Dentist

Interpretation

Sitting in a dentist’s chair brings buried anger and grief to the surface. The vulnerability of opening your mouth mirrors how exposed you feel when addressing painful truths. Yet the presence of a skilled practitioner signals that tending to these sore spots leads to relief, clarity, and renewed strength.

If the appointment felt tense, you may resent the maintenance required to keep life running smoothly. A calm, competent experience points to the wisdom of seeking professional support when aches become too heavy to bear alone. Paying the dentist highlights inconveniences or sacrifices necessary for long-term wellness.
