Dental Drama!

OMG!

I just went to a dentist for the first time in eighteen years!

It was a weird experience!

Firstly, arriving at the dental practice, the computers were down so they couldn't check me in. Then the dentist I saw had just lost his wallet so was trying to sort that out... I sat in the dental chair whilst he did so (though he checked I was ok and apologised profusely!) Having not sat in a chair like this for some time, I was getting really nervous and by the time I actually got the focus, I was feeling pretty wary!

It went reasonably well! The noises don't bother me but I can't say i like having probing fingers around my mouth... That's what put me off as a kid - I was an interesting case so had up to five orthodontic folk sticking the fingers in to get a good view - not nice!

Anyhoo - He commented on how clean my teeth were... But did find some 'fissures' that led to the discovery of a little decay which was removed and filled. I also had an annoying bit of sharp tooth removed which has bugged me for years!

And that was really that... Not the nightmare I had worried about, nor that which I've heard from so many folk! It was a really straight forward event... Though now my teeth feel a bit 'funny' - I'm so used to them feeling one way that now they've been changed slightly, they don't feel quite right! I'm sure I'll get used to that! And there's no need to have my semi-grown wisdom teeth removed unless they cause pain & discomfort which they don't generally so I'm home and dry for six months... Next appointment is March!

Why did I leave it so long? Jxx
