Dentist update!

I got up bright and early this morning which pissed me off at first since I had to be there at 8 am. But in hind sight its probably better Zack made such an early appointment, I might have canceled it otherwise.

And the dentist poked and prodded and came to the brilliant deduction that my tooth is in fact infected. After an Xray he figured it was a cracked root and not worth saving. So I am going back in next Monday to have it pulled at its neighbor my wisdom tooth which has a cavity in it, Mr. Dentist says its gotten to the point where it may start making trouble. (I already knew this but was waiting until Zack has dental insurance to take care of all of them at the same time)

And the best part is he is yanking both for the price of the first...
a two-fer...

get it... TOOTHER! LOL

I crack myself up!

Oh, and I lived through it.
Didn't even require an intoxicant or major psycological couseling after my appointment.
Yay me!

****UPDATE**** thanks everyone who has emailed me or commented about the dentist and my teeth! I never knew so many people had the fears I do of the dentist! Glad I am in good company... misery and all.

I HATE going to the dentist!

I have an appointment scheduled for 8 am at the dentist. Have I mentioned lately that I hate going? I can't remember when my aversion really started, maybe cause we never really went when I was a kid unless we had to, but somewhere along the lines I figured out that I hate it. Loath it.

I hate that I have to open my mouth so wide, and that then someone wants in there. I hate the buzz of the drill and the suck of the water sucker thing-y. *shudder* I hate how worked up I get, the butterflies that dance in my tummy the night before.

I tried going to the dentist like "they say" every 6 months, and without fail I have major work needing done. AND I BRUSH! (flossing I admittedly suck at) So for a few years I was going more like every 3 months, and still without fail, MORE WORK! So I started waiting (ie: putting it off) until I HAD to. I think the last time I went was right before I got pregnant with Grayson.

I hate the dentist.

And I know tomorrow is going to open a can of worms I can't afford right now to fix much less want to deal with. I am a firm believer in ignorance being bliss, sticking my Ostrich head in the sand.
now if I could just be an ostrich with perfect teeth...
