I just want to be back in LA where everyone thinks I'm the shit. I had girls on my dick, dudes wished they were me, but now I'm just some insignificant nobody!!
"Okay, Joshy, I'm gonna give you some laughing gas now and a minor sedative. This should knock you out so you won't feel anything."
"Ummm... Are you sure I need that? I think I'll be okay....."
"Nonsense! I can't have you waking up during the procedure! Besides, a boy like you can't handle this much pain so let's get the mask on."
My cheeks flare at his insinuation that I'm a pussy but I whisper a defeated, "okay....."
A plastic mask is fitted over my nose and mouth and soon I'm lightheaded.
"Count backwards from 10."
"10..... 9...... 8.............."
The last thing I see is Dr. Wellington's massive bulge as he messes with his fly. I hear his belt jingle faintly before I'm sucked into the blackness of psychoactive drugs. When I wake up some time later I don't remember much. My mouth and jaw are sore, but that seems normal. Strangely, my zipper is undone, but I must've done that to get comfortable. I'm still woozy as the big doctor tells me I can't eat or drink for an hour.
"We don't want to ruin my hard work now, do we?"
