Cavities Galore!

I haven't been to the dentist in about 8 years. Wow. That's a really long time. Anyway, I wanted to bleach my teeth for our upcoming cruise and Tawny was awesome enough to send me some bleach. All I needed was some bleaching trays. So I bit the bullet and made an appointment to see the dentist. Well, I couldn't just go in there to get trays, I had to have an actual check up. Dang it all! I had 6 cavities!!! Thursday I went and had 3 on the left side filled and today I had 3 on the right side filled. (I'm nothing if not symmetrical.) And now I'm cavity free! Wahoo!! (But I'm still numb all the way to my ear on the right. Oh well...it keeps me from shoveling food into my face for a few hours :))

Good girl for finally going to the dentist. Better to get a filling now than a root canal later!

Pregnancy did it for me! Morning sickness where you can't even put a toothbrush in your mouth and acid from throwing up! I had 10!!! After all that....although unfortunately I do think they elaborated...and filled more because I was in a hurry and on medicaid. I think they filled "stains"...later I found out they weren't the most honest denists!!! I try not to think about it too much as it makes me furious that they ruined my teeth by filling more than necessary!!!!
