I am both excited I finally got this done, and nervous because...you know, dentist ew.
But my poor mouth has been telling me it's past due.
(Only recently! Hopefully nothing serious.)
(Probably my guns and hopefully a treatment or two can do the trick. Idk, idk what I'm talking about lol)
Dentists are so scary, but I'm glad you're getting the chance to go
wishing you an amazing dentist who makes it as unhorrible as possible!
But it wasn't so bad. They were nice and let me laugh at how ridiculous I was. |D
My teeth are mostly fine, just a lot of tartar build up over the numerous years. They feel so weird now (but clean!)
They want to put some extra protection on a few worn down spots (no idea what I did to my teeth! I don't think I grind them but you never know. it could be subconscious. she said it could also be developmental. it's a mystery.)
I don't want to spend more money but also this is way better than it could be so I will deal. And spend money to keep my teeth. I do not want to lose my teeth.
Also belatedly thanks guys!
I think I will vegetate for a while. Even though I'm fine, that was also a lot. It's not like I get out often so. stress. even though i didn't feel stressed. i know it's there. somewhere.
A while ago, I hadn't been to the dentist in years either. I had a tooth that needed a root canal, that I just thought was pain radiating down from the bad nerve in my face. it was like a miracle when my dentist figured out we could fix that. I could eat without pain again, amazing
dentists that operate with kindness rather than shame and judgement are worth their weight in gold
Oh my gosh, that's a nightmare to me. But it's so good to have that fixed up and not something you had to just... you know, live with forever. That would be the worst and it sounds like it's already a butt sometimes as is. :<
Glad it got fixed and no more pain.
And yeah! They were totally just nodding like "yeah, we know. we understand. that's life" no bad vibes at all. Me all guilty but they were just reassuring all the time that actually my mouth is pretty healthy!
Just a few touch ups. I am very happy.
My bank account will be happier once the few extra check ups and things are done though. >.>;
