Ugghhh...the Dentist
So I had to go to the dentist today for my 6-month cleaning :-( Booo...It put me in a bad mood all morning just because I had to go. I wasn't even scheduled to get anything filled and no shots, but I was still nervouse. Everytime I even think about the dentist my hands sweat.
Anyway, I went...and everything is in good working order, minus to root canal that I need on the left hand side of my jaw, and the filling that is sensative to both heat and cold. The dentist checked out the sensativity by taking the bottom end of the little mouth mirror and banging (and not so gently might I add) on my teeth untill I yelled out "OWWWWWWWWW". Apparently, that is the medical procedure for finding the sensative tooth.
But whatever works. I have to go back and get a medicated filling to see if that will help with the sensativity problem. She wants to avoid telling me that I have to have a root canal on that side too...because the last time she told me that I started sobbing uncontrollably and then cancelled my next appointment ;-) I'm such a whimp :-)
